Eight guides on heating costs, facades and roofs in old buildings.
Cut heating costs in an old building
Where an old building loses heat and how a coating only 1 mm thick on facade and attic floor saves 50–70 % heating energy on average. With a calculator for your address.
ReadVapour-permeable facade coating
Vapour class V1, water absorption W3, tested to EN 15824. Why a vapour-permeable coating keeps the wall dry and insulates at the same time.
ReadHow does nano-ceramic insulation work?
Vacuum core, ceramic shell, 1 mm layer thickness: how the PScoat coating keeps heat in the house. Explained simply, with measured values.
ReadCeramic coating or external insulation?
1 mm coating instead of 100 mm boards: build-up, effort, cost and performance compared, with prices per square metre.
ReadFacade coating cost
Easy €15, Plus €29, Premium €45, Komplett from €100 per m². What the packages deliver and how to work out your total cost and payback.
ReadFlat-roof coating or roof renovation?
Outside only flat roofs, pitched roofs from inside: when a coating is enough and when a new build-up makes sense.
ReadPlanning facade protection in old buildings economically
Why the facade of an old building needs protection and insulation at the same time, when a vapour-permeable coating only 1 mm thick is the economic choice, and what it costs per m².
ReadRaising wall surface temperature in rooms
A cold exterior wall makes a room uncomfortable and encourages mould. How a coating 1 mm thin raised the wall temperature from 13.0 to 19.7 °C, and what that means for dew point and moisture.
