Location: Teplice
Originally built in the early 19th century, this spa has a facade which cracked and faded over time due to pollution. In the reconstruction project, the aim was to preserve, repair and reconstruct all decorative facade elements in their original color and style.
The deteriorated masonry was repaired with SikaWall color-render products. Sika ThermoCoat®-5 Color siloxane facade paint was the final facade finish, which is water-repellent and increases the weather resistance of the painted surfaces. It was chosen in shades of yellow and beige to match the original, historical colors.
