One of the primary needs of the hotel unit was the renovation of its building facilities but also the need for saving energy. Such a requirement could be satisfied with an integrated system of external thermal insulation and energy upgrade of buildings.

The products that participated in this project are (by order of application): The quartz primer DS-255 of DUROSTICK, which created excellent bonding conditions between the substrate and the special adhesive for the insulation panels the fiber-reinforced ULTRACOLL THERMO of DUROSTICK. This adhesive meets the requirements of the ETAG 004 for external insulation systems as a polystyrene adhesive and basic coating product.

The DS-4160 fiberglass reinforcing mesh was selected for the reinforcement of the THERMOSEAL coating system. The special fiberglass mesh is highly resistant to any alkaline environment while providing significant structural reinforcement preventing future cracks. In order to properly prepare the surface for the plaster, the special HYDROSTOP SILICONE PRIMER was used. For the top coat of the external thermal insulation system, the choice was the acrylic waterproof plaster in paste, HYDROSTOP ACRYLIC PLASTER Fine.
