Key Achievements

  • Invention of a new solution – AQUAROC® cement-fibre slab received a new application
  • High aesthetics thanks to the contractors’ workmanship excellence
  • All surfaces are finished in Q3 or Q4 quality
  • Good relationship and cooperation within the team (contractor – RIGIPS technical department – support possible at any time) – that’s why construction limitations related to the renovation of the historic building and the implementation of the designer’s design were not an obstacle.

Key Challenges

Revitalisation of the historic building from 18th century required close cooperation of a conservator and all materials used had to meet specific requirements.
Reconciling the conservation vision with the implementation of such a complicated investment – very high aesthetic and quality requirements – combination of modernity and history while maintaining the original character of the castle – while maintaining the original character of the castle.
New application for the AQUAROC® cement-fibre board.
