Historic preservation Professional renovation with Brillux

Listed historic buildings have a special value – for the history, the people, or the politics of a city. They are considered to be particularly worthy of protection: from an architectural or artistic point of view. But historic facades often have heterogeneous substrates requiring a painstaking analysis. Different types of damage may be present – arising from weathering or previous unsuccessful renovations. But the damage is usually not visible at first glance. This makes a careful assessment of the substrate and consulting even more important. The experts at Brillux are glad to help.

Renovations

Protection by special paints

For covering coatings on and in listed historic buildings, it is advisable to use only water-vapor-permeable coating materials. Both silicate dispersion paints and silicone resin paints have proven themselves effective for protecting the building structure.

Longinus Tower

Longinus Tower: Landmark of the Baumberge Hills

The Baumberge Hills are a hilly landscape to the west of Münster - with the 187.61 meter high Westerberg as the highest summit. The Longinus Tower was erected there between 1897 and 1901. For a long time it was used solely as an observation tower, but has also housed a café since 1995. The interior rooms underwent a radical renovation starting at the end of 2015. Under strict specifications from the German Department for the Preservation of Historic Buildings and Monuments, the café, sanitary facilities, the tower staircase, and the observation platform were completely redesigned.
