The city of Munich is awarding the successful renovation of facades. Sikkens received this awarded twice in 2001. Our premium decorative brand convinced with excellent products and complete renovation concepts that were professionally executed in cooperation with the painter company Hölzberger & Sedlmeier from Dachau.  

The first recommendation concerned the restoration of a neo-gothic house that was already constructed at the end of the 19th century by architect Andreas Schmidt. In cooperation with the Munich Office for Historic Buildings, Sikkens created an extensive color concept for the richly decorated building. The painter company Hölzberger & Sedlmeier, specialist for the renovation of historic buildings, has used the primer Aktivator Tiefenhärter and polysiloxane paint Diwaloxan for the facade.

The old-fashioned, single pane window frames have been replaced with insulating wooden window frames. That creates, together with the fine texture of the façade, a very harmonious picture. The window frames were finished with Cetol HLS and Cetol Filter 7. The sedate overall picture was completed craftsman-like with the careful restoration of the canopy figures of Maria and Josef. The colors were produced in Sikkens „Atelier der Farbe“ according to the requirements of the specifier. This resulted in a successful tailor made color scheme for the building.

With the exemplary restoration of a Jugendstil building (1906-07) of Anton Hatzl, Sikkens secured an additional Façade Award. Here also Hölzberger & Sedlmeier from Dachau were involved in the success.

The complete plastering of the house – with the exception of the stucco layer – had to be removed and a new coat applied. The effortful Comb- and Brush-plaster structure was re-applied in authentic manner. To secure the long-term protection of the façade, the building was primed with Fondo Setaliet. Consequently a coat of Setaliet silicate paint was applied.
