Coating of steps in historic buildings

Cladding of the cladding phases of historic buildings is an essential activity for the conservation and restoration of these historic monuments. The importance of preserving historic buildings cannot be underestimated, as they not only reflect the history and culture of a community, but also contribute to local identity. Architectural details such as steps are often key elements that define the character of a building. It is therefore essential to ensure that the step covering work respects the standards of conservation and integrity of these structures.

With regard to top quality materials used in the covering of steps of historic buildings, RATGROUP SRL prides itself on using the highest quality products. We use old Admonter wood, which not only looks beautiful, but is also extremely durable. Additionally, UZIN and Wakol adhesives are excellent choices to ensure optimal adhesion and compatibility with the original building structure. These materials not only comply with conservation regulations, but also contribute to increasing the aesthetic value of the building.

The modern stair cladding techniques we apply are designed to meet conservation standards. We use professional equipment, such as Columbus sanders and specialized Wolf and Janser machines, which allow us to carry out precise, high-quality work. These tools help us adapt to the specifics of each building, ensuring that every detail is executed with the utmost care.

The international experience of the RATGROUP team in restoration work is another aspect that distinguishes us. With over 10 years of experience exclusively in the West, we have had the opportunity to work in countries such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where we have learned best practices in the field. This experience allows us to approach each project with a clear vision and innovative solutions, adapted to the specific needs of our customers.

Collaboration with restoration specialists and architects is essential for the success of heritage projects. At RATGROUP, we pride ourselves on working with industry experts who help us ensure that each work complies with legal regulations and preservation standards. This collaboration allows us to carry out complex projects, such as the restoration of steps of historic buildings, without compromising their integrity.

A relevant example of our expertise is the project carried out for the Regional Hospital of Passau, where we carried out cladding work on the steps using ancient wood and specialized adhesives. The result was a perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality and the feedback received was extremely positive. This is just one of many successful projects created by RATGROUP in historic buildings.

The challenges encountered when tiling stairs in old buildings are many. From dilapidated structures to stringent conservation requirements, each project presents its challenges. It is essential to carefully evaluate the state of each building before starting work, to ensure that the solutions we propose are the most suitable. For example, during work on a residential complex in Bavaria, we encountered moisture-related issues that required innovative solutions to protect the original structure.

The importance of choosing adhesives and materials that are compatible with the original structure cannot be stressed enough. The use of UZIN and Wakol adhesives allows us to guarantee optimal adhesion without affecting the original materials of the building. This is an essential part of our restoration process, ensuring that each work is durable and aesthetically pleasing.

The aesthetic impact of clad steps on the value of the building is significant. A well-executed staircase not only improves the overall appearance of the building, but helps increase its value on the real estate market. In the case of a recently completed residential complex, the old wood-clad steps were appreciated by both tenants and visitors, which led to an increase in interest in new apartments in the area.

The technology used to ensure the durability and safety of the steps is another important aspect of our work. We use professional equipment such as the Opel Vivaro – mobile workshop, which allows us to transport all the necessary tools directly to the construction site. This not only simplifies the work process, but also ensures better control over the quality of execution.

Maintenance of coated steps in historic buildings is essential to ensure their longevity. We advise our customers to carry out periodic checks and to use products specifically designed for the maintenance of ancient wood. This will help prevent premature deterioration and maintain the aesthetic appearance of the steps in the long term.

The role of professional equipment in carrying out high-quality work cannot be underestimated. We use specialized Wolf and Janser machines to ensure precise and efficient execution of our work. These tools are essential to achieve excellent results while meeting conservation standards.

RATGROUP respects all the certifications and standards necessary in restoration works. We ensure that each project is carried out in accordance with the law and that all the materials used comply with current regulations. This is an essential part of our commitment to quality and excellence.

The testimonials of customers who have benefited from RATGROUP services are clear proof of the quality of our work. The positive feedback received from Mercedes Benz Autohaus Munchen and Caverion Deutschland GmbH confirms our industry expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction.

RATGROUP’s vision for the future of historic building restoration in Romania is optimistic. We want to continue to promote the importance of preserving these historical monuments and contribute to the development of innovative solutions that respect tradition and history.
