Elimination of extreme mould and reduction of damp in a historic apartment

Elimination of extreme mould and reduction of damp in a historic apartment - ALPHA CZECH, Revolutionary reflective insulating coatings
 

Our next project focused on removing extreme mould and reducing damp in an apartment in a historic house where mould had affected almost every room. In historic buildings, a common cause of these problems is the structure, which does not insulate adequately and creates thermal bridges.

First, we thoroughly removed the moldings and visible mold by scraping and cleaning the affected areas. We then applied an insulating coating of Alpha Inner, which not only prevents mold from reappearing, but also eliminates thermal bridging and reduces moisture. By doing this, we achieved a reduction in humidity and created the conditions for a healthier and more energy efficient home.

After the application of the coating, the walls of the apartment are insulated and thermal bridges are eliminated, which significantly contributes to savings on heating costs. The owners of the apartment in the historic building are now assured of a healthier environment, and have also received certification and a 5-year warranty from us.

Are you struggling with mould or damp? We are happy to help you find a solution tailored to the specifics of your apartment or home.

 

About us

As a representative of the HOA we were looking for options to reduce the energy in our house. The problem was that insulating the whole house was out of the question, we had already replaced the windows and thus there was no option where to go next. In our search we came across this site. We discussed this option at the HOA meeting and the majority agreed to at least give painting a try. A member of our HOA is a man who has been involved with insulation systems for 20 years and assured us that this material works, just unfortunately it is not yet widespread enough in our country for people to know about it. So we made an appointment for a technician to visit our house to tell us what all the options are. In the end we agreed to apply the paint in our office as a trial and I decided to paint the flat. The application date and work was very quick and even after the paint was dry, you could feel the surface responding to the temperature of your hand and the wall was pleasantly warm to the touch. I can now safely say that this was the best investment we have made today and most importantly we have the opportunity to reduce people's energy prices in our home, which we didn't have before.

I have a family house that is insulated and thus I didn't look for another savings option as I didn't know of any options. This year we decided to paint and while looking for a painting company I came across ALPHA CZECH and I must say I was immediately impressed with the paint. I immediately set up a consultation and discussed everything with the technician over the phone. Subsequently, the technician came to measure the house and prepared a quote for me. When I found out that it would only cost 50% more to get the paint than a traditional painting job, the decision was made. Now 6 months after the application, when the house was comfortably cool in the summer, we knew our decision was definitely the right one. I'm already waiting for the cooler months when we start heating and see the difference both temperature and financially.

After reading the information about this paint, I was hesitant to see if it really works. I finally called and set up a consultation. The technician who came explained everything to me and really convinced me of the functionality, and most importantly the savings in heating costs, which were prohibitive for me these days. The first month after the application, I saw the result and it is really what it states. My heating has been turned down as after the energy increase, but at the same time my apartment is much warmer.

The purchase cost is higher than painting with ordinary paint, but the result was worth it. Although I'm not sure how fast the payback will be, but by the fact that the paint already remains on the masonry for the life of the building, the annual savings on energy and the pleasant warmth at home definitely makes up for it.
