AERO-THERM® THERMO-ACTIVE PLASTER & MOVIE MUSEUM

Location: Ratibořice, Czech Republic
Type of structure: Historic Building (Museum)
Date of implementation: January 2017
Application made by: THERMO INDUSTRY, a.s.

Problem:
With the new renovation of the historical building which is home to the Viktorka Movie Museum in Ratibořice, Czech Republic, an incorrect heating energy assessment for the project resulted in the building’s underfloor heating system being undersized by some 30%. Delivering necessary additional heating using surface mounted wall radiators did not appeal to the building’s owners, as this would have resulted in a loss of exhibition space.

Solution:
The owners of the building were offered an application of AERO-THERM® thermo-active plaster to the interiors of the external walls of the building on all above-ground floors, together with the top floor ceilings. (Total of 4628.5 square feet)

The application was made in two layers on newly repaired and shaded walls and ceiling, using a special low-pressure spraying device. Subsequently, the walls and ceilings were painted.

Result:
2 days after application, the temperature in the building was about 2-3 ° C higher without any changes to the heating system. The owner of the building is very satisfied with the results.
