Fachwerkhäuser restaurieren - sanieren - modernisieren

Many half-timbered buildings that have withstood the elements for centuries often only become candidates for renovation through modernization or repair measures. Are historic half-timbered houses compatible with modern living comfort? How can today's requirements be met without damaging the historical substance? Wolfgang Lenze explains the constructive and building-physical peculiarities of a half-timbered house, identifies the most common mistakes in maintenance and renovation, and provides concrete guidelines for sustainable restoration based on historical principles. He outlines precise procedures, construction features, materials, and recipes that are aligned with traditional craftsmanship techniques while also considering experiences with newly developed products, such as in the areas of insulation materials, clay construction, window systems, or painting systems.
