Buildings renovated with MGN plasters

Here are some famous international building / heritage monuments which have all been renovated with MGN plasters.

Dealing with Excess Salinity - Salt Warehouses of Venice (Magazzini del Sale)

The Salt Warehouses of Venice (Magazzini del Sale) date back to the beginning of the 15th century. They were built to store a very precious trade commodity: salt. Situated across 9 large halls, the salt warehouse could hold up to 4500 tons of salts.

As a result of its location (Venice) and its use (a salt storage) it is probably the most salty building fabric in the world. The only lime plaster capable of withstanding such an extremely salty environment is the Rinzaffo MGN Roman salt-resistant base coat. This plaster is also gentle to the historic fabric – when it reaches its end of its life, it comes off gently without damaging the underlying historic (in this case the nearly 600-year old) wall fabric.

Full Refurbishment and Insulation of a Listed Building

Here is a 200 year-old listed building in a valley, with very high water table and thick stone walls. It has been fully refurbished and thermally insulated with the MGN breathable lime insulation system.

Structural Reinforcement of an Old Barn with Betoncino MGN

Here is an application example of the Betoncino Consolidante MGN structural reinforcement mortar used on an old barn with damaged, weakened masonry.

The Crypt Waterproofing Project

Waterproofing the service area of an old crypt with traditional Roman lime waterproofing and Cocciopesto plasters. On some parts of the room the MGN Lime-Pozzolanic Tanking Slurry System has also been applied to reinforce the waterproofing in critical areas.
