HERITAGE
CONSERVATION
AND PRESERVATION
THE GLOBAL NUMBER ONE
IN HISTORIC BUILDING RESTORATION AND PROTECTION
Fabric conservation for the preservation of historic buildings is without doubt the most complex building protection discipline. Remmers is by far the Global and the European No. 1.
Company founder Bernhard Remmers was passionately committed to this from the start. For more than half a century a highly productive relationship has existed between the most demanding restoration requirements and our research and development teams. This means continually learning from the job: Nowhere else do the distinctive features from the level of weathering and deterioration of different materials or their unique environments – have to be analysed and detailed so meticulously.
UNDERSTANDING AND PRESERVING HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Quite rightly, Conservators are amongst our most demanding “customers”. Mistakes can easily cause the irretrievable loss of historic structures. A precise, extremely careful and conscientious approach is an absolute must. The conservation methods and its objectives must be specified in detail. They can be very different i.e. restoration/replacement or conservation of the original fabric? Our specialists fully understand heritage conservation and they understand and believe in the buildings need to be preserved.
HIGH EXPERTISE
Over 50 years’ experience on many of Europe’s most important buildings and collaboration with many international experts has given us experience and competence unique in the industry. With literally towering references: Europe’s tallest church tower, Ulm Cathedral (161 m), Cologne Cathedral, the Vienna “Steffel” (St. Stephan’s Cathedral) and St. Basil’s Cathedral facing the Kremlin in Red Square among them. Expertise and products from Remmers have also proved successful in the tropical climate of Cambodia, at the legendary temple site of Angkor Wat.
WHEN THE STONES WEAKEN …
… wise counsel is needed. Drawing on our wide range of tailored systems, our experts can provide product options as individual as the unique building to be protected: tailor made for the stone, the extent and rate of weathering, the climatic conditions and above all the character of the historic building itself.
WE PUT OUR MONEY BEHIND HERITAGE PROTECTION
Because we think heritage conservation is far more than a business segment, we founded the Bernhard Remmers Academy, where knowledge and information is exchanged and passed on. All of the profits go the German Foundation for Monument Protection.
