Nursery Waldemar Berlin
The Nursery Waldemar in Berlin is an architectural gem in the Luisenviertel district of Kreuzberg. The listed villa offers 85 children ample space to play and romp around. In order for the historic building to continue to be available as a social facility, the energy efficiency of the walkways on four floors had to be refurbished. The skilled contractors at the company Andreas Schmitz Dachbau Berlin installed the balcony thermal insulation system Triflex BIS to avoid thermal bridges and reduce heating costs. This is used together with the balcony waterproofing system Triflex BTS-P with a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin base. At the same time, the contractors have created reliable protection against penetrating moisture. The girls and boys in the nursery can now develop their full potential in the sustainably refurbished villa. The building on Berlin's Waldemarstrasse has been used as a social institution since 1877. It is located in the gardens of the former Bethanien Hospital, surrounded by green spaces and a children’s farm, in the historic Luisenstadt district of Berlin-Kreuzberg.
