Historic building upkeep, restoration, and not least the preservation of historical monuments: Today dehumidification of masonry is becoming more and more important.

In Austria, ineffective or insufficient dehumidification of masonry causes unnecessary costs of structural damage which total an estimated €50 million every year. The main reasons are inadequate planning, implementation, bad material choices and poor quality grades.

Avoiding structural damage has been much enhanced by Austrian standard ÖNORM B 3355 (Dehumidification of masonry). This document has been in existence since 1995, with an updated version available since 1 March, 2006.

Obviously, standard-compliant professionalism will be the number one priority for you and the experts at ofi.
