UZIN Renoplan® Revolutionizing Renovation
Whether it’s the charm of old buildings or functional preservation – renovations often present unique challenges for builders, craftsmen, and planners. Unlike new construction, they encounter complex conditions: old screeds, critical substrates, unforeseen damage, and varying construction heights. This is where UZIN Renoplan® comes in – innovative and perfectly coordinated systems for safe and economical renovation.
WHAT LIES BENEATH THE SURFACE? THE CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RENOVATION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION
While new construction is fully planned – from the substrate to the final joint – renovation often means working with the unknown. Beneath worn floor coverings or decades-old screeds lie surprises: cracks, moisture, loose layers, or inadequate old substrates. Our creators share their practical experiences – with a wink, but also with genuine respect for the challenge. Because in renovation, every detail that may not be immediately visible matters. That’s why clever system solutions like UZIN Renoplan® are essential; they respond flexibly to unpredictable situations and enable reliable substrate renovation – without compromising on quality or scheduling.
The hidden secrets beneath the floor are often uncertain
Without X-Ray Vision – Renovation means working in uncertainty
We don't have X-ray vision,” says Maximilian Romoser from Romoser Raumgestaltung, highlighting the biggest challenge of old building renovations. Beneath the existing floor covering often lies the unknown: What type of screed is underneath? What condition is it in? And even more importantly – what adhesive was used previously that I now need to grind off? All these questions can only be clarified once the construction site is already in progress. In contrast to new construction, where the materials being used are clear from the start, renovation requires a high degree of flexibility, experience, and reliable system solutions. UZIN Renoplan® is specifically designed for this purpose – to enable professional results, even when the substrate initially remains a mystery.
It’s Like Playing the Lottery – Roman Romanenko on the Reality of the Construction Site
For Roman Romanenko from Parkett.at, every renovation is like a game of chance: 'You never know what’s really happening beneath the floor.' Especially in old buildings with existing parquet, the condition of the screed is often unclear – does it have cracks, is it still load-bearing, or does it need to be completely renovated? Even when sanding down old coverings, the question arises: How will the floor react? Does it still have the necessary adhesion, or will it come loose? Such uncertainties highlight why well-thought-out systems like UZIN Renoplan® are essential to work professionally and safely under challenging conditions.
Calculability vs. reality – Robert Nakielski Discusses Inspection Duties and Screed Issues
For Robert Nakielski from Bodenständig Parkett, the difference is crystal clear: 'In new construction, I can calculate precisely – I know what to expect.' The inspection obligations are manageable, the screed is known, and the setup is planned. In contrast, with renovations, he replaces the visible surface covering, but what lies beneath remains uncertain at first. What type of screed is present? Is it load-bearing, or does it need to be removed? This is where the challenge begins. To navigate these uncertainties safely, Robert relies on the expertise of UZIN application technicians: 'I bring in the experts to find the optimal solution.' With UZIN Renoplan®, there is a system available specifically designed for such situations – flexible, secure, and proven in practice.
Renovating with vision - sustainable trends in existing buildings
Modern renovations are more than just preserving the substance - they are an upgrade for the future. Sustainability plays a key role here: existing screeds are not simply replaced, but preserved and renovated in a resource-saving manner. A growing trend is the subsequent milling of underfloor heating systems into existing screeds - efficiently, conveniently and without having to completely dismantle the floor. Such solutions require intelligent substrate renovation that is precisely tailored to the conditions on site. UZIN Renoplan® provides the right system for this - sustainable, innovative and perfect for today's requirements.
Sustainable heating
For Robert Nakielski, it is clear: The trend is moving towards sustainable retrofitting – especially with underfloor heating. Instead of removing entire screeds, today’s approach involves efficiently milling into the existing floor. This saves materials, time, and is environmentally friendly. Of course, a load-bearing, well-prepared screed is a prerequisite – and this is where UZIN Renoplan® comes into play. The system provides exactly the foundation that such innovative solutions require.
Circularity is the key to the future
For Maximilian Romoser, sustainability is much more than a trend – it is becoming the standard in renovation. Especially important are circular materials that can later be separated by type and reintroduced into the material cycle. Whether it’s adhesives, leveling compounds, or coverings – every layer counts. Systems like UZIN Renoplan® assist in building from the outset with deconstruction and reuse in mind.
