Sikagard®-706 W Thixo was applied to the old concrete of the silos as a protective coating and water-repellent impregnation. The external facade of the old silo was covered in Sika® Ferrogard®-903.
For the main Museum building, concrete barriers were grouted sturdily in place with SikaGrout®-212. Sikaflex® AT-Facade sealant was the most effective solution to seal the joints. SikaTop® Armatec®-110 EpoCem® provided an effective anticorrosion coating on reinforcing steel before epoxy applications for new concrete adhesion against old concrete. Sikadur®-31 CF Normal was used for doweling on site of the rebar. The roof top was coated in Sikalastic®-8800. The entire face of the square building in front of the silos was coated with Sikalastic®-152.
The staircase and landings of the building were coated with Sikafloor®-263 SL, Sikafloor®-264 and Sikafloor® 66 ZA matt used as a top coat. The main timber floor running throughout the museum was coated with Sika Comfortfloor®.
