Refreshingly different City Hotel Merano

Holiday in Merano usually means tradition, thermal areas, villas and not necessarily modernity, but this is exactly what distinguishes the City Hotel Merano, which opened in 2013. Torggler products played an important role in the construction of the city hotel.

Balconies, terraces and bathrooms were waterproofed with the cementitious mortar Flexistar. Flexistar is a single-component, prefabricated, elastic cementitious waterproofing mortar and corresponds to type C of the PI, MC, IR principles according to EN 1504-2, is also classified for flexible waterproofing before laying ceramic coverings according to EN 1504-9 and corresponds to type CM P according to EN 14891 for its impermeability, its resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and its excellent resistance to weathering, even at low temperatures. Due to these particular characteristics, Flexistar was used for waterproofing the entire exterior area of the City Hotel Merano.

The adhesive mortar used is Tile 480, which is also characterised by its performance, high resistance and deformability. In the City Hotel, Tile 480 was applied for the laying of ceramic elements, indoors and outdoors, on wall and floor coverings. The adhesive mortar is certified as C2 TE S1 according to EN 12004. Tile Grout 2-15 mm was used for grouting. A one-component, flexible and cementitious tile grout type CG2 WA for joints from 2 to 15 mm. For the subsequent elastic joint sealing, the clients chose Torggler’s Silicone Sealant Universal. Universal is ideal for sealing joints in sanitary areas such as bathrooms, swimming pools, basins, etc., as it is highly resistant to mould. Universal was also used to seal the expansion joints in the exterior of the hotel complex. Tile Grout 2-15 mm and Universal silicone sealant are available in the same 16 colours and can therefore be used together without problems.

Low emissions from the individual products are important for indoor applications. All Torggler products used in the City Hotel Merano have been certified as EC1 Plus by the GEV.

We at Torggler are happy to be a part of the City Hotel and wish all the guests a good time in Merano.
