Colour concept for the object
The building before. Bavarian Radio, Freimann, Munich
In times of steadily rising energy costs, thermal insulation composite systems are a good investment
offering significant benefits. It is not just about your
pocket book, you also achieve a permanently cosy
and balanced living atmosphere.
In winter, there is a higher temperature across the
surface of the walls without the annoying draughts.
In summer the rooms are comfortably cool.
The Russbach team would be happy to advise you
how, through the use of thermal insulation systems
you can make your buildings more economical, raise
their value and due to their lower energy needs, help
our environment.
We recommend a full thermal insulation for the complete building. Walls and ceilings that are especially
permeable we would insulate individually.
Apart from its functional value, the thermal insulation system of today also offers many possibilities to
design façades with various structures and colour
combinations.
Saving costs
The building afterwards. Bavarian Radio, Freimann, Munich
The design of the façade of the Bavarian Radio’s
administration building was planned and carried out
by the Russbach GmbH. The broadcast company has
entrusted us, over the years, with the implementation of various building projects
We can offer you a complete packet for project consultancy, planning and technical realisation.

can offer you a conscientious survey and an optimal
repair of the structure of external façades. We are also
happy to take on the protection and the preservation
of historical monuments, or if necessary to pass it on
to partners. You can always rely on Russbach quality.

For special challenges
Continuous and Special Projects
For larger companies and for local authorities we
can offer annual contracts for permanent improvements to their buildings. This means you can always
rely on an expert who knows your object in detail.
In addition to the regular activities in outdoor and
indoor areas we can also undertake special tasks, like
for example the painting and protection of unusual
objects and machines. Ask us about your project and
we can find a solution together.

High tech for the wall
Of course we can advise you extensively about the
choice of suitable exterior paints. We are familiar with
the most recent developments and innovations and
work with the newest machines, materials and techniques. For example, in applying paint internally or
externally, we can offer you the new mist free spray
technique. We make use of the advantages of the
membrane pump technique, a heated high pressure
pipe and a special double spray nozzle. This causes
less environmental pollution, gives a precise and
consistent colour covering and allows for a more
ergonomic operation.
come in to play through their bonding with the elements Titanium, Aluminium, Zinc, Silver or Iron. In
this way paints can be used that are similar to the
surface structure of the lotus blossom which allows
water drops to form in “pearls” and causes dirt to run
off. Unpleasant soiling through graffiti or the like can
be relatively easily removed.
Another form of self cleaning functions through
photo catalytic active substances. We use these to
remove clinging items like fat, dirt, algae and bacteria, as well as olfactory and harmful substances like
nicotine.
The latest trends in paint development also include
the nano technology whereby nano sized particles

Catalysis for clean façades
Alkaline mineral paints with a high level of water
porosity improve room hygiene through their anti

To counter vandalism we can offer an extremely
robust carbon paint which has an enormous resistance to impacts.
Special plastic-elastic paints which are strengthened
with fibres and are self expanding are especially
good for repairing cracks.
And even under the most adverse conditions, like
permanent cold temperatures, we can supply the
correct paint for your project.

Feeling comfortable is in!
Creating an ambience
Colours, textures and surfaces have an effect on our
feelings and well being as well as our health and
quality of life. Whether a room appears oppressive
or friendly, small or large, depends mainly on the
colours and materials used. Accordingly we can offer
you individual advice from colour combinations to
fabric wallpapers. You can create your own specific
atmospheres with colours and structures, and with
surfaces and lighting, undreamed of accents. We can
show you what has been hidden in your rooms, up
to now!

Aligned to your special needs, the
paints that we use offer a special
protection from:
 Pollutants
 Bacteria
 Electro smog
 Allergen
 Smells

Paints with savvy
Functional paints
Precisely for sensitive areas like children‘s’ rooms
and sleeping areas it is recommended to use silicate
paints. They don’t contain any preservatives, solvents
or plasticisers. Sensitive persons, like those with allergies, can happily live in such rooms. In addition, the
high porosity of silicate paints can also prevent the
formation of mildew caused by moist surfaces. The
resulting regulation of the moisture in the air also
contributes to a better room atmosphere.
With electro smog we can also offer you help, with a
special paint which dampens electromagnetic rays.
If needed, we can also apply latex
paints. These are washable and
even stand up to disinfectants. As
you would expect, these are ideal
for the use in large kitchens, hospitals or hotel rooms.
For children‘s rooms lick-able
“Children‘s paints” are especially
suitable.
Thanks to many years of experience with all the major products
on the market we can offer you
the correct paint!
Our paint selection:
 Free of solvents
 Free of plasticisers
 Free of preservatives
 Suitable for allergic
persons
 Lick proof
Such a climate, in order to feel well inside
How we feel in our rooms is also dependent on
the chemical constituents of the paints. We spend
80 per cent of our time indoors and it is good to
know that the paints used are low in pollutants,
not harmful to health and do not burden the environment. We have a wide choice of harmless, solvent free and low emission quality paints.
In addition to our company being certified, our
products are also subject to strict controls from
not only by the manufacturers but also from independent institutions like the German TÜV. In addition we prefer to choose environmentally friendly
products with the Blue Angel logo.

Variety for the indoors area
Wallpapers
Unusual patterns, various materials and
photo or textile wallpapers enable a very
special composition for your rooms. Here
again we can offer you a large choice and
help you with your project, from the first
consultancy to the actual wallpapering.
14
Stucco
Besides the colour composition, we can
also carry out your wishes in respect to
more graphical forms of walls and ceilings.
Stucco gives a room individuality and a certain flair. The possibilities range from individual elements like columns or fireplaces
to complete walls and ceilings.
Stencil techniques
The stencil technique is an effective way to
transfer borders and individual ornaments
to walls and ceilings. Creativity here has no
limits. The variations range from antique
shapes to geometric patterns to floral
motifs.
Spatula techniques
Through the use of special palette knife
techniques it is possible, for example with
original stucco or venetian marble, to
reproduce the appearance of professional
marble. We would be happy to advise you
how we can, at low cost, bring the magical
Mediterranean flair in to your rooms.
Variety for the indoors area
Surfaces with a metallic effect
Surfaces with a metallic effect are very special eye catchers. Together with yourself we
can plan new highlights for your rooms.
You would be surprised just what is possible.
Le Corbusier colours
The return to natural colour atmospheres
and secret artistic mixtures gave us a palette of velvet soft and expressive colour
nuances which can be translated into timeless and harmonic concepts of colour. Natural colours have arisen from these individual and combined pigments.
Varnishing or Laquering
Varnishing is the art of applying a very thin
coat to surfaces. In this way it is possible to
provide various materials with a high gloss
finish causing playful highlights in the
room. At the same time this special finishing coat of paint provides a permanent protection against external causes.
Fire protection coating
In many buildings, partly to do with the
legal requirements, it is necessary to have
fire protection paint. As soon as a particular
temperature is exceeded the paint foams
on its own and isolates the object from the
heat of the fire. Some fire protection coatings can protect for longer than an hour.
Protection is categorised according to the
length of protection as T 30, T 50, T 90.
15
Your room will grow ears
The volume and function of a room are decisive in the
arrangement of its acoustic systems. DIN 18 041 defines
four main purposes: Music, Speech, Education and Sport.
The most suitable audio system is then selected. We can
advise you what reverberation time your room should
have according to its size and use.
Seating plan for the auditorium
Whether we actually feel comfortable in a room
depends, partly on the optics and the smell, but definitely on the acoustics. Hearing is the interpretation
of sound waves that often reach our ears in great
diversity and frequency. All sound waves are continually meeting with obstructions like furniture, walls
and ceilings where they are reflected. Appropriately
multiplied, the reflections come back to our ears. The
composition of the walls and the ceilings, the height
of the room and its shape together with the spread
of the sound field all have a large effect. The resulting
reverberation which can be caused by an increase in
sound level can be felt to be very uncomfortable.

Less echo – more output
Sound affects our central nervous system directly.
Loudness, frequency and the quantity of sound
sources have a direct affect on our feelings and our
ability to concentrate. Which is why, in auditoriums
and other mostly large rooms in which concentration
is required, optimal acoustics are the best precondition for effective employment and enjoyment.
The formula Short echo = Better concentration =
More performance can be profitably put to work in
your project, too.
Staircase, Bavarian International School, Munich.
17
Definitely better
For complex buildings where architectural accents
are set and where an effective working atmosphere
is needed, an exact planning of the building acoustics is essential.
18
To reduce the echoes and improve the acoustics of
your building, our Paint and Acoustics specialists
have access to a large portfolio of different systems
from which they can choose the best for your needs.
The working conditions in buildings, where high
concentration and performance are required, can be
greatly improved. For example: Through the mounting of a complete, acoustic ceiling or wall system that
effectively guarantees a high sound absorption level.

The solution for your acoustics problems...
In exhibition halls, airport terminals and in other
large crowd pullers, thousands of people are on the
move, day by day. Inevitably they generate a lot of
noise.
For the visitors of such huge halls to be able to take
advantage of good acoustics, the company Russbach
also offers capacity for large projects. Whether it is a

Special acoustic solutions
Also for extensions, reconstruction and
renovation
Even retrospectively, it is possible to build
acoustic systems in to damp rooms or small
recesses. For large walls and ceilings a
sprayed render is especially good. We, as a
specialist firm, guarantee the effectiveness
of the acoustics after the renovation work
is completed.

Retroactive acoustics made easy
The new Melapor system, made of hi tech
plastic, has very good sound absorption
qualities and can be easily integrated in to
any room concept. Whether hanging elements, panels or even pictures that have
been transferred with digital techniques to
the boards, almost anything is possible to
permanently improve the room acoustics.
The system is especially noted for its ease
of use and wide range of colours.
The clever alternative
Acoustic sails and sound absorbing wallpapers are a particularly easy way to retrofit
your room with better acoustics. For example the StoSilent Modular Ceiling Sail is very
flexible as to its size and place of attachment. It is especially good where a local
improvement is needed or where the form
of the building does not allow a complete
coverage. Repositioning or extending the
ceiling sail and the integration of lighting
present no problems.
Flexible temperature control
Cool and warm ceilings even have a double
function. With them we can arrange to have
simultaneously, ideal temperatures and
perfect acoustics in your rooms.
The Russbach Acoustic Specialist company
can advise you comprehensively about the
wide range of acoustic systems available.
We can also produce the optimum solution
for your already existent projects.
Acoustics, also for outdoors
We can supply noise absorption systems for outside
areas like multi storey car parks, airports, tunnels or
delivery, so improving their acoustics. The special
absorption material is made of sintered foam glass
and can be quickly and easily applied using glues.
The lightweight acoustic boards, PhoneSTOP, can be
used in and outdoors and are easy to work with. The
boards are pure recycling items, crush resistant and
stand up to temperatures of up to 540°C.
We can give you individual advice about the possibilities of noise reduction with acoustic systems
attached to your façade.

Keeping dry
Humid rooms
Ceiling and wall constructions, like those found in
swimming baths or in industrial wet areas like breweries, are extremely burdened by the high levels of
moisture and the extreme temperature differences
between internal and external air masses. These
steam pressure gradients cause condensed water
to penetrate the construction, causing heat loss and
leading to considerable damage to the building. To
prevent this transportation of the moisture, the ceilings and walls can be coated on the inside with a
seamless vapour barrier.
Charles Hotel, Munich
Charles Hotel, Munich
The wet room sprayed render takes up all the condensed water, stores it and gives it back later in to the
room atmosphere. If necessary, insulating boards can
simultaneously provide both a moisture barrier and a
thermal insulation. And to finish it all off, the acoustic
render can also optimise the reverberation time.
Complete relaxation
We make sure that you and your guests can enjoy
your free time to the utmost. With the detailed planning and the specialist execution we can offer you
the optimum solution for your damp room in respect
to moisture control, heat insulation, acoustics and
design.
