RESTORATION WORKS ARE UNDERWAY AT THE FILIPPOV HOUSE

RSE “Kazrestoration” is carrying out scientific restoration works at the house of merchant Nikolai Filippov, located in Almaty. The restoration of the building, constructed in 1901, is being carried out while preserving its historical and architectural appearance.

During the works, damaged and detached plaster on the building’s façades is being removed, after which the surfaces will be replastered. At present, the wooden cornices and window surrounds are being carefully cleaned, and damaged sections are being restored. The 46 windows installed in the house are also undergoing treatment. After treatment, the wooden elements will be coated with protective varnish.

The roof of the house will be restored at a later stage. The unusable metal roofing will be removed, and damaged sections of the wooden structure will be replaced. A waterproofing layer will be installed to prevent water penetration, and drainage systems will be installed.

The metal elements of the basement level will be renewed, while the historic entrance staircase and canopy will also be restored. The decorative metal elements will be painted, and the protective coating of the wooden elements will be renewed.

In the 301-square-metre building, the old layers of finish on the interior walls and ceilings have been removed. The surfaces will then be repainted. The doors will be repaired, with individual elements replaced where necessary. In addition, the flooring will be renewed, while the electrical and heating systems will be fully brought into proper working order.

The scientific restoration works at the Filippov House are being carried out according to plan. RSE “Kazrestoration” will complete the restoration works within the established timeframe.
