Imatra has distinctive and uniform front-line housing areas built in the 1940s and 1950s, where the typical residential building is a 1½-story clapboard or plastered single-family house.
Over time, the houses have been changed and repaired with extensions and cladding that are not suitable for the buildings. We wanted to make changes in accordance with our own preferences and prevailing fashion trends.
Façade changes have been found to be unsustainable and often inconvenient for the new owner. The lifespan of facade changes is several decades, owners change and fashion trends change.
Preserving the original appearance of front-line houses' facades is a long-lasting foundation for buildings.
The zoning of Imatra's technical work in cooperation with building control has drawn up construction method instructions for front-line men's houses to complement the site plan regulations. The Environmental and Building Control Board has approved the guideline on November 11.11.2008, XNUMX.
The instructions are suitable for use in all detached houses built in the 1940s-1950s.
