At Kazan Cathedral in Volgograd, waterproofing and thermal insulation of the basement slab of the administrative building was carried out using Bronya TermoGidroPlast and Bronya AquaBlock Prism (photos, video)

The Kazan Cathedral in Volgograd, built in 1899, is one of the city's principal Orthodox churches. Designed in Russian-Byzantine style with distinctive domes and ornate facades, this active place of worship attracts both faithful parishioners and architecture enthusiasts. Over time, moisture damage to certain structural elements necessitated waterproofing and insulation work.
A critical issue involved leaks in the basement ceiling slab of the administrative building. The hollow core slab accumulated and transmitted water, leading to condensation, plaster deterioration, and mold growth.
Project Implementation:
Surface preparation: Removal of loose material, cleaning, and crack sealing
Priming: Application of Bronya AquaBlock Prism rubberized compound for optimal adhesion and enhanced waterproofing
Final coating: Two layers of Bronya Thermohydroplast, providing combined waterproofing and thermal insulation properties that both stopped leaks and reduced heat loss
The work was performed by our long-term partner, renowned Volgograd restoration architect Mikhail Yuryevich Oleynikov, who praised the material's easy application and exceptional performance (see video testimonial).The Kazan Cathedral in Volgograd, built in 1899, is one of the city's principal Orthodox churches.
