Your project in the canton of Glarus
The canton of Glarus occupies a narrow alpine valley framed by peaks, where the Linth flows down towards Lake Walen. The main town, Glarus, was largely rebuilt in the nineteenth century and has a regular street plan with stone buildings. Näfels and Mollis, to the north, feature mansions and residential districts, while Schwanden and Linthal, further up, retain former textile workers' housing. The mountain climate, with snow and the föhn wind, influences the choice of materials and the timing of outdoor work. The canton is German-speaking, but a request in English is entirely possible. For an old building or a change visible from the street, contact your municipality. Add the village or town and postcode, distinguishing the valley road from narrower routes to your building.
- In the upper valley, say whether the access road is affected by snow or closures.
- For a former worker's house, describe the condition of the roof and exterior walls.
- If your house is exposed to the föhn, mention it for any work on the roof or shutters.
Insulation work in the canton of Glarus
In the canton of Glarus, deep valleys and long winters make insulating homes particularly worthwhile. In Glarus, the main town rebuilt after its great fire lines up masonry buildings with regular façades, which are mainly improved from the loft or the inside to keep their appearance. Around Näfels and Mollis, mansions and recent villas benefit from external insulation well connected to the windows. Higher up towards Linthal, timber houses and old farmhouses get little sunshine in winter, which makes every insulation gain noticeable. The former workers' houses of the spinning mills also lend themselves to careful renovation. Your Glarus municipality will advise you on façades to be preserved.
- In a house with little winter sun, insulate the roof and the ground floor first, two surfaces where heat escapes quickly.
- For a former workers' house, ask for a moisture survey of the walls before choosing between internal and external insulation.

Frequently asked questions
What information should I send for an insulation project in Glarus?
State the type of building, its age and which parts you want to insulate, such as the roof, walls or floor. Add photos and, if available, an energy report or plans of the house. This helps the company assess the options and plan a visit.
Why should moisture be assessed before insulation is added?
Existing dampness, air leakage and the proposed layer arrangement affect how an insulated construction behaves. Covering a problem does not establish its cause. Ask for an assessment of the relevant building element and the treatment of joints, ventilation and moisture before work proceeds.
What should I compare in insulation specialist quotes?
Compare the insulated area, material, thickness and treatment of interfaces. Clarify removal of existing finishes, scaffolding and reinstatement. Ask how windows, services or adjoining construction are handled, and which supporting assessment or documentation is included for the proposed system.
How should I prepare for the insulation specialist visit or work?
Gather available plans, energy reports and photographs of damp or damaged areas. Explain which rooms remain occupied and whether external access is restricted. Do not remove suspect old materials yourself; agree any inspection and preparatory work before insulation is installed.
