construction quality in Sollenau: Defects in the new kindergarten

In Sollau, the new kindergarten 2 causes a sensation after three window panes are broken unexpectedly. According to experts, the cause lies in a heat build -up that was created by using inner roller blind.

In 2023, kindergarten 2 in Sollenau was expanded to include a new building and the existing part was renovated. The ceremonial opening took place in time to the beginning of the kindergarten year. But a short time later, problems arose that were criticized by the ÖVP / Future Sollau. Stefan Danzinger, leader of the parliamentary group, speaks of moisture damage in autumn 2023 and current glass fractures on three windows in a new building, without external influence. These occurred on the east and south facade, where the most intense sunlight is, since outside roller blinds were apparently not installed.

The SPÖ and Mayor Stefan Wöckl defend the decision for the inner roller blind and emphasize that outside roller blinds were never planned. The criticism of the construction is dismissed as unfounded. A heat build -up is given as the reason for the glass fractures, which did not cause any problems in the old part of the kindergarten with inner roller blind.

The defective window panes were replaced at the expense of the construction company, and outdoor roller blinds were reordered to fix the problem of heat. The shortcomings in kindergarten 2 raise questions about construction quality and planning that should be avoided in the future. It remains to be seen whether further problems arise or whether the measures to remedy the construction defects are successful.
