– Building conservation is about doing as little as possible, preserving as much as possible and appreciating what is already there. It’s a sustainable way of managing buildings, and it doesn’t have to be expensive if you use the right methods,” says Jon Åhlund of Åhlund Byggnadsvård.
One of the most popular features is the window renovation demonstrations, an area where many people get useful tips for older houses or summer cottages.
