The Building

Building pre-intervention

Building post-intervention

Built in 1890, the hall of this Belgian heritage site was covered by an elegant standing seam zinc roof. This covering was removed in 1980 as it had become obsolete. The “temporary” solution was to protect the monument with roofing waterproofing. Unfortunately, this solution has been in place for 40 years, leading to condensation problems that are accelerating the deterioration of the halls.

What is the Solution?

Unfortunately, previous solution has been in place for 40 years, leading to condensation problems that are accelerating the deterioration of the halls. Thanks to Zinclike (BIPV solution) we were able to restore the original aesthetics of the visible zinc roof while integrating the modernity of a photovoltaic system.

Why Does it work?

The integration of PV modules into this historic industrial building is made possible thanks to aesthetic anodised aluminium profile that reproduces the appearance of a standing seam or slatted zinc roof.
