The company building was manufactured in the 1950’s. Eighteen northern lights were clad with wired glass. While the refurbishment of the building the most important was to integrate a smoke and heat evacuator with thermal emergency tripping device as well as a better heat insulation of factory workshop. Additionally the customer required the integration of a ventilation function control.

The company Martin Roth e. K. engineered on the basis of the requirement profile of the building owner a concept that fulfilled all job specifications. For rehabilitation of the wired glass constructions Rodeca panels of type 2550-10 in opal colour were used. With its U-value of approx. 0.87 (according to Din EN ISO 100077-2) the panels play a decisive role in enhancement of the building insulation.

The wired glass was removed and the aluminium framing system installed. Within only 20 working days all northern lights, with all-round area of more than 540m², have been glazed with Rodeca panels.

For the smoke heat and venting systems over all 36 Brakel lamellae fans were installed at fire protection relevant areas. The SHE-cylinder opens at 68°C, so that smoke and heat can exhaust naturally.
