The Alsatian branch of Architecture du Bois- terraces grad™ has just finishedbuilding an extraordinary project.
The project is the refurbishment of the exterior decking and the outdoor areaof the cafeteria of a major European institution in Luxembourg City

In addition, the structure had to be suitablefor public use (overload 500kg / m2) and in some points be strong enough toallow the circulation of window cleaning vehicles.
The expert concluded that the company grad ™, with its famous fasteningsystem, the JuAn® clip offered the most benefits and guarantees.Totally invisible, the JuAn® clip also allows to maintain space between theboards and the structure and thus, ensures optimal ventilation of this sensitivearea of the terrace.
