More possibilities with FINEO. FINEO fulfills any project need, from restoration requirements to new construction performances.
Oude Molstraat is one of the oldest historic streets in The Hague. Here you will find this charming house typical of the Hofkwartier neighbourhood. FINEO vacuum glazing was chosen for its renovation due to its exceptional and sustainable characteristics. As thin as single glazing, it could be easily integrated into the original old wooden frames. As efficient as triple glazing, it provides this building with exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation. Thanks to FINEO, this listed building now enjoys increased comfort and lower energy bills, while retaining its authentic charm.
For this project, FINEO Hybrid was used to reach unprecedent performances in terms of thermal insulation and acoustic. Belliard street is a highly frequented road, leading to unpleasant noise pollution. Thanks to FINEO Hybrid, it was possible to achieve very high acoustical attenuation in a limited thickness, allowing to increase the space inside the building.
In Brussels' Jubelpark/Parc du Cinquantenaire, FINEO by AGC contributed to the restoration of the façade of the Aviation Hall of the Royal Military Museum, home to a unique collection of historic aircrafts. Together with the Buildings agency (building owner and architect), the restoration expert Monument Van de Kerckhove and Laeremans Geert nv (welding and steel construction), this collaboration helped preserve one of the most remarkable steel-and-glass structures in the country. The vast glass façades, the refined steel structures and the monumental scale make this project a truly exceptional feat of heritage conservation. Restoring an iconic building means more than simply repairing the wear of time. It means preserving the soul of the building while preparing it for the future through energy-efficient upgrades. The glazing in the arch-shaped façade of the Aviation Hall was therefore replaced with FINEO vacuum insulating glazing. Certified FINEO installer Laeremans Geert nv installed FINEO Heritage Classic 8 into the steel frames of this historic glass façade. FINEO Heritage is FINEO's restoration glass suitable for restoring and preserving the visual appearance of glass installed in buildings built from the 1880s through to the 1960s. This uniquely slim monumental insulating glazing (only 11 mm thick in the Classic 8 version) fits perfectly into characteristic single-glazed windows or façades, preserving the original appearance of historic buildings and homes while significantly improving thermal and acoustic insulation.
