    The edges of the Duripanel frames where sealed with Pro Clima Tescon Vana tape. This tape had been proven to remain airtight and sticking for at least 50 years when applied well.

    The glazing itself is AGC triple glazing that we optimized as function of orientation. U-values, g-values and LTA-values vary along the building.

    The large thickness of insulation requires the windows to be placed at least 15 cm out of the original wall. As airtightness is in the Foamglas, it was necessary to build a frame using an airtight material as well. This was achieved by Duripanel, a material produced by Etex.

    As some of the old brick-walls had to remain visible from the inside, the airtightness of the building envelope has to be assured from the outside. The placement of the windows in the insulation layer therefore required a specific design which was done in close collaboration with the architect Rob Mols, Reynaers Aluminium, Th!nk E and ISOPROC.
