“The barrel vaults installed allow a large span and thus bring in a sea of light.”
Picanol facility manager
The renovation of existing barrel vaults often brings with it limitations concerning dimensions. At Picanol, the challenge was immediately clear, as their facility manager explains: "Initially, we thought replacing our barrel vaults would be problematic. The 5.5 metre width is not an easily obtainable size. However, Cintralux quickly offered an appropriate solution using its PC 25 barrel vaults. This allowed us to retain the existing curbs, which helped with the budget."
Ventilation system suitable for large spans
For barrel vaults with a width of 1.5 to 4 metres, Cintralux generally opts for Cintramax as the opening element. As the maximum width is exceeded in this project, we chose a good alternative in the Monoflap: a 2 by 2 metres ventilation system perfectly suited to our PC 25 barrel vaults.
