Picanol

  • Project developer Picanol
  • Monoflap ventilation

Picanol develops, manufactures and markets high-tech weaving machines. The roofs of the production site in Ieper were in need of a facelift, so Cintralux recommended high performance barrel vaults made to fit the existing curbs.

“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.
