Do you consider renovating a facade? Sometimes major maintenance is required to keep your facade in top condition or to make a building fireproof or to make it more sustainable. Renovating your exterior facade can also give a home or building a true upgrade. These example projects prove that you can give a building a beautiful new look with fireproof and durable Rockpanel board material.
There are various ways to renovate your facade. A good option to give your facade a completely new look quite easily, is to renovate your facade with board material. Especially if you want to insulate a building or house from the outside, applying external insulation combined with exterior cladding is a great option. If you then use firesafe insulation and facade boards made from stone wool, en gevelpanelen van steenwol, you solve two problems with one solution. Rockpanel cladding also provides full design freedom. The procust range includes not only all RAL / NCS colors, but also very authentic timber effect cladding, stone look cladding and cladding with a metallic appearance.

The external facade of Hotel Academie, located in the heart of Bruges, looks pretty different since it was renovated thoroughly. The Rockpanel Stones Mineral Chalk facade panels give the hotel a beautiful light and modern look. Previously, the owners experienced that their hotel, like many older buildings, became very hot in the summer. With the insulation of the outer wall, covered with facade cladding, this problem is a thing of the past.
The Betty-Greif-school in Germany needed to be entirely renovated and extended by 450 m². The durable and easy to maintain Rockpanel facade boards met all requirements. Architect Dietmar Wöhler: “The wide range of Rockpanel Colours was the deciding factor. It was the perfect alternative to our original plans and gave us complete freedom in the design. We were able to install the façade exactly as we wanted thanks to the wide range of colours and because Rockpanel is particularly easy to work with.”
On the twin apartment blocks Prospect House and Hicks House in London, Rockpanel Woods and Rockpanel Colours facade boards take the stage. A facade renovation was necessary to comply with the new fire safety rules in the United Kingdom. This means that all parts of the outer wall construction for buildings of 18 meters and higher must meet or exceed Euroclass A2-s1, d0. The facade panels are custom made to create a visually perfect match.
In Haarlem (the Netherlands), four gallery flats have undergone a major renovation. The new front facades are the most eye-catching feature of the renovated buildings. Architect Marc De Wilde: “Together with our client, we went in search of cladding material that would give the building a modern, unique look. When we came across Rockpanel Chameleon in the dealer showroom, we were sold on the spot: thanks to a clever crystal layer, you can actually see the facade change colour as you walk past it, with a different incidence light every time. No matter what the angle, you won't see the same thing twice. They give the building the exact modern look that is needed at this location.”
