Renovation of monuments requires extra attention

28 June 2024

Renovating buildings involves a lot. Especially if it is also a monumental building, such as the Tramremise on Lekstraat Amsterdam from 1927. Now still in use by the @GVB streetcar company.

A total of approximately 10,000 m2 of roof renovated with so-called Duplicor® replica "Bims concrete elements." The Duplicor® replica elements have been approved by historic preservation authorities and look exactly like the original concrete elements in shape, color and texture.

The only difference is....
The Duplicor® elements weigh only one-fifth of the weight of the concrete version! In addition, they provide a thermal insulation value (RC 2.5) that was lacking in the original concrete elements. Due to the enormous weight savings, the original (slender) rafter structure of the roof can be retained without the need for modifications. The Duplicor® roof elements are also so lightweight that they can be assembled from the inside with a small crane.

A great job where all the benefits of Duplicor® are again reflected:
- Biobased
- Lightweight
- Formability
- Fire resistance
- High thermal insulation value
