ISOVER provides insulation solutions to bring this collective housing up to modern standards in Antwerpen. The renovation took place over a time of 2 years, and the result was excellent thermal performance thanks to a new insulating layer of mineral wool for the facades and an even thicker layer for the roof.
The building, conceived in the 1970s, was a catalog of technical problems: humidity from water infiltration, absence of thermal and acoustic insulation… It quickly became difficult to find renters; indeed, only those with the most modest revenues turned to these low quality flats. A certain number of problems (vandalism, a reputation as an unsafe place) were accentuated by the total absence of commerce in the immediate area.
