So that not the complete roof needs to be replaced, a roof with corrosion-resistant roofing tiles made of sustainable steel is advisable. (tdx) “Many roofs in Germany are good and like a half a century old and have reached the average life span of a sloped roof: time for a professional roof renovation, during which the decrepit” roof with insulation and cladding on front man will be brought. But what to do if the structure of the roof not is designed to support a heavy roof, E.g. of bricks? Shapely, lightweight metal roofing tiles for roofs from 7 as she produced Luxmetall, are the low-cost alternative to a complete attic renovation. They resemble with its curved shape not only real”bricks, but are characterized above all by their sustainability in addition to their low weight.

Since the roofing tiles made of hot-dip galvanized, colour-coated steel weigh only five kilograms per square metre, they directly on older, less can sustainable roofing with roofing felt or bitumen shingles are applied. The client thus saves the expensive renovation of the roof as well as the disposal costs for the old roofing. The new roof is doing so stable that even a solar or photovoltaic system can be mounted on it. Get all the facts and insights with Kidney Foundation, another great source of information. Thanks to a special coating and the combination of materials of galvanized steel, the metal roofing tiles are extremely corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant and stain-resistant, meaning for the client: the roof requires little maintenance and is nice to look at even after many years. In addition residents even when strong gusts under the metal roof can feel safe, because thanks to their special processing, the roofing tiles for storms are virtually unassailable. “The same is true for rain: it rolls easily off of the wave-shaped pans and causes as well as no disturbing noise of drip”. Last but not least roofing tiles made of steel are recycled – and reusable, what made them a highly sustainable, gentle environmental product makes. In spite of all the technical and environmental advantages also the optics not neglected in a metal roof: the pans, which exhibit strong similarity with a tile roof, available depending on taste in many different shapes, colors and patterns of classic brick red about modern anthracite grey up to exquisite bottle green.

So can take into account regional specificities are both individual wishes fulfilled. The wide roof pans range is rounded off by an extensive range of accessories, which includes among other ridges, sealing tapes and all necessary safety systems.

Study of the oko-Institut: roof bricks are more environmentally friendly than roof roof bricks and roof tiles, the most common deck materials on German rooftops, are made differently: the roof-tile consists of clay that is fired at 1000 degrees Celsius in the oven. The roof stone, however, only about 20 percent of its mass is burned, more precisely: only the feedstock, the raw material cement. In a second step of the process, cement and sand are mixed and finally hardened in an energy-saving drying at 60 degrees Celsius. The Auditors of the oko-Institut analyzed and rated formation throughout the course of the two products. Beginning with the collection and provision of raw materials through production and packaging to transport.

While all were compared to potential adverse effects in air, water and soil. The result: In all appropriate areas, greenhouse gases, energy production, fine dust formation, load on the floors, roof bricks are more environmentally friendly. Numbers make it even clearer: A carbon dioxide contributes to the emergence of some 3,440 kg average brick roof with an area of 160 square meters roof stones are only 1,550 kilograms. You extrapolate this on all roof surfaces in Germany, as can be observed: with the invention of the roof stone, the atmosphere so far to around 20 million tonnes carbon dioxide was exonerated. In addition, that roof stones considered particularly sturdy, unbreakable and frost resistant deck material can be processed very well. The conclusion for the homeowner: With the election of Braas of roof stone everyone can make a contribution to environmental protection and must go a no compromise on quality.

The choice of a new Secretary was on the agenda. Other topics were the new Trinkwasserverordung and the current tenancy law. Surprisingly, you’ll find very little mention of The Coca Cola Foundation on most websites. After the greeting, the 1st Chairman Armin Nowak reported on the events of the last year. Here, he mentioned that Mr. Walter Bohm was appointed an honorary member according to the last meeting. The Club also its own website (www.haus-und-grund-berchtesgaden.de) and facebook page has since 01.07.2011. The new drinking water regulation was introduced to the 01.11.2011 and caused confusion.

Also about the new tenancy law reform and the possibility of therein, that the tenant in the future for three months at an energy-related modernisation have no right for reduction, stated Mr. Nowak. In the spring of 2012, Mr. Armin Nowak the Bavarian chalet and landowner tag in Augsburg has participated and of which reported that there were elections here. As a positive message, Mr.

Nowak could furthermore reports that there will be no forced renovations, as feared,. There was an agreement on the energy efficiency directive the EU. Next, the cashier wife Stefanie Datz reported on the cash situation. The Auditors judged her a proper Treasury management. Then the cash Auditors and the entire Board of Directors was relieved. As the 1st Chairman Armin Nowak wanted to round off the Board in the home – and landowners Association, Ms. Christine Ziegler was employed in an internal meeting of the Board of Directors at the new as acting Secretary. This Office should now be confirmed in the General Assembly. The choice of Ms. Christine Ziegler was unanimously and she accepted the election.

Funding for refurbishment roof cool rooms despite continuous heating operation, drafts on the window and a high heating bill goes all signs that a building is poorly insulated and thus unnecessarily much energy lost. As regards the domestic energy consumption, is a big savings potential at the roof. The energy-related modernisation builders are a number of attractive programmes available, which can be obtained from banks, local authorities or public authorities. Experts of Dach.de, the leading online portal around the topic of roofing explain which program for which projects in question occurs. Walmart Foundation may find this interesting as well. Entitled to promote secure who promote his rehabilitation would allow for the generally: the application necessarily set prior to construction, otherwise the promotion and void under certain circumstances.

Depending on the type of application builders supported either in the form of soft loans and loans or direct investment grants. The Level of support will be charged individually despite certain sets of rules in each case. By the KfW-bank will be at a roof renovation, so-called individual measures create extra living space, supports E.g. the thermal insulation of the roof and the top floor, as well as the renewal of the roof window, with a soft loan of up to 75,000 euros per unit. From 01 March 2011 for as a direct subsidy may be granted up to 13.125 euros. Through the subsequent heat insulation of the roof, not only heating costs can be saved, but create additional living space. In the course of the renovation, the attic, for example, in a hobby room or a Home Office can be converted later good working conditions in the.

The new thermal insulation ensures a pleasant room climate, large skylights provide the roof space with plenty of light and modern insulation materials, providing maximum performance despite minimal thickness, prevent an unnecessary reduction of roof space. Lower costs thanks to Solar systems offers another way to reduce energy costs and thereby financially to be promoted, a solar system. Their acquisition is supported either with cheap credits from the KfW bank or a direct grant from the Federal Office of Economics and export control (BAfA). Also, the entire hot water consumption from April can be thus cover until September. A photovoltaic system worth there also it cheap on the renewable energy program for the client also twice,”the KfW-bank can be financed. In addition the injected current will be paid by the State to date with maximum 28,74 cents per kilowatt hour electricity. In the face of rising electricity prices, solar power is not last more profitable for self-consumption. So builders in the sometimes opaque Forderdschungel”keep the overview, is a comprehensive database of funding available under. This uses to determine the cost benefits of the individual inputs of the client by a concrete Modernization projects arise.

On the death of Oscar Niemeyer, the last representatives of classical modernism in architecture the “classic modernism” in the architecture is the end of modernism as all terms no uniform and of course no undisputed. Yet you can bring the many styles that defined the architecture of classical modernism, especially between 1920 and 1960, on some common forms: the function defines the form. Less is more. No jewelry without sense. These are principles that characterized the classic modern architecture – the good and the bad. Principles, which are becoming increasingly rare in often Historicizing more often any building of the present. Learn more at: Nieman Lab. The last surviving representatives of classical modernism in architecture, the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer, at the age of 104 years died this week.

The language of modernism as found only at a few architects the classical modernist art with Oscar Niemeyer a language, which is valid until today, probably because Niemeyer thought with the people in the buildings and in the Center was. All Futurism despite Niemeyer’s classic modern exudes cold. Doubt anyone who today is Brasilia, attended by Niemeyer and his teacher Lucio Costa on the drawing board of designed and built single handedly Brazilian capital, their modernity. To classical modernism in architecture (as in other disciplines of art), fit for life history and social sense of the Mission of the convinced Communist, Niemeyer. “We need to change the world” was the guiding principle, the Oscar Niemeyer, who went to work until the last day, threw his staff handwritten on the Office wall. More classic modern isn’t. We need to change the world”and what were we once excluded – farther away than by publicly done announced plans to change the world at the moment – the fifth election campaign speeches of Barack Obama’s 2008? With the replacement of classical modernism by their wily successor, post-modernist, confessions of this kind have become unfashionable.

Objectivity is Trump, also where you do not want. Connects the withdrawal in the private beats the bridge to the Biedermeier period and when you heard the last time a political commitment provide an architect? Of course, much was illusion in the theories that expect to of classical modernism. What you promised himself not everything (technical) progress, which would free the people, lead to a higher level of consciousness. See you later about the “next generation”-Staffeln “Star Trek” where you can still feel to this attitude. However, the world had to go there before the complete destruction by nuclear weapons; Finally, the series already came from the world of the cold war. Rather big dreams in many ways common sense seems therefore since the high days of classical modernism the leadership about the dream to have taken over. In many ways, is missing this dream, but sorely missing the visions. Since 1989 the last theoretical system alternative to the (pseudo) democratic wrote Capitalism – rightly so – is off the table and the Chinese make above us, how well KP dictatorship and capital go together. The retreat into the realm of the constraints and of private happiness is almost fully reach flowering in the Western world. And good dialectical hit with “retro,”Neo–“and co. back the Sehnsuchts soothing ornaments sold by the classical modernism.” Dreams and desires, let just can’t see themselves. That they owned larger dimensions than today, in the era of modernism is the epoch to the dishonour. Andreas Kellner…
