Predikherenklooster Mechelen

Impressive rooms with excellent rest quality 

In diesem hohen Raum sorgen die LIGNO® Echtholzakustikelemente an den Giebelseiten, sowie an der Galeriebrüstung nicht nur für angemessene Ruhequalität, sondern mit ihrer gleichmäßigen Profilierung auch für visuelle Entspannung.
In den Fluren des Klosters wurden die LIGNO® Akustikelemente in Eiche als Wandverkleidungen und für den Bau umlaufender Sitz- und Lesebänke verwendet.
Im Flur wird die gekonnte Verbindung von alt und neu besonders schön deutlich. Die Verkleidung der Lesebänke in fein profilierter Eiche von Lignotrend wirkt als warmer Kontrast zu den arkadenartigen Steinsäulen die den Flur säumen.

The Predikherenklooster Mechelen, dating from 1650, has an eventful history. In 2010 the city decided to restore the baroque building and use it as a library. The traces of past times were to be consciously preserved, additions and conversions were to remain visible. The new interior and the wall panelling in oak wood also fit so harmoniously into the existing building that old and new can coexist equally.

    Profile


    The visible layer is profiled with joints. The code for profiling indicates in millimetres: Element width, strip width (rounded, from/to if applicable) and joint width (rounded) as well as a letter identification for variants, e.g. with chamfered strip edges or with additional height gradation. 

    Note: Some profiles indirectly cause exclusions for other configuration options.
