Extensive Renovation with Premax®+ Thresholds
In Oosterhout, in the Slotjes Oost and Oosterheide neighborhoods, 363 flat-roof homes have been renovated. This large-scale renovation, commissioned by Thuisvester and in collaboration with Ballast Nedam and Driessens, started a year ago. Holonite has supplied Premax®+ low-relief thresholds for this project, which contribute to a better insulated and more energy-efficient home.
With this extensive renovation, Thuisvester aimed to improve the overall quality of the homes. The objective was to address draft and moisture issues and make the homes more energy-efficient. Additionally, the housing association wanted to give the homes a new look, making the neighborhoods appear fresher and more contemporary. To involve residents in the renovation, a sounding board group was established and a living experience survey was conducted.
The Renovation
A maintenance intervention of this scale is enormous. The two neighborhoods have completely changed. Among other things, 92 new extensions were built, 1,235 exterior doors were installed, 2,178 windows were placed, and over 29,000 m2 of insulation was integrated into the facade.
Premax®+ thresholds are lightweight and quick and easy to install
Holonite contributed to this project with Premax®+ low-relief thresholds. The thresholds are made from a new lightweight mixture. The renewed mixture, enriched with high-tech fillers, provides the thresholds with insulating properties. The + thresholds are, compared to the standard Premax® thresholds, much lighter. The final result amounts to about 40% weight reduction per threshold. Other advantages of this product optimization include quick and easy installation and improved scratch resistance. Holonite products are sustainable and Cradle to Cradle certified, fully aligning with the objectives of this renovation to address draft and moisture issues and make homes more energy-efficient.
