Tissot, company specialized in cladding and tightness work and in charge of the roofing, water tightness and skylights work package has been in charge of renovating full sections of the roof, including the removal of existing vaults and installation of a dry – isolated and waterproofed – roof.
The new skylights are all equipped with a 20mm alveolar polycarbonate infills and 7 Pearl technology partitions which was chosen by the architects to enhance the living rooms with an aesthetic performance thanks to the microbeads sparkling effect but also to improve the Bluesteel RPT acoustic performance. All skylights are with thermal broken profiles and equipped with a sunshade screen.
