Rediscovering Timeless Quality
In 2000, Limeparts-Drooghmans installed an aluminum façade on a building in Hasselt, which was then occupied by toy retailer Fun. Twenty years later, the situation changed: the business ceased operations, leaving the building vacant. The façade, once sleek and modern, now appeared somewhat dated. For the owner, the need for action was clear—something had to be done to make the property attractive and future-proof again. But why start from scratch when the existing structure still holds so much potential?

A Second Life for a Façade: Sustainable Reuse

From Old Façade to Stunning Showpiece

Together with the property owner, we opted for a sustainable solution: 100% reuse of the original façade cladding. Each aluminum panel was carefully dismantled and transported to our workshop, where our experts performed a thorough transformation. The panels were completely recoated and prepared for reinstallation. The result is a façade that looks brand new while delivering a powerful message: quality doesn’t need to be replaced—it can be perfectly revitalized with the right expertise.

Sustainability Without Compromise

What makes this project exceptional is that we managed to give the building a complete makeover without consuming additional raw materials. The aluminum—a material perfectly suited for reuse—was given a second life. This isn’t just an environmentally friendly choice; it also demonstrates that sustainability goes hand in hand with economic efficiency and aesthetic excellence. The building is ready for the future, without generating unnecessary waste.

A Circular Future Starts Here

This project is a prime example of what Limeparts-Drooghmans strives to achieve: smart, circular solutions that go beyond traditional methods. In a world where the pressure on resources and the environment is increasing, we show that reuse is not only possible but also offers economic and aesthetic benefits.
