Modern sliding roof windows for the historic Sphinxkwartier: the first 7 windows have been installed!

The Sphinxkwartier in Maastricht is one of the most exciting revitalization projects in the region. As an anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage, the neighborhood combines industrial history with modern living and working spaces. We are delighted to be part of this transformation and to make a significant contribution to the energy-efficient renovation and modernization of this iconic industrial building with our OpenAir two-part sliding roof windows.

Installation of the first 7 sliding roof windows completed

Following successful manufacturing and shipment, the first 7 of a total of 21 sliding roof windows are now on site and have been professionally installed as part of the construction project. With an impressive size of 3 x 6 m (width x height) and featuring just two panes of glass, they allow for maximum natural light, improve indoor air quality, and create a harmonious connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

Special feature: The delicate, decorative muntins on the glass emphasize the building’s historic character and blend seamlessly into the overall architectural design.

Thanks to our experienced installation team, the installation went as smoothly as ever. The sliding roof windows were integrated into the existing structure with the utmost precision to preserve the architectural aesthetics.

The result: a light-filled atmosphere that highlights the industrial charm of the Sphinx district while enhancing comfort for both living and working.
