Renovation

Imagine....

....a warm house full of light where you can spend time together!

....an economical house, which respects the environment and adapts to the seasons!

... a friendly house open to the outside so that the family can enjoy of the garden!

Now let’s discover LUMICENE and convert those dreams to reality!

The veranda had to be reinvented!

Imagine.... you are enjoying a meal and you want to take advantage of the great weather.

Vous ouvrez un panneau, deux panneaux,...Just slide one panel, two panels,...

....and, by simply sliding all the panels, you go from inside to outside.

MORE THAN A WINDOW, LUMICENE IS A LIVING AREA

Unlike a standard balcony or terrace, LUMICENE is an inherent part of your living area. It extends the apartment by integrating it with the living area.The apartment becomes centralised around the LUMICENE which is not only an inside/outside interface but also links the kitchen, hall and living room. In this way, LUMICENE provides structure and flexibility to the whole living area.

Neither a bow-window, veranda nor terrace, LUMICENE is a cir-cular balcony area, redefining the link between the inside and the outside.

AVDANTAGES 7.

With LUMICENE, you are not simply inside or outside, but are able to switch between both, giving great flexibility depending on the light and weather conditions.

SUN PROTECTION

Based on «green» principles and sustainable development, LUMICENE is the only bioclimatic structure of its type on the market today. The different positions optimise the suns warmth and our comfort.

By optimising the buildings’ thermal inertia and with dynamicventilation, LUMICENE helps create a «low energy home».

LUMICENE absorbs the sunsenergy all day, warming the room by the glass-house effect.

The panels are on the inside. The glass surfaces are then in theshade to stop over-heating.

By using the optional externalshutters the thermal comfort isfurther improved.

A true bioclimatic house must manage the effect of the sun as well as the wind.

Thanks to its variable panel positioning, LUMICENE meets these needs. It provides wind protection from all directions.

AVDANTAGES 10.

LUMICENE requires only a minimum level of maintenance. After many years of service, the rollers may eventually need replacing.Hence a spare roller is provided which is clipped under each panel. Replacement only takes a few minutes.Instructions can be downloaded from www.lumicene.com

A yearly clean with soapy water will help protect the lacquered finnish.

LUMICENE is the result of ansuccessful alliance between aninnovative company and an industrial giant. The LUMICENE company and the St Gobain Group are linked through its subsidiary Sovedys by anexclusive licence.

LUMICENE is built integrally bySovedys and the Group provides a full 10 year building warranty.

Solutions designed for renovations.....

The first solution consists of integrating the LUMICENE in the same way as a new house build. A wall opening is made and a semi-circular roof ad-ded. Be careful, however, to make sure that the house can carry the additional load.

TECHNICAL NOTES

The support beams are fixed directly onto the concrete lintel which is lin-ked constructionally with the concrete floor. Please contact us concerning me-tal lintels.

The design and build of the terrace must take into ac-count the soil structure.

In order to achieve a per-fectly flush rail, the terrace height must be 10cm below the inside finished floor.

Originally, this 1985 house was a typical «European Home» design, built withrendered breeze blocks.

ASSEMBLY STAGES

«I wanted a lot of light and access to the garden. I also wanted a space that could be used all year round.LUMICENE was chosen because it met all these criteria : light, comfort, warmth and perfect integration with my lounge.

A 5m diameter LUMICENE was selected which added 15.5m2 of space. It is integrated by slightly recessing it by 1 metre into the house. This extends the existing lounge rather than adding a separate room.

The method is technically straight forward : the wall opening is made and a concrete or steel beam is added. The metal frame and roof structure are then assembled. The process takes about a week, excluding the finishes.

DELIVERY

LUMICENE is a standard industrial product.

It is delivered in a wooden case.

It essentially consists of - a lower rail fixed to the floor - uprights assembled on site - an upper rail suspended from the floor above - between 4 and 6 panels, depending on the diameter

INSTALLATION 48.

FALSE CEILING

The LUMICENE ceiling (225cm or 250cm) is generally lower than the rest of the room.This not only defines the LUMICENE space but, from a technical point of view, enables wider building tolerances to be used.It also enables a transversal support beam and insulation to be incorporated.The ceiling is made of plaster board mounted on standard metal framing.

UNDER-FLOOR HEATING

LUMICENE units are designed for use with hot water or electric under-floor heating.The lower rail is mounted on screw-jacks which allow the insulation and heating elements to pass easily underneath.

LIGHTING

The false ceiling enables built-in lighting to be used.It is recommended that a variable power switch be used and that the lights be positioned in a circle, corresponding to the size of table to be used. This avoids shadows in the plates during meals.

FLOOR FINISH

The LUMICEN E space is suitable for many floor finishes - typically tiles and carpets.Differentiating the LUMICENE space can produce great results.
