The Reglermauer parking building in Erfurt offers 200 new parking spaces Highly weather-resistant powder coating for the parking garage facade
A new multi-storey parking building was built on the site of the former Reglerkloster monastery in the center of Erfurt. The facade, with its distinctive color and appearance and powder-coated perforated sheets from Goldbeck Ost GmbH, gives the Reglermauer multi-storey parking building an appearance that is both completely unique and yet harmonizes perfectly with the neighboring late Romanesque Reglerkirche church. For the powder coating, Goldbeck opted for the highly weather-resistant Premium Polyester Powder from Brillux Industrial Coatings, which ensures that the facade of the new parking building not only looks attractive at first, but for many years to come.
Puristic and exciting at the same time: the facade of the newly built 5-storey Erfurt parking building on the Reglermauer site is a successful response to the architecture of the neighboring late Romanesque Reglerkirche from the 12th to 13th century. Due to the immediate proximity to the church, the architects Stadermann - Architekten BDA, Hausen, designed a building with a high architectural and urban quality. With its calm, sober form and color palette, the parking building is very restrained, preserving the secluded character of the monastery courtyard. Despite its utilitarian size, it is nevertheless modest and subordinate to the Reglerkirche. At the same time, the distinctive appearance of the facade makes a statement and does not deny the building's use as a parking building. Towards the church, the parking garage presents itself with an undulating, curved white concrete facade that seems to wrap around the building like a curtain of heavy cloth, thus entering dialog with the church. A plinth made of “Fichtelberg” cast concrete elements forms the basis of the facade design and reimagines the appearance of the natural stone of the Reglerkirche facade.
Powder-coated perforated aluminum facade
At the rear of the parking garage facing the street, the white concrete facade merges into a perforated sheet metal facade, which appears very open from the inside and allows users to relate to the outside. From the outside, however, the perforated sheets give the facade a closed, compact character. The color scheme creates a sense of movement: The individual perforated sheets were powder-coated in seven different colors using Premium Polyester Powder 5936 from Brillux Industrial Coatings. The unique combination of gray tones creates a wide variety of shades. The arrangement of the color nuances was deliberately shifted from floor to floor, creating the impression of a gentle oscillation across the entire facade. This effect is further enhanced by the fact that the ceilings on each floor are structured horizontally. The dull matt finish of the Premium Polyester Powder 5936 eliminates the expected glare of the facade elements and creates a high quality appearance.
Individual design with the best possible protective effect
For the parking building on the Reglermauer site, Brillux Industrial Coatings supplied the Premium Polyester Powder 5936 in the desired Scala colors. The highly weather-resistant powder coating meets the highest requirements in terms of quality and appearance. Due to its excellent weather resistance, good corrosion protection properties, high surface hardness and good mechanical values, Premium Polyester Powder was the ideal choice for coating the Goldbeck facade elements. In order to meet the requirement that there should be no mirror effects, the Premium Polyester Powder was used in a dull matt gloss grade.
