Simply simplify!
WE LIVE IN an increasingly complex world.
We have to do more in less time. We constantly
have to make adaptations to new, often stricter
demands. Need fulfilment is more important than
ever before. So greater efficiency, higher qual-ity,
better use of resources and environmentally
sound choices are just some of the challenges
we all need to meet to ensure success. This
applies to Lindab, and to all of our customers.
For more than 50 years our motto has been
“simplifying construction”. This has brought suc-cess
for our customers, and for us. We have
recently implemented an organisational change
called One Lindab, which has brought our entire
offering under a single umbrella. We want to take
the idea of simplification to a new level and make
everything easier with Lindab as a partner. We
believe this is necessary in a complex world.
We want to simplify everything – project plan-ning,
ordering, delivery, goal attainment, fitting,
and every aspect of doing business with us.
Today we not only have a very wide, well-reputed
range of products and solutions for ventilation
and building, we also have specialist expertise
in many areas such as technical design, fire,
sound, energy and environment. The idea behind
One Lindab is to give all our customers access
to all these areas in a simple, coherent way, and
through their normal Lindab contact.
Our focus is a flat, fast, co-ordinated organi-sation
that puts service and support above all
else. Without exception, I have met with a posi-tive
response from all the customers I have seen
recently. The feeling many of them convey is that
they are pleased to see that Lindab is clearly
‘back’ and that we are equipped and ready for
the future. This is of course very pleasing.
Lindab has always been on a journey, and now
is no exception. Simplification is about constantly
understanding and capturing new customer
needs, and matching them as quickly as pos-sible.
New technical solutions through cutting-edge
product development, combined with
leading know-how and support, are important
stages on the road to simplification. But is also
entails measures that make life easier such as
more branch offices, new digital tools and always
being on our toes to help solve our customers’
problems.
Our indoor climate solutions are a good
example of how investments in satisfying cus-tomer
needs, and simplifying the way of doing
business with us, have truly met with a positive
response from the market and our customers.
Lindab’s new indoor climate solutions, such as
Pascal and Solus, are characterised by high
energy efficiency, and are therefore important,
natural components in the production of low
energy buildings and passive houses – i.e. the
construction of the future.
Moreover, eco-friendly solutions and energy
efficiency are increasingly coming to the fore in
all construction. Bringing these issues into focus
and developing new solutions with a green profile
in all our product areas is therefore absolutely
pivotal to us.
We are now strengthening our presence on
several markets, as you can read about in this
issue of Lindab Direct. The more customers
we can open doors for and give access to the
resources of a large company on a close, local
level, the better.
All in all, we strongly believe that all this
makes us a more attractive partner for our
customers. However, there is always room for
improvement, so comments, ideas and opinions,
positive and negative, from our customers are
incredibly valuable.
Below is my phone number and e-mail
address. Please feel free to contact me with any
comments and ideas you
may have. How can we
be better? What should
we change? Is there
anything important we’re
missing? You have the
answers, and you can
put us on the right track
as to how we can help
you – our customers – to
increase your competi-tiveness
and improve your business.
I hope and trust that a simpler working
life will also make it easier to choose Lindab.
Wishing you all a productive, rewarding autumn
and winter season, full of activity and good busi-ness!

Welcome to the latest issue of Lindab Direct. As usual you’ll find an interesting mix
of reports on products and solutions for ventilation, construction and steel building
systems. You can also read about what we call One Lindab, which we hope you’ve

For many years, Lindab has sold its products and solutions via different business areas. Now,
though, we are tearing down the walls and bringing our complete building portfolio under one
roof – One Lindab. This makes life easier for our customers and paves the way for interesting new
opportunities.
FOR JUST UNDER a year now we have
been working under our new organisational
structure, One Lindab. It has a clear, fun-damental
objective: to give our customers
a broader, more complete offering and an
even simpler working day.
Ventilation Building Products
Airy – the adaptable “In the past Lindab was run in business
areas with separate functions for building
and ventilation products,” explains Bengt
Andersson, head of the Market, Product
6 lindabdirect
and Key Account department at Lindab.
“However, whether it’s downpipes and
gutters or a complex indoor climate system
with VAV control, essentially it always came
down to products and solutions for con-struction.
Now we can give all our custo-mers
a more complete
offering and access to the
far-reaching construction
expertise in our organisa-tion.”
When it comes to areas
like fire, sound, energy and
environment, Lindab has
gathered its knowledge so
that customers can access
it more easily.
“With One Lindab we
can therefore now offer our
customers professional
consultation and product
choice support in these ar-eas,
which are so important when it comes
to building,” Bengt Andersson continues.
“We’re convinced this will mean our cus-tomers
can really benefit from our overall
expertise as smartly as possible, whether
we’re talking about building or ventilation
solutions.”
Another aim of One Lindab is to give
customers a simple, uncomplicated con-tact
interface with Lindab, whatever kind of
solution they are looking for.
“Obviously our customers still have the
same Lindab contact they’re used to, but
now that person has whole new possibili-ties
to use the rest of the Lindab organi-sation
when the customer has a more
specialised request,” Bengt Andersson
continues. “Our core values Neatness and
Order, Down-to-Earth and Customer Suc-cess
already guide us in what we do. Our
aim with One Lindab is to further increase
our ability to provide you with complete
solutions – solutions that bring you success
and competitive advantages in a tough,
increasingly demanding market.”

DISTRIBUTION AND local
presence – the ability to be
where the customer is – have always been
key for Lindab. Continually opening new
branches and sales offices, as well as
entering new countries and markets,
is important in our aim of simplifying
construction and assuring success
for our customers.
It is now time once again for
builders, tinsmiths and ventilation
installers across Europe to say Hi! to
Lindab in their home territories. Here
are some of the places
where Lindab now flies
its flag. Welcome!

adaptable valve
assembly and simple adjustment of the air flow are important
benefits, while the combinations offered by Airy in terms of ap-pearance,
colour and size add the finishing touch.”
Lindab Airy is available in five different front designs, and in
three sizes. The front itself is available with a bare surface ready
for painting or papering, in a selection of colours and in stain-less
steel. “Customers can choose whether the valve is visible
and truly stands out on the wall, or discreetly blends in and
‘becomes one’ with the wall,” Göran Hultmark concludes. “With
Airy virtually anything is possible. It’s the adaptable valve!”
AS WE ALL know,
PCs these days have
competition, or help, from Apple and Android
smartphones and tablets when it comes to
putting information and solutions where they
are most needed. Lindab is of course on the
case, and during the year we have launched
a number of useful apps for builders, ventila-tion
fitters and hall builders.
Vent Tools, as the name suggests, is de-signed
for the ventilation sector and contains
a series of smart tools for basic ventilation
installations. Dimensioning of circular and
rectangular ducts, offset for bends and
T-pieces, as well as insulation lengths and
ceiling angle can all be worked out quickly
and easily from any place.
Wall Selector is an effective tool for design-ers
and engineers in wall construction. The
app can be used to quickly outline wall con-structions
that meet the necessary noise and
fire regulations. The app presents Lindab’s
partition wall solutions, along with a range of
wall types with different specifications that
make it easy to do the job right. There are
also handy contact details for the nearest
Lindab stockist.
EcoBuild is a complete tool for configura-tion
of Astron’s new, economic and ecologic
building called ‘EcoBuild’. Here the user
can quickly put together ‘their’ building and
freely select dimensions, window and door
placement, colours and more, naturally all in
3D. Moreover, an inquiry can be directly sent
to Astron with a price and delivery time by
return e-mail.

When a roof becomes a foundation
in brief
Delivery of a complete
package of lightweight
construction solutions from
Lindab made it possible
to utilise the otherwise
unused roof of a shopping
mall in the Czech Republic.
Building contractor Aperta
Group had 17 exclusive
duplex apartments built in
a quite unexpected loca-tion
– right in the middle of
Luhacovice town centre.
lindabdirect
THE ROOFS OF SHOPPING MALLS – flat roofs
at any rate – are often used as parking spaces for
customers or sometimes as activity centres for their
children. There are however more exciting possibili-ties,
as demonstrated by the Alfa Market shopping
mall in the holiday and spa town of Luhacovice,
Czech Republic, where the expansive roof area has
been used very differently. Today the roof supports
17 attractive duplex apartments, part of the Eden
holiday complex and constructed using Lindab’s
lightweight construction technology. And they’re
close to the shops too!
“The light, pre-fabricated steel construction
proved perfect in every way,” explains Pavel Runa
of Lindab. “It gave the architects complete freedom
in the design process and could easily be adapted
to the building requirements in Luhacovice. The
ability to build 17 apartments in a central location in a
densely populated, fully developed area is, of course,
interesting from many perspectives. The construc-tion
and low weight of the elements also simplified
assembly and management, eliminating the need for
heavy machinery.”
In addition to the steel construction itself, Lindab
also supplied all the roof cladding and rainwater
systems in the form of Lindab SRP 25 and Lindab
Rainline respectively.
The apartments, which were designed by archi-tect
duo Dum-Dum on behalf of building contractor
Aperta Group, are characterised by modern, com-pact
design with appealing space in a small area,
which creates the desired luxurious feel. The apart-ments
are L-shaped with a footprint of 7.2 x 10 m.
They have a living room, kitchen and dining room on
the lower level and a bedroom and bathroom on the
upper level. Each apartment also has its own lawn.
“Working with Lindab’s lightweight construc-tion
system is really nice and simple and it gives us
exactly the possibilities we’re looking for,” say archi-tects
Borek Knytl and Josef Omelka of Dum-Dum.
“Sometimes new technology can be limiting, but the
product systems from Lindab give us full creative
and architectural freedom, while also enabling us to
make low-weight buildings that can be located in this
quite unique way. Their technical support is also in a
league of its own!”
Prior to building the duplex apartments, the exist-ing
roof was replaced with a completely waterproof
cladding ready for the green spaces. “Once con-struction
began it all ran like clockwork,” says Josef
Gronych of KKS-Servis. “Lindab supplied us with the
construction and assembly drawings and assembly
was problem free – we put the buildings together
as Lindab delivered the labelled wall profiles. The
colour-matched Lindab SRP 25 roof and Rainline
rainwater systems were the icing on the cake!”

LIGHTLY APPEALING
The 17 apartments in the
Eden housing complex
above the Alfa Market
shopping mall in the
Czech town of Luhacov-ice
are not only a very
lightweight construction,
they are without a doubt
also highly appealing.
CONSTRULINE Thanks
to Lindab’s range of
products for lightweight
construction, the entire
housing complex could
be planned and designed
simply and assembled
quickly and easily on site
– i.e. straight on the roof
of the shopping mall.

of an existing building

8 Lightweight construction is a winner in every way: less weight, easier assembly work, and easier
handling and logistics. It’s also easy to see the opportunities all this presents, just as architects
Dum-Dum and builders KKS-Servis did when new apartments were needed in a location with no
apparent available space.

Reliable deliveries coupled with packaged solutions that genuinely fit together may not sound that
special. However, they are absolutely crucial to modern construction and are an important part of a
simpler working day. This is certainly the view of Varla Bleck & Plåt and Bravida, who are busy work-ing
on the new multisports arena called Göteborgs Nya Arena (Gothenburg New Arena).
Packaged solutions in time from Lindab
GOTHENBURG NEW ARENA is not only the
largest multisports centre in the Nordic region; it is
also the result of a passion for sport and a genuine
commitment to offering young people and adults
better opportunities to develop their sports.
Construction company Serneke and Prioritet
Finans are behind the project, which is scheduled
for completion in spring 2015. The unique installation
will include an indoor skiing facility, a full-size football
pitch, two sports halls, an elementary school,
an upper secondary sports school, a restaurant,
conferencing, a gym, an injury clinic for athletes, a
sports hotel and more. With an area of 45,300 m2
the arena is set to become one of Gothenburg’s
biggest buildings.
Lindab is responsible for supplying roof and wall
elements for the large football hall, as well as the
circular duct system for the entire arena.
Lindab has supplied Varla Bleck & Plåt with
around 12,000 m2 of perforated Lindab LHP 200
for the football pitch’s vaulted roof, as well as around
3,000 m2 of sandwich panelling for its walls. In addi-tion
there are some 100,000 screws from Unite for
fastening. “Being able to source the entire package
– roofing profiles, assembly fixtures, sandwich pan-els
and all the screws – from a single supplier is a
major advantage,” says Reine Andersson, Assembly
Manager for Varla Bleck & Plåt. “It makes ordering,
suborders and delivery easier, but above all Lindab
is responsible both for the construction and the con-nection
between the roof and façade. This means
there’s a joined-up approach to the entire construc-tion,
and means problem-free, uncomplicated as-sembly
for us. The assembly drawings provided by
Lindab have also helped us considerably.”
As usual the construction schedule has been
tight and all the deliveries have had to follow dead-lines.
“Everything has worked really well and we’ve
received everything on time,” Reine Andersson
continues. “Even when the ordering client brought
the delivery schedule forward, Lindab managed to
keep up with the deliveries, which is great!”
Bravida is responsible for all installations at
Gothenburg New Arena and is currently around half
way through assembling the duct system. “All the
duct systems here are circular Lindab Safe, which
we’re familiar with,” explains Peter Nemere, Project
Manager at Bravida. “Assembly got off to a flying
start, but Lindab had no trouble supplying us with
ducts, silencers and parts from the very beginning.
We place all our orders via our own system, Bravis,
which is linked directly to Lindab. It all works very
smoothly, and if anything happens we get swift sup-port
and assistance from Jan Derevall and his team
at Lindab Borås.”
Precise deliveries at set times are also very
important to Bravida. “Large amounts of ducts and
a lot of transport deadlines are involved, so it’s ab-solutely
essential that the deliveries flow as planned.
And they do!” concludes Nemere, to the agreement
of all the fitters present.

THE ITALIAN CITY of Bologna is a natural junc-tion
between Continental Europe and the Medi-terranean.
The expansion of the TAV high-speed
railway along the Milan-Bologna-Florence route
called for a new central station in Bologna to handle
the ever-increasing train travel.
Architects Arata Isosaki and Andrea Maffei de-signed
the new central station with separate levels
for the TAV, the local metro system and the regular
rail network (SFM). As large parts of the new central
station are underground, ventilation systems with
heating, cooling and above all smoke evacuation
were required. Lindab’s extensive expertise in ven-tilation
systems and smoke evacuation was a key
reason why installer Xfire Sistemi chose Lindab.
“Experienced subcontractors are critical to
this kind of complex, far-reaching project,” says
Roberto Massaro, project manager at Xfire Sistemi.
“This may be our first collaboration with Lindab,
but their expertise and know-how in ventilation and
smoke evacuation, their delivery capability and high
product quality made them the natural choice for
us. We have had no reason to regret our decision.
What’s more, certified products that fulfil all the
technical specifications are absolutely crucial in this
type of installation. Lindab is clearly at the forefront
in this respect.”
The construction coincided with an extensive
transition from Italian norms for fire and smoke
evacuation to a European standard. “Thanks to
our experience from the major MOSE project, for
example, we could help clear up any questions and
uncertainties while planning the station project,”
says Lindab engineer Enrico Audisio.
“Lindab didn’t just provide high technical exper-tise
and quality products,” Roberto Massaro con-tinues.
“With a project of this size, in the middle of
a city and taking over three years, perfect delivery
logistics are absolutely crucial. “Lindab’s struc-tured,
co-ordinated deliveries ran smoothly, which
gave us great
security and
peace of
mind in our
work. They
truly delivered
on their aim
of bringing
customer
success! The
way I see
it, Lindab’s
knowledge has also helped increase safety and
peace of mind for the 180,000 or so rail passen-gers
who pass through Bologna’s new central
station every day.”

Logical solutions for Lego
THE DELIVERIES TO Lego’s
new plant in Kladno, Czech Re-public,
are yet another example of how
Lindab’s know-how in different areas can
come together to form a turnkey solution.
The product in this case is a complete
indoor climate system with cooling and
smoke evacuation for Lego’s new pro-duction
plant just outside Prague.
The duct system is being put in by
installers Komerc, while Klimatest is
responsible for the smoke evacuation
system and Alpine Energie for installing
some 200 Plexus cooling beams.
“Lindab’s products are certified for
smoke and fire evacuation,” says Zdenek
Pauli of Klimatest, when asked why
Lindab was chosen as the supplier. “They
also have industry-leading expertise in
the area.”
“When it comes to chilled beams, we
have already used Plexus in other Lego
projects, and because the client has been
satisfied with the results it was the natural
choice here too,” adds Jan Kodytek of
Alpine Energie.
The installations began in March this
year and are expected to be complete
towards the end of 2014.

Future building nearly zero energy
LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION which
meets or exceeds one of the many standards in
place today is more the rule than the exception
for all new construction. However, after 2020
will see stricter requirements in this area, as all
new or extensively remodelled buildings in Eu-rope
will have to meet an EU directive for nearly
zero energy consumption.
Lindab’s Building Systems division began
the job of developing and adapting the Astron
system to this future standard already several
years ago. “Key areas are greater tightness,
reduction of thermal bridges, the use of solar
power and much more,”
says Pascal Brinks, the
man heading up this
project at Astron, which
is a collaboration with
Kaiserslautern technical university and Luxem-bourg’s
National Research Fund. “Much of the
research in the area has been carried out on
residential buildings, and the results have then
been adapted for commercial construction.
Our challenge is to identify zero-energy so-lutions
that are directly adapted for commercial
and industrial construction. Our research has
already turned up some interesting results. We
now have to translate these into practically ap-plicable
solutions and subsystems in the Astron
concept, and further enhance energy efficiency
in our systems.”
Construction company Johann Bott is an
Astron Builder and a longstanding partner of
Astron, which put the focus on energy-efficient
buildings at an early stage. “Construction is a
complex process that only works well if all the
various aspects are perfectly co-ordinated,”
explains Bernd Ludwig, Managing Director
of Johann Bott. “We’ve been constructing
buildings for five generations and more than
170 years, and we not only learnt this early on,
we were also a pioneer in Germany in energy-efficient
buildings.”
When the company built its headquarters
in Guldental in the 1970s, it was equipped with
a heat pump, solar panels and a floor heating
system. “At the time it was all quite ‘exotic’, but
the system turned out to work very well and
continues to do so today,” Bernd Ludwig con-tinues.
“Since then we have built many energy-efficient
buildings. In 2004 for example we built
a new municipal sports hall and cultural centre
in Grolsheim with energy consumption 73%
below the German standard – so low that the
building became a local Agenda 21 specimen.”
More recently Johann Bott has built a

Lindab Safe for MAX IV
14 lindabdirect
THE MAX RESEARCH facility in the Brunnshög
area of Lund will soon be ranked one of
the world’s leading centres for synchrotron light
research. With the new MAX IV, the centre will
comprise five storage rings. Laser is used to
create extremely short pulses of electrons, which
are then accelerated to almost the speed of
light in a linear accelerator. When the electrons
are then injected into the storage ring, powerful
magnets deflect the electron path into a circle,
which creates what is called synchrotron light. The
synchrotron light source is then used for highly
sophisticated research at nanotech level in fields
such as material science, biotechnology, medicine
and environmental research.
Lindab has already supplied the façade for the
circular MAX IV building. Delivery of an extensive
Lindab Safe duct system for the facility has also
been under way since 2012.
in brief
Deliveries to Imtech and
complete duct systems
for research buildings
and offices at the new
MAX IV synchrotron light
laboratory outside Lund,
Sweden. Smooth logistics
with booking in Imtech’s
own business system and
reliable precision deliveries
have assured a problem-free
installation flow.
A DUCT SYSTEM with an industrial feel and a flawless
surface. “These were the architects’ requirements when
MasterChef Studios contacted us about a duct system for the
newly designed TV studio for the popular TV programme,”
explains John Smith, Contract Director at Imperial Ductwork
Services in the UK. “Being able to deliver a complete Lindab
system of flawless quality, down to the smallest screw, was
highly appreciated. The fact that, thanks to Lindab, we
could also deliver in a very short time was an added
bonus. We’ll have to live with the fact that the duct sys-tem
itself is for studio decoration only, the main thing is
that the customer is satisfied!”
The delivery encompassed round 400 and 100 mm ducts, as well as
components such as fasteners, but did not include the ventilation itself –
the aim was solely to create the ‘right atmosphere’ for the studio and its
lighting. “The architects had seen our installation of Lindab ducts at the
Apple Store in Covent Garden, London, and found the feeling to be just
right,” Smith continues. “We also knew from experience that Lindab could
help us with this special delivery, but when we realised we only
had about 5 days to order, get the materials from Lindab and
install everything before the studio cameras started rolling, it
was pretty stressful to say the least. But it all ran smoothly,
even though MasterChef Studios made continuous adjust-ments
along the way.”

Lindab Safe
“We’re responsible for the entire ventilation instal-lation
at MAX IV and are currently in the final phase
for the storage ring buildings (A and D) and the office
building (E),” says Peter Blomgren, lead fitter at
Imtech. “The whole duct system in the large storage
ring, building A, has been mounted and is now await-ing
adjustment. There is a lot of Lindab Safe in the
extensive ventilation system which has been dimen-sioned
and prepared for a large number of separate
research laboratories and measuring stations.”
“Thanks to our close, long-standing collabora-tion,
Lindab was the natural choice as with earlier
deliveries,” Blomgren continues. “We’re completely
familiar with Lindab’s duct system and are very used
to installing it. When Lindab’s diffusers and indoor
climate products are appropriate as well, or when
they are directly recommended, we obviously choose
those too.”

KILOMETRES The roof of
the large storage building
has over 3 kilometres of
800 mm Lindab Safe.
Together with other ducts
and parts, this was a truly
wide-ranging delivery.

Deliveries to the construction site have been subject to deadlines, i.e. they need to be made at
set times. “So far the deliveries have run very smoothly, which has been absolutely essential in
a project of this scale. We’re talking about kilometres of 800 mm pipes that have been delivered
continuously since 2012. What’s more, we really appreciate Lindab’s service and flexibility. Clear
labelling, good documentation and late changes to orders from us, which are sometimes neces-sary
– it all runs very well. I’m very happy with Lindab,” Peter Blomgren concludes.
INDUSTRIAL LOOK
Lindab’s duct system was the right solution with the
right feeling for the MasterChef Studios.
“The relationship with our suppliers is key in all our
projects, particularly special solutions like this. We’re
also now seeing a rise in demand for visible duct
systems, so Imperial Ductwork Services, with Lindab’s
systems and support, can present attractive solutions
to meet this demand – and the solutions work per-fectly
as well,” John Smith concludes with a smile.

THE NEW HALL for automated cab production
currently being built at Scania’s site in Oskarshamn
is no small project. Tinsmith Plåtson has fitted blue
and white sandwich panels from Lindab for the
building’s façades, as well as Lindab LHP 130 per-forated
trapeze sheeting on the whole large roof
surface. Furthermore, ventilation installer Imtech is
installing an extensive Lindab Safe duct system.
“As Scania specified completely silicon-free
panels in their special light-blue colour, Lindab’s
mineral wool panels were ideal,” says Bill Stures-son,
Managing Director at Plåtson. “But as always
the product itself is only one part of the delivery:
project support is at least as important and we
knew that Lindab always delivers in that respect.
Our aim was therefore to bring in Lindab to supply
the roof and façade solution.”
“The order was proceeded by comprehensive
planning and it was very reassuring to have Lind-ab’s
support behind us,” explains Marcus Hellens,
Project Manager at Plåtson. “As it was our largest
job to date, it was vital to have both the logistics
and all the construction solutions on track. Happily
Scania chose the solution that we and Lindab pre-sented,
and we’ve now been working on the order
since January. The clearly labelled deliveries and
excellent installation drawings provided by Lindab
have made our job a lot easier!”
The sandwich panels, delivered in two colours
with three different mineral wool densities, were
transported from Lindab’s production unit in Luleå

12 tonnes and 3,000 m2 of stainless sheet metal from Lindab cover virtually all of the exterior surfaces of the new
Submarine Building at the Naval Museum in Karlskrona, Sweden. Inside, a complete Lindab Indoor Climate system
provides safe and fresh air, with correct humidity for visitors as well as museum exhibits.
Unique and advanced for the Naval Museum Karlskrona
THE SHINY NEW Submarine Hall stands next
to the main building of Karlskrona Naval Museum,
reminiscent of a battleship in stealth mode. The Submarine Hall
is certainly a different museum building, and the contents are
just as different: Sweden’s first submarine, Hajen, along with the
HMS Neptun, a high-tech spearhead from the Cold War era,
which was around when the Soviet submarine U137 ran aground
in the Karlskrona archipelago.
The building was designed by Björn Malmström of HMXW
Architects, and is actually inspired by the Swedish Navy’s Visby
class stealth corvettes and their anti-radar technology. Apart
from the Vasa warship in Stockholm, the HMS Neptun is the
biggest built-in museum exhibit in Sweden. Except for a few
stone-paved areas, the building is entirely clad in standing seam
stainless sheet supplied by Lindab Kalmar, and also boasts a
sophisticated ventilation system from Lindab Ronneby.
“All the standing seam roofing is stainless sheet metal, acid
proof 05, which is both a unique and an exclusive façade mate-rial,
at least on this scale,” says Johan Hansson, Managing Direc-tor
of Drags Plåt, a long-standing customer of Lindab Kalmar
and the company responsible for all the sheet metal work. “The
material was not only chosen for its aesthetic appeal, it also
requires minimal maintenance. The originally recommended steel
grade was not feasible, but Lindab was able to present a solution
of totally equal quality.”
Today 12 tonnes and 3,000 m2 of stainless sheet metal cover
virtually all of the exterior surfaces, and with its eclectic and
exciting appearance the building is something of a swatch-book
of different standing seam techniques. “Stainless sheet metal
entails extreme thermal movements, and we have used both
double seaming and seam welding,” Hansson continues. “The
results were excellent, an opinion shared by us, the architect, the
museum and the National Property Board.”
Museums, with their unique exhibits, generally place stringent
demands on their indoor climate. “And the Naval Museum was
no exception,” explains Stefan Carlsson of Ventilationsteknik i
Blekinge, which was responsible for the ventilation installation.
“They needed advanced systems for both humidifying and de-humidifying,
and of course for heating and cooling.”
Much of the duct system is cast into the concrete structure,
and the most visible parts are the ACP fabric diffusers which can
be seen above the Hajen and Neptun. There is also stainless
Lindab Safe mounted in the fan room. “We buy all our ventilation

Lindab – the logical choice
DELONGHI IS A well-known Ital-ian
manufacturer
of everything from
espresso machines and deep fat fryers to
portable air humidifiers and fans for homes
and offices. In 2013 the company entered
the Romanian market when it took over a
production unit in the city of Jacu from Finn-ish
company Nokia. The plant has recently
been expanded with a brand new 6,000 m2
factory building. Lindab supplied a complete
indoor climate system via its customer Grup
Ergoinstal, one of Romania’s leading installers
of indoor climate systems.
The plant was designed by he Engineer-ing
office Dico si Tiganas. “Choosing Lindab
gave us access to a complete product pro-gramme
for high-quality indoor climate solu-tions,
both in terms of function and aesthet-ics,”
says Lucian Chiorean at Dico si Tiganas.
“We could also use Lindab’s support and
their smart CADvent and DIMcomfort IT solu-tions
for duct design and climate simulation
respectively, which was a great success!”
Grup Ergoinstal has now installed a
comprehensive indoor climate system in the
new factory building. The system includes
72 Lindab RCWB-3 rotation diffusers with
thermal control, and a complete Lindab Safe
duct system in dimensions up to 1,250 mm
with around 400 duct parts.
“We have been a partner of Lindab for
more than 10 years. Our long-standing
collaboration has led to a strong, deeper
relationship and has enabled us to offer our
customers many great benefits,” says Dan
Ciubancan of Grup Ergoinstal. “The highest

with the best tightness class, coupled with
fast installation times and exceptional cus-tomer
support.”
The DeLonghi project was a complex
installation where the end customer set very
high standards regarding quality, energy ef-ficiency,
function and aesthetics.
“Thanks to our long collaboration, we
knew that Lindab was the right partner and
the logical choice for this project. Lindab has
also quite rightly provided ongoing techni-cal
support throughout the project period.
Together with their customary flexibility and
reliable deliveries, they have made it possible
to deliver a system that perfectly matches
the requirements of the end customer and
consultant,” Dan Ciubancan concludes.
DEMANDS MET Thanks to the collaboration
between installer Grup Ergoinstal, consultant Dico si
Tiganas and Lindab, DeLonghi’s requirements for the
new indoor climate system could be met.
LINDAB HAS JUST delivered two hall buildings to Gilan MMC in
Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. The halls will be used for the cus-tomer’s
production and storage of herbal medicines. The buildings, which are
19,000 m2, in total (45x386 m and 18x90 m) are good examples of Lindab’s
flexible Systemline product and have a few special architecture solutions. A
slightly arched roof, load-bearing steel columns outside the façade and pro-truding,
non load-bearing roof truss components combined with an attractive
colour scheme make the buildings stand out from typical hall buildings.
“This is an excellent example of how good collaboration between Gilan
MMC, our experienced building partner AIKON and our Building Systems
team in Hungary has produced a building that stands out from the crowd and
meets all of Gilan MMC’s strict requirements,” says Zoltán Erőss, Lindab.

A PASSIVE HOUSE is an extra
well-insulated building without
a conventional heating system. The heating
system in Bollnäs Bostäder’s newly built
Sundsbro apartment building is based on
the efficient recovery of residual heat from
the 24 apartments’ lighting, appliances, and
of course the people inside the building. All
supported by solar panels on the roof.
Bollnäs Bostäder is aiming to achieve
Gold environmental building classification,
not unreasonable bearing in mind the build-ing’s
construction and systems. Lindab has
delivered a complete indoor climate system,
roof drainage, roofing profiles and roof
safety for the Sundsbro building.
“It’s nice to work with quality products,”
says Krister Persson of Bollnäs Plåt, an
installation company that has been working
with Lindab for several years. “Being able
to source ventilation ducts and diffusers, as
well as roof systems and roof drainage from
the same supplier can only be a good thing.
What’s more, Lindab is always good with
deliveries and gives us quick answers to any
questions we have.”
The building’s indoor climate system
is fitted with heat exchangers as well as
supply and exhaust air thanks to Lindab’s
SHH diffuser. The diffuser is stylish, with an
easily adjustable air flow and low noise level,
which is important in a residential environ-ment.
“The duct system itself, however, is a
conventional Lindab Safe system with class
D tightness, but as every apartment has
completely separate supply and exhaust
air ducts up to the fan room on the seventh
floor, there was a lot of duct-drawing to
be done,” explains Hans-Olof Hansson of
Bollnäs Plåt.
“It’s great to have been a supplier for
Norrland’s first passive house,” says Ernst
Cardell of Lindab. “It shows that our product
systems are well suited to a modern envi-ronmental
approach!”
The building was completed in early
summer, and the coming winter will ascer-tain
whether the Gold environmental build-ing
classification can be achieved.

FINDING A PARKING space should
ideally be quick and easy. The same basic
idea is behind Astron’s new product concept: the
parking deck.
“A short build time coupled with a lightweight
steel construction and, of course, the option to fully
tailor the solution make parking decks from Astron
an attractive alternative,” says Glauco Sala of Rug-gerini
Pietro, one of Astron’s partners in Italy. “We
have recently built a new multi-storey car park for a
famous sports car producer in Maranello. Astron’s
solutions, such as the light Inodek floor with built-in
joists, are quick to build and offer large widths
without columns. The fact that we could also offer
the customer an attractive façade solution that did
justice to their symbol was an added bonus.”
Europcar in Kelsterbach, near Frankfurt airport,
is another company that needed 300 or so parking
spaces – fast. An Astron solution fully adapted to
the existing multi-storey could be built in a very
short space of time. “Without a doubt our quick,

France for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.
When it is launched in 2016 it will be the
world’s biggest cruise liner, a giant of the
seas at 363 metres long and with room for
8,000 passengers. Lindab has been cho-sen
to supply the vessel’s silencer system
for the ventilation.
Shipbuilding group STX Europe, one
of the European leaders in the area, has
already used Lindab’s duct systems in two
projects for RCCL in Finland. “Lindab was
chosen as the supplier then too, and their
positive experience undoubtedly helped
them to choose our solutions once again,”
says Pascal Gelugne of Lindab. “The fact
that we also have a strong presence in
France, as well as an excellent collabora-tion
with our colleagues at Lindab Marine
in Finland, was of course also a factor, and
we’re delighted to have our first
marine order here!”
The systems are being installed by
Cofely Axima, a company with long experi-ence
of marine and other installations on
various cruise liners. Space for ventilation
is always limited but on ships, and this kind
in particular, the aim is to maximise the
volume in cabins and all other passenger
spaces.
“Our marine silencer solutions are char-acterised
by space-saving design and low

allow a very low noise level. Altogether this
meant a perfect, quiet ventilation solution
for STX Europe and Cofely Axima.” Pleas-ure
