TEUFELBESCHLAG meeting new demands in ancient buildings
Churches are usually places where one can withdraw from the hectic daily life; they offer room for meditation and contemplation. In this article we want to focus on some of our references in this segement.

The special challenge in these surroundings is to maintain the church's optical characteristics while integrating the modern look of our glass elements.
With its multitude of fittings, TEUFELBESCHLAG is ready to take on that challenge.

The sheer size of old chapels demands for using separate areas in a more economic way. This may happen by creating rooms for prayer or group activities or by separating a foyer.

We all know ancient churches to be draughty edifices. By creating a vestibule in the entrance area with the aid of TEUFELBESCHLAG's products, this old rumour will die down in the future.

Living in a modern and lively parish brings along new demands for architects. Ancient building structures and new elements often have to be combined in a harmonic way.

Antique frescoes and mural paintings are treasures to be preserved for future generations. Thus, they have to be shielded from harmful environmental influences. This may be done by all glass constructions in order to guarantee for an untarnished view of these artworks.
