At TipTop Vakmannen, we work with innovative and sustainable techniques to preserve historic buildings in Amsterdam, without compromising their authentic character.

• Insulation with respect for historic building materials
  Traditional cavity wall insulation is often not possible, but there are alternative insulation methods that preserve the wall structure. These include using thin wood fiber or lime hemp insulation placed on the inside of the wall. This significantly improves thermal insulation without changing the appearance of the property.

• HR++ and vacuum glass as an alternative to standard double-glazing
  A major problem with historic buildings is the poor insulation value of old windows. Modern window frames are often not an option due to aesthetic and building restrictions. A smart solution is HR++ glass or vacuum glass, which is much thinner than standard double glazing and still has excellent insulating properties.

• Energy-efficient heating systems without major modifications
  A complete switch to a heat pump is not always feasible, but there are hybrid systems that work in conjunction with the existing heating system. For example, a hybrid heat pump can be used to complement a central heating boiler, reducing energy costs without replacing the entire system.

• Sustainable ventilation solutions
  Good ventilation is essential to prevent moisture problems and condensation in old buildings. Modern balanced ventilation systems can be integrated discreetly, without the need for extensive remodeling. This not only ensures a healthier indoor climate, but also helps to reduce heat loss
