“A striking façade isn’t façade by an extraordinary color alone. The real challenge lies in ensuring that this vibrant color remains just as vivid even years later. With TA-Protect®, we make exactly that possible. ”
~ Michael Jakoby, Authorized Signatory and Product Manager for TA-Protect®
Some buildings simply serve their purpose. Others define an entire landscape. The Plange Mill in the industrial port of Neuss undoubtedly falls into the second category.
Even from a distance, the striking building catches everyone’s eye. With its vibrant orange hue, the newly designed façade stands out façade from its industrial surroundings and adds a bold touch to the industrial harbor. The colour chosen deliberately: it evokes images of ripe grain, the raw material that has been at the heart of the family business for generations.
At first glance, the façade tells façade story of Plange Mühle. It blends tradition with modernity and brings the company’s identity to life. A functional production site is transformed into a landmark with high name recognition.
The heart of the company—the mill—is the space where grain is ground into high-quality flour in accordance with the strictest purity standards and regulations. It is a space where there are no compromises when it comes to quality. This commitment to consistently delivering the highest quality runs like a common thread through Plange Mühle’s 250-year history and extends far beyond the mill’s interior.
And that was precisely the special challenge of the project. The silos and production halls tower far above the surrounding buildings and are exposed to the elements without any protection. A rusty or faded façade contradict the company’s own quality standards even from a distance.
With TA-Protect®, Plange Mühle found exactly the right solution. Thanks to corrosion protection class C3, UV classificationRUV5, and Qualicoat Class 3, the coating system meets even the highest standards for durability and color brilliance.
Quality was also a key factor in the selection of profiled sheets. With a façade area of approximately 5,000 m², it is not only the colour the visual impact, but also the profile geometry. Each profile creates a different lighting effect and alters the perception of large surfaces.
For the Plange Mill, the TA-Aluform® 40/167 trapezoidal Aluminium profile was selected. Its clean, understated lines allow the bold color scheme to take center stage façade lending the façade a timeless elegance. The profiled sheets were produced on Tacke + Lindemann in-house roll forming lines Tacke + Lindemann Dortmund. This ensured a consistently high standard of quality throughout the entire project.
Combined with the TA-Protect® surface in vibrant orange, this resulted in a façade solution that will continue to vividly reflect Plange Mühle’s commitment to quality for many years to come.
