QUASART — contemporary facades in Belval
Belval is one of the most ambitious urban projects in Europe: a 120-hectare former steelworks brownfield transformed into a university, cultural and residential district, without erasing its industrial heritage. Blast furnace A still stands as a landmark; the Maison du Savoir, the Rockhal and the Maison des Sciences Humaines engage directly with the old production buildings. This context calls for a precise architectural posture from contemporary facades: modern without arrogance, dark without heaviness, textured without ostentation.
QUASART delivers on this typology with systems adapted to the site: fiber cement cladding (Equitone, Eternit) in anthracite or terracotta tones, Cedral Click composite cladding in dark colours echoing the industrial steel heritage, corten or matte black metallic cladding, large-format HPL in deep shades. The ventilated facade is the structuring principle — it enables external insulation, manages moisture and remains relevant for 40 years or more.
Based in Crauthem (L-3327), twenty minutes from Belval via the A4, QUASART knows the site and its stakeholders: Fonds Belval, national developers, University of Luxembourg, social landlords and cultural institutions. This continuity of experience translates into installation methods tailored to the specific logistical constraints of Belval — restricted delivery windows, co-activity with other construction lots, strict site cleanliness requirements.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions — Facades in Belval
The residential programmes of Belval (Square Mile, Belval-Sud, Belval Plaza) rely heavily on Equitone or Cedral fiber cement cladding in dark tones (anthracite, graphite, terracotta) and on Cedral Click composite cladding. These material choices fit the architectural vocabulary of Belval — sobriety, durability, dialogue with the steelworks heritage. QUASART masters these systems and regularly delivers on the site’s residential programmes, from mid-rise blocks to larger mixed-use developments.
QUASART delivers on Belval projects through public tenders or as a sub-contractor to general contractors appointed by Fonds Belval. The technical requirements, material traceability and coordination capacity on a complex site like Belval are at the heart of the QUASART trade. Every consultation is studied with the most relevant references from our portfolio, and we maintain continuous communication with the client’s representatives throughout the project.
The dialogue with the steelworks heritage works on three axes: tones (corten, anthracite, matte black), textures (matte rather than glossy, sober rather than demonstrative) and materials (steel, fiber cement, dark composite). Corten cladding (self-weathering steel) is the most direct extension of the industrial vocabulary; anthracite fiber cement is a contemporary interpretation. QUASART advises according to the exact context of the project, the architectural concept and the surrounding built fabric.
Equitone or Cedral fiber cement cladding: 180-280 EUR/m² depending on format and tone. Corten or lacquered aluminium metallic cladding: 220-380 EUR/m². Large-format HPL panels: 220-380 EUR/m². These prices include the aluminium sub-frame, thermal insulation (biosourced rockwool) and certified installation. QUASART provides a detailed quote after review of the project file and a site visit in Belval.
Yes. QUASART delivers on university (University of Luxembourg) and cultural (Rockhal and surrounding) programmes through public tenders or sub-contracting. The requirements — material certifications, AXA decennial insurance, coordination capacity with the institutions — are fully met. Cultural and institutional sites demand a particular discipline that QUASART has practised for more than ten years.
Financial support is available through the myenergy (Klimabonus) programme for facade insulation works in Luxembourg. Existing residential buildings in Belval-Ouest or Esch-Belval may be eligible depending on their age and the targeted thermal performance. Consult myenergy.lu to check your specific situation. QUASART can guide you through the technical elements needed for the application but does not claim certified partner status under Klimabonus.
Yes. Belval imposes precise logistics — restricted delivery zones, co-activity with other projects, controlled circulation, strict site cleanliness requirements. QUASART plans material deliveries in phases, coordinates with the other trades (structure, windows, waterproofing) and respects the rules set by Fonds Belval and the health & safety coordinator. Our experience on large southern-Luxembourg programmes is a clear asset when co-activity is intense.
