🇦🇹 Steiermark, Austria

Roofing in Graz

Graz has a UNESCO-listed historic centre where profiles, materials and colour are controlled, sitting in a basin that traps cold air in winter. The combination means original metal profiles frequently have to be reproduced by hand rather than replaced with a modern equivalent.
