On April 7, 2016, the winners of the „Roof of the Year“ award were announced at the Estonian Construction Fair. This is a competition held by the Estonian Association of the Roofing Trade and it has four categories: Stone Roof, Tin Roof, Flat Roof and National Roof.
This competition is held every two years and roofing works of previous two years can be submitted. The purpose of this award is to promote professional roof building and to acknowledge roofing professionals, as well as to publicly promote their skills.
The Stone Roof of the Year prize was given to Perton Ehitus OÜ for the Tina 26 historical building in the centre of Tallinn. The biggest challenge in terms of this roof project was the various levels, openings, windows and other details.
The Art Nouveau villa on Tina 26 is an architectural monument and a lot of historical artefacts were renovated in the apartments (windows, doors, fireplaces, floors, etc). Densely checkered window frames, rounded and multiangular dormers, second floor with high mansards and a majestic staircase at the front door create an idyllic and timeless appearance. It was our goal to preserve the interiors of the building to the smallest detail. We followed the special requirements of heritage conservation.
