Construction managers choose Steni Protego – because the total economy matters
Published at: /Increase

When older fiber cement roofs approach the end of their lifespan, many housing associations and municipalities face important decisions. For Glostrup Housing Association in Denmark, the assessment of total economy led to the choice of Steni Protego as the new roofing solution.
Long lifespan, low maintenance costs
Steni Protego is a robust and maintenance-free roofing panel made of stone composite, developed to withstand the Nordic climate. With an expected lifespan of over 60 years and a 40-year warranty, it offers a safe and long-term investment. The lightweight panels can be installed directly onto existing roof structures, reducing both material and installation costs.
Sustainable and aesthetic
In addition to the economic benefits, Glostrup Housing Association emphasized sustainability. Steni Protego is 100% recyclable and contributes to a lower carbon footprint. The matte surface provides a modern look that harmonizes with various architectural styles.
– Personally, I think it looks much better than corrugated fiber cement, and fortunately, the residents agree, says Dalhammer.

Total economy that makes the difference
Several housing associations and municipalities are finding that older fiber cement roofs are no longer watertight after 15–25 years. Steni Protego offers a better total economy compared to traditional solutions such as corrugated fiber cement and roofing felt, which require regular maintenance.
