In the charming village of Bioley-Magnoux, perched on a majestic hill, stands a château that combines history and ecological transition. The owner, keen to preserve the historic character of his estate while embracing green solutions, opted for VDiamond Terracotta solar tiles to cover the roof of the Dîme, the château's annex building.

VDiamond Terracotta tiles were installed on the sun-drenched south-facing side of the Tithe roof, ensuring maximum exposure for optimal solar energy production. The tiles were perfectly integrated, respecting the historic aesthetic while offering enhanced energy efficiency. Thanks to innovative techniques and the meticulous attention to detail of the roofer, every detail of the roof was conscientiously worked on to guarantee an installation in line with current standards, while respecting the recommendations of heritage protection authorities.

This approach is part of a drive to reduce the château's ecological footprint, particularly since the owner replaced his oil-fired heating system with a heat pump, which consumes considerable amounts of electricity. The energy produced by the solar tiles not only helps to power the estate, but also offsets the increased energy demand of the new heating system.

This project is a fine example of how heritage and modernity can work in harmony. Continuing his commitment to the environment, the owner is now preparing to switch to an electric car, taking another step towards a sustainable lifestyle.
