Permit Requirement for Design-Relevant Elements

In Leuk's old town zone, Article 54 of the building and zoning regulations requires all building applications to be submitted to the cantonal heritage protection commission and the cantonal heritage conservation authorities for comment. All building elements, materials and colours are subject to a permit there, to the extent that they help determine the architectural design.

A screen frame mounted on the outside in a different colour changes the appearance of the window and can fall under this requirement.

Screens on the Inside

A system fitted on the inside in window colour barely changes the appearance of the window from outside. I provide advice and measuring up in the same way as for any order for Made-to-measure insect screens in Upper Valais, but here I pay particular attention to an unobtrusive installation.

In Leuk's old town zone, I therefore prefer to suggest roller, pleated or tensioned-frame systems for the inside. If you would like a frame that is visible from outside, I clarify this with the municipality beforehand. I clarify other visible installations on the same old town facades in a similar way, for example with Bird deterrence Leuk.

Process

My Process in Leuk's Old Town Zone

Frequently asked

Questions about Made-to-measure insect screens in Leuk

I cannot say that in general terms. Under Article 54, all building elements, materials and colours in the old town zone are subject to a permit, to the extent that they help determine the architectural design. I clarify with the municipality in advance whether a screen falls under this, especially for a frame that is visible from outside.
