Raficlad panels for market boxes Waterlooplein

The market boxes are like the “home” of the market vendors, from where they display their goods during the day and store them safely in the evening. Thanks to the robust nature of the Raficlad composite panels, the market stalls are highly vandal-resistant. The indirect lighting behind the composite panels acts like a lantern effect and gives Waterlooplein a safer feeling even in the darker hours of the day.

The new look of Waterlooplein was designed in consultation with users and residents. In order to give the stony square a more green look and taking into account the surrounding high-rise buildings (most of which are homes), much attention has therefore also been paid to the top view: the roofs have been provided with a natural covering on which plants will also grow. Thus, the market boxes have a friendly appearance from all sides.

In total, there are now 34 market stalls all over Waterlooplein. Each market box is 6 meters wide, 2.75 meters deep and 3 meters high. They are scattered across the square in two clusters of eight stalls, two clusters of six stalls and three clusters of two stalls. The clusters of two are along the waterfront.

The market vendors can open and close their market stalls themselves: the hydraulic canopy is electrically controlled by remote control. A market stall during the day, an illuminated market square at night.
