Insulation products for external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) are components for integration into the system. They are fixed to the substrate using adhesive mortar and/or mechanical fi

Insulating render systems contain, apart from the usual render components, aggregates such as polystyrene, perlite or an aerogel. The insulation performance achieved in this way is comparable to that

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing systems are composed of an in situ insulation layer made of spray polyurethane foam and a surface protection layer. The systems are used for roofs that are walk-o

Construction techniques and construction products (usually XPS, EPS or foam glass boards) for perimeter insulation of walls and basement floors in contact with the ground must meet special requirement

Insulation products under load-bearing elements (outside the waterproofing) must not only have special thermal insulation properties, but also meet structural requirements. Frequently used products in

Non-combustible building materials ensure that, when exposed to fire – especially an advanced or fully developed fire – the relevant parts of the structural works do not contribute to the fire. Reacti

Modular scaffolds are scaffolds in which standards, ledgers and diagonal braces are connected through special connections made of multiple components, called module nodes. Working scaffolds in accorda

Working scaffolds in accordance with DIN EN 12811‑1 serve as auxiliary equipment for reaching parts of the structure that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to access in order to perform work

Prestressed concrete hollow core slabs are precast concrete slabs with cavities running the full length of the slabs which are reinforced solely with prestressing steel. The precast slabs are joined a

The work area 'Strengthening of concrete structures with textile-reinforced concrete' comprises kits for retrofitting aimed at increasing the flexural strength of concrete structures (strengthening) w

Penetration seals are used in fire-stopping and fire-sealing measures when services, such as pipes and cables, penetrate fire-resistant walls and/or ceilings. Penetration seals prevent the spread of f

With their very low thermal conductivities, insulation products play an important role in thermal insulation and in improving the energy performance of buildings. A multitude of different materials ar

For these facade systems, the external wall cladding is fixed mechanically to the subframe, e.g. with the help of screws, rivets or clip fasteners. The facade systems can be executed as ventilated or

Translucent roof or wall systems are composed of single- or multi-layer flat or curved plastic sheets generally supported by aluminium support profiles and their fasteners. They are used both for roof

Facade systems with bonded facade cladding are ventilated external wall claddings where the cladding panels are bonded to the subframe profiles using an interference fit. The subframe is made of metal

Moisture-variable diffusion-inhibiting layers are films regulating moisture. They are used, for example, in flat-sloping or pitched, fully insulated, non-ventilated roof constructions with metal roofi

Gypsum plasterboards and gypsum fibre boards are used in timber construction as cladding for walls and floors. Walls, roofs, facades
