When applying floor construction techniques comprising lattice girders, the floor is constructed from precast concrete slabs, lattice girders as reinforcement and an in situ concrete overlay. Precast

Surfaces for sports areas are single- or multi-layer floor systems with possible sport-relevant or protective features as well as other technical properties. Selection of the design, including the cov

Metal products and construction techniques

Impact sound insulation products are placed under floating screed or used as part of suitable floor systems to improve the impact sound insulation of the floors. Usual delivery forms for the products

Pipe insulation products are used to insulate heating distribution and hot water pipes as well as cooling distribution and cold water pipes in buildings in accordance with the Buildings Energy Act (GE

These fasteners are used for rear fixing facade panels to the subframes of external wall cladding systems. The load-bearing parts of the fastener are made of stainless steel. The deformation-controlle

DIBt grants general construction technique permits (aBG) for floor and wall construction techniques which significantly deviate from the Technical Building Rules or for which no generally recognised t

Due to their thermally insulating effect, fire-protective render systems increase the fire-resistance duration of the clad components. The render system consists of a dry mortar, which is mixed with w

Reaction coatings are fire-stopping and fire-sealing products which, when exposed to high temperatures in case of fire, start reacting creating a thermally insulating effect which increases the resist

Intumescent products are fire-stopping and fire-sealing products which foam up or expands permanently when exposed to high temperatures which creates a fire-sealing effect. The expanded product seals

Ablation coatings are fire-stopping and fire-sealing products which are activated when exposed to high temperatures due to their chemical compositions. Chemical and/or physical reactions are triggered

Masonry mortar or bonding agents serve to produce masonry from masonry units. In most cases, masonry mortars are covered by EN 998-2. Masonry

Reaction resin concretes or reaction resin mortars are used for strengthening and repairing timber structures, where applicable in combination with textile-reinforced rebars. Timber construction

Prestressing steel bars are used in various prestressing systems for concrete structures. Prestressing steel bars are manufactured in hot rolling mills (by quenching, cold-drawing or additional temper

Prestressing steel strands are used for prestressing structures. A prestressing steel strand is made from a number of wires twisted together in the same direction and with the same lay length. The str

Prestressing steel wire is used for prestressing concrete structures. Prestressing steel wire is made of wire rod which is either manufactured by cold-forming and subjected to a finishing thermo-mecha

Membranes for use as roof or wall underlay are installed underneath the roofing of pitched roofs or underneath the external wall cladding. They serve as an additional rainproofing measure to prevent t

Flexible sheets for concrete waterproofing are used as an additional waterproofing measure for waterproof concrete systems. For this, the flexible sheet is inserted into the formwork prior to concreti

Joint sealing tape is used to seal joints between windows and facades or facade joints for protection against wind and driving rain. It is usually compressible to compensate for temperature-induced fa

Liquid applied roof waterproofing kits are usually multi-component systems and are applied in liquid form in multiple layers. After curing, they form the roof waterproofing. Waterproofing of buildings

Waterproofing slurries are used for waterproofing of buildings. Differentiation is made between mineral-based waterproofing slurries (rigid or flexible) and polymer-modified thick coatings. In additio

Masonry wall elements are room-height and predominantly room-width prefabricated elements (including parapets and gables). The individual masonry wall elements are manufactured at the factory from mas

Masonry is made from masonry units bound by mortar or other bonding agents and possibly other accessories. Different techniques are used to produce masonry for different application areas. In many cas

Glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) rebars are one example of non-metallic rebars. They are serrated to ensure sufficient bonding with the concrete. Reinforcements made of glass fibre reinforced pla

Decorative wall coverings in roll or panel form are primarily applied to interior walls, partitions or ceilings for decorative purposes. They can be made of a variety of materials (e.g. vinyl, foamed
