Floor coatings are applied to load-bearing substrates. Such coatings – for example, based on synthetic resin – can be used immediately after curing. They can be made up of multiple layers and differen

Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings are covered by EN 14041:2004/AC:2006 and include, amongst others: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and rubber floor coverings: This type of floor covering usual

Other concrete construction techniques include, e.g., knife-edge bearings and ring beams. A knife-edge bearing is used to introduce vertical and horizontal forces into sheet piling profiles and steel

Universal adhesives are used across large surface areas to bond floor coverings to the substrate. They can consist of one or two components. Acrylate dispersions, epoxides, polyurethanes, silane-modif

Parquet adhesives are used across large surface areas to bond parquet or wood flooring to the substrate. They can consist of one or two components. Acrylate dispersions, epoxides, polyurethanes, silan

DIN 4426 stipulates that anchoring devices for personal fall protection equipment as well as rope and rail systems need to be provided for building maintenance. Since there are no product standards or

Precast concrete products are products made of concrete, reinforced concrete or prestressed concrete which are manufactured at a location other than the final place of use. Precast concrete products a

For these wall construction techniques, precast concrete elements fitted with reinforcement are filled with in situ concrete. For applications comprising precast elements, lattice girders may be used

These floor systems are composed of prestressed precast slabs finished with a structurally contributing in situ concrete overlay. Construction techniques for floors and walls, precast concrete product

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

Smooth and profiled metal components are frequently used to execute roof or wall claddings. Alongside the classic trapezoidal sheet, individual solutions are also frequent. Metal products and construc

Tension rod systems and cable tension members are used, for example, for trusses, suspensions, cross bracing and wind bracing, particularly in engineering works (new structures) but also in the repair

Other tendons include special prestressing components, e.g. for realising innovative construction techniques based using prestressing systems, also in combination with other manufacturing and reinforc

For external post-tensioning, the tendons lie outside the cross-section of the concrete member, but inside the envelope of the structure. These post-tensioning systems are used for prestressing concre

For internal unbonded post-tensioning, the prestressing tendons are arranged in a duct filled with a special corrosion protection system. These post-tensioning systems are used for prestressing concre

For internal bonded post-tensioning, the tendons are arranged in a sheath (tendon duct) which is grouted after the prestressing force has been applied. These post-tensioning systems are used for prest

Galvanised or stainless steels can be used to improve the corrosion resistance of steel used for the reinforcement of concrete members. The advantage of using reinforcing steel with improved corrosion

Welded fabric and steel wire mesh products are prefabricated reinforcements consisting of longitudinal and transverse wires welded together. They are used to reinforce slab-shaped concrete members. We

This work area covers load-bearing plastic elements for swimming pools and water slides, in particular elements made of fibre-reinforced plastics. Plastics construction

Membrane structures are composed of thin, fabric-like materials. Due to their low self-weight, they are suitable for spanning large areas. They are used, e.g., as space-dividing, thermally insulating

A sandwich panel consists of two faces and a supporting core. The supporting core is made of a thermally insulating material. It is connected to the two faces via an interference fit such that the thr

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
