External thermal insulation composite systems, or ETICS for short, are multi-layer systems used to insulate the external wall of a building. They consist of insulation boards bonded to the substrate u

Grout is used for filling ducts for internal bonded tendons or sheaths for external tendons. It serves to establish a form and interference fit between the concrete and the prestressing wires and to p

Injection products and systems are used for repairing concrete structures. A distinction is made between different repair objectives. The filling objective 'Closing (crack width control by filling)' i

Racking systems are structures for storing and retrieving goods in warehouses. The goods to be stored are usually placed on pallets or in grid boxes. Metal products and construction techniques

Small wastewater treatment systems serve to purify domestic foul water from buildings with up to 50 inhabitants. The wastewater is treated using physical and biological processes. Small wastewater tre

Leakage indication systems serve to detect liquids hazardous to water that have escaped from tanks or pipes into the collecting device. In this case, a visual and/or acoustic signal is triggered. Leak

Joint seals are mainly used for elements made of waterproof concrete in accordance with the DAfStb guideline on waterproof concrete structures to seal the joint against soil moisture as well as pressu

Waterproofing beneath ceramic tiling bonded with adhesives refers to waterproofing systems consisting of multiple components (tile adhesive, surface waterproofing, sealing tapes and collars for flashi

Tanks and collecting devices made of plastic are especially suitable for liquids hazardous to water because they often have a more favourable corrosion behaviour than metal tanks and hence are resista

Thermoplastic tanks are especially suitable for storing certain liquids hazardous to water because they often have a more favourable corrosion behaviour than metal tanks and hence are resistant to var

Single-skin tanks made of metal (mainly steel) for the above-ground stationary storage of liquids hazardous to water are available in various volumes and shapes. Common variants include: vertical cyli

An inverted roof is an arrangement in which the thermal insulation system is positioned above the roof waterproofing. Due to this special 'upside down' arrangement, both the insulation products (XPS a

Jet our high-pressure grouting serves to produce structural elements (jet-grouted elements and/or jet-grouted bodies of soil made of jet-grouted elements) in the soil. These procedures are soil-streng

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

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
