Natural Stone
Natural stone is a popular and versatile material used for facades, paths and squares, as well as in furniture. It is robust in use and available in almost any shape or colour. CE-marking, i.e. attestation of conformity (AoC) with the relevant European standards, is mandatory when placing natural stone and products made from it on the entire European Internal Market, so that this very wide range remains easy to grasp and safe in use.

Facades
Glass, natural stone, concrete, metal or ceramics are used in the construction of a wide variety of facades. We have many years' experience of testing, supervising, appraising and certifying the materials, components and constructions used.
Do you want to build a new façade or have you one already? Are you well-briefed on the current regulations and requirements? Do you know what condition the facade is in? Are you aware of your statutory obligations where traffic safety is concerned? Is your building or facade subject to a preservation order? If you need to answer "no" to at least one question, or "yes" to the last, or if you don't feel confident about answering, then we are the right partner for you.
What we can offer you:
- testing the construction materials used
- expertise of the construction
- proposals for refurbishment (incl. energy saving measures, "energy passport")
- on-site monitoring
- scheduled monitoring of your facade
- proof of stability
- services approvals for the German market, ETAs for others
- services for approvals for anchoring systems
- for facade mapping
