Building materials

Metal sheets, plastics, bitumen, wood, bricks, adhesive, screws, insulation, colors ... many different materials are used in construction applications. Our laboratory services work with all these materials, and provide reliable assessments about product quality. We provide accredited test methods as well as individually developed methods.
