This is why professionals such as engineers, architects, carpenters, stucco plasterers and plasterers refer to the guidelines issued by the WTA (Wissenschaftlich-technische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Bauwerkserhaltung und Denkmalpflege e. V.) and the ZVDH (Zentralverband des Deutschen Dachdeckerhandwerks e. V.), among others. As a builder, these guidelines will help you to understand and control the planning and installation of your Gutex wood fibre insulation even better.
If you'd like to find out more about our guidelines and treatment instructions, just read on!
The Central Association of German Roofers (Zentralverband des Deutschen Dachdeckerhandwerks e. V., ZVDH) brings together all the regional roofing associations and roofing federations in Germany. Its mission is to represent the interests of roofers. In addition, the ZVDH draws up professional rules, guidelines and working advice for roofers. Thanks to our experience, skills and products such asGutex Ultrathermin the event of a complaint about equipment, for example, we not only replace the equipment, but also cover the costs of dismantling and assembling it, as well as the cost of scaffolding if necessary.
The WTA (Wissenschaftlich-Technische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Bauwerkserhaltung und Denkmalpflege e. V.) aims to promote research and its applications in the field of building conservation and the preservation of historic monuments, and to pass on practical experience. Scientists and practitioners engage in an intensive exchange of ideas. Topics covered include wood and its protection, half-timbering and timber construction, as well as fire protection and questions of building physics. In addition, the WTA publishes fact sheets containing practical information on how to proceed, particularly during restoration work - from inventory and planning through to actual implementation. These are important guidelines of a best-practice nature.
It helps us to understand the hygrothermal behaviour of building components under natural conditions. For example, we use the WUFI (Unsteady Heat and Moisture Transport) programme from the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics. Thanks to our in-house expertise in this field, we can work with our partners to find the optimum solution for roofs and insulation.
Aspects of building physics are explained in a condensed, comprehensible form, and concrete guidelines are given for verification, including the physical behaviour of existing buildings.
For restoring, filling and coating half-timbered buildings and for fire protection of half-timbered buildings and timber construction elements. Here too, we are a reliable partner as a solutions provider, with innovative products ranging from restoration to fire protection.
If you want to make your dream home come true and build a new building or renovate an existing property, it's best to look into the regulations on insulating materials, DIN standards, the Thermal Insulation Ordinance, etc. sooner rather than later. After all, there are numerous directives from the legislator regulating the nature and use of insulating materials for your home.
Don't worry, we'll explain what you need to pay attention to.
