Legal requirements for thermal insulation

From GEG to DIN-Norm - everything important at a glance

Whether you're planning a new build or renovating an existing property, you should take an early look at the current regulations on thermal insulation. Whether it's the roof, the facade or the cellar, the Law on Energy in Buildings (LENB) sets out the requirements that insulation materials must meet in order to minimise energy loss and comply with legal standards. Many of the technical details relating to insulation are also defined in DIN standards.

We manufacture high-quality products, but to achieve the desired construction result and avoid damage to the building, even the best product needs to be optimally planned and implemented.

The guidelines issued by the WTA (Wissenschaftlich-technische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Bauwerkserhaltung und Denkmalpflege e. V.) and the ZVDH (Zentralverband des Deutschen Dachdeckerhandwerks e. V.) will help you achieve this.
