Practical knowledge drawn from over 30 years’ experience
In our guide to building, renovation and interior fit-out, we share the specialist knowledge and experience we have gained through many years of practical work. We explain materials, applications and typical issues in a clear and, as far as possible, practical way – so that you can make well-informed decisions and avoid mistakes when selecting and working with materials.

Yosima Fine-Finish Clay Plaster
With Yosima clay design plasters from Claytec, you can design your interiors to the highest standard and bring the authentic colours of nature straight into your home. The system is based on 146 exquisite shades, whose excellent colour depth and brilliant iridescence arise purely from the properties of natural clays – completely free from artificial dyes or pigments. In addition to the five basic colours (red, yellow, green, brown, black) and nine elegant Classic shades, you can choose from seven harmonious colour palettes ranging from warm Golden Ochre to earthy Sienna Brown. For an even more personalised texture, all colour variants can also be enhanced with five different texturing additives. This creates unique surfaces with a tangible depth that not only delight the eye but, as a natural building material, also actively contribute to a healthy and soothing indoor climate.

reed
As one of the oldest renewable raw materials, reed is among the most sustainable natural building materials for a healthy, eco-friendly home. The organic structure of reed stalks combines outstanding thermal insulation and moisture-regulating properties with an excellent carbon footprint for modern house building. Whether used as vapour-permeable interior insulation, a stable plaster base or for heritage-sensitive renovation – the material can be worked efficiently without the need for specialist tools. Thanks to the complete absence of chemical additives, the insulation material remains 100% compostable and actively promotes a pollutant-free, allergy-friendly indoor climate. This guide offers you factual and practical advice on how to make the best use of reed-based building materials for your construction or renovation project.

Guide – Practical knowledge and product information
In our guide, we aim to share our experience and expertise in the same way that we ourselves need it in our day-to-day work: clearly, honestly and as close to real-world practice as possible. At the same time, you’ll find further information here on products, materials and manufacturers that we deal with in our day-to-day business.
Our aim is twofold: on the one hand, we want to explain practical concepts and provide guidance on common questions. On the other hand, we want to present products and manufacturers in more detail – not as advertising, but by providing information on their strengths, the applications they’re designed for, and what to look out for when making a choice.
What’s important to us is that we come from a background in the trades ourselves. We are qualified tradespeople and have not only learnt the basics in theory, but have also gained practical experience from the very start of our training. This experience now spans over 30 years. As a result, we are familiar with many typical questions, mistakes and differences encountered in day-to-day work and can contextualise information from the perspective of actual practical application.
Many decisions in construction, renovation and fitting-out do not depend on a single product alone. The substrate, combination of materials, installation and the overall structure often all play a part. That is why we do not just explain what a product can do, but also when it is best used, how it differs from other solutions and what particular attention should be paid to in practice.
We also take a closer look at manufacturers. We’re not just interested in the brand name, but in the systems on offer, how the products work together and the applications for which they’re best suited. In doing so, we combine many years of practical experience with technical expertise and our day-to-day handling of the products in our range.
This guide is designed to help you better understand materials, products and manufacturers, make sense of the bigger picture and make more informed decisions. And if you still have any questions after reading it, you can contact us directly at any time – some things are easier and clearer to sort out in a face-to-face conversation.
