Development and testing of construction products and structures

We deal with the complex development of building elements. We carry out load tests in a mechanical laboratory, thermal and humidity behavior tests, acoustic or fire tests. We are dedicated to load-bearing elements and their connections, infill structures, windows, etc.

Envilop

Envilop is a proposal for a solution for a lightweight panel-type perimeter skin based on wood. The light envelope was designed as part of the Intelligent Buildings project (CZ.1.05/3.1.00/13.0283) from the Operational Program Research and Development for Innovations of the Ministry of Education and Culture, which is financed by the EU and the state budget of the Czech Republic.
