Substrates

Compared to traditional wet wall solutions, our substrates are lightweight (thereby reducing installation costs and speeding up construction) and versatile - making them ideal for unique building designs as they are able to be curved and applied to different finishes including paint, tile, stone, and texture.

Metal framing

Our range of metal components and profiles allows the construction of drywall and ceilings to be done faster, more accurately, and cleaner than conventional methods. Also, this innovative framing can be engineered to suit a job site’s requirements while achieving global construction standards.

Interior finishes

Used for jointing, bonding, skimming, and creating textured finishes for building interiors. We boast a broad range of products for compounds, along with our extensive capability to formulate solutions according to your needs.

INNOVATION CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE

Behind every build is a place dedicated to innovation staffed by leading experts in the fields of material science, engineering (chemical, mechanical and civil), chemistry (physical, inorganic and analytical), and architecture.
