Building and Construction Materials

Download Building and Construction Materials:-Building material is any material which is used for construction purposes. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, and wood, even twigs and leaves, have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacturing of building materials is an established industry in many countries and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific specialty trades, such as carpentry, insulation, plumbing, and roofing work. They provide the make-up of habitats and structures including homes.

Flanders: land of bricks and mortar:-People say that Belgians are born with a brick sitting in their stomachs. Yet, judging by the range of building materials featured in this publication, things may get a little cramped in the average citizen’s digestive system, what with all the other materials Flanders has on offer.

These often are innovative products and construction technologies that are adaptable and responsive to the changing needs of home owners as to their comfort, safety, health and living environment or to the pressures on the built environment (energy efficiency, environmental sustainability...).

This sourcing guide offers and unrivalled product mix: aggregates, bricks, pavers, flags, roofing materials, precast concrete elements, steel building components, access flooring, cladding, fibre cement products, concrete formwork shuttering, drainage systems, reconstructed and engineered stone, composite concrete floors, hollowcore slab production equipment, masonry and concrete reinforcement...

By no means does this guide pretend to offer a complete and exhaustive listing of all Flanders-based suppliers of each of the products under review.

Not by far... In fact it is only meant to be a first “instalment” of what is bound to become your definitive guide to sourcing suppliers of high-performance building materials from Flanders.
