Solutions
Wolf Group is all around you in homes, offices, commercial buildings and factories. We offer construction and renovation solutions that solve the hydrothermal issues of buildings – heat loss, air-tightness, weather resistance, vapour-tightness, cold bridges and deformations – and therefore contribute to energy efficiency. In addition, the development of our products takes into account their durability over time and the contribution they make to a healthy indoor climate. Our philosophy is to keep people´s lives comfortable, safe and running smoothly.
Windows & Doors
One of the most complicated and demanding joints in construction is the window installation joint. Each product performs an important and specific role in achieving a correct and energy-efficient solution. Depending on the situation, every product can be used individually or in combination with others in order to obtain the best possible result and effect.

Roofs & Façades
There are many different types of façade: glass systems; precast concrete panels with various types of finish; brickwork and stonework; metallic cladding; tiles; stone veneer panels; and more. They seal exterior wall joints against weathering such as UV, rainwater and driving rain and against other factors like chemical and mechanical loads that could eventually cause damage.
Sealing exterior wall joints of facades against the influence of weather is very important not only for esthetical reasons, but also to protect the building structure and to save energy. UV radiation, humidity, driving rain and influences of various other factors such as chemical and mechanical loads may eventually cause damage. There can be many different façade types, for example glass façade systems, precast concrete panels with various types of finishes, brickwork and stonework, metallic cladding, tiles and stone veneer panels, etc.

Floors
Filling floor joints and affixing floor covering materials correctly is important not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to protect the structure of the building and save energy. UV, humidity, water, temperature fluctuations and the influences of various other factors such as chemical and mechanical loads could eventually cause damage. To achieve the required results and the longevity of floor joints, it is important to follow the general installation requirements.
Concrete flooring can be used either as the final flooring layer or covered with flooring material (e.g. carpet, tiles). A concrete floor with special treatment and finishing is also an option in modern home interiors. Concrete floors with shrinkage joints are commonly used for basements, garages, warehouses, patios, and utility areas. Such flooring is durable, long-lasting and easy to clean and maintain.

Parquet is definitely one of the most traditional floor coverings, which gives the room an additional elegance associated with real wood. Parquet is durable and can handle heavy loads and traffic. On the other hand, wood is a natural material that expands and contracts as the humidity balance and temperature of the room change. This must be taken into account when installing the parquet floor.

Soft floor covering materials, sold in big rolls are often the best choice – natural linoleum is suitable for children and allergic people, vinyl and PVC as durable and water-resistant flooring materials are practical in kitchens and public spaces, roll-materials can be installed quite fast and easily. Here are some suitable products and tips.

Sanitary
Building and renovating bathrooms and other sanitary rooms subject to higher levels of humidity and higher temperatures requires special attention. The combination of moisture and warmth creates the ideal living conditions for mould, while splashes of water on the floor or wall can damage the building structure. At the same time, a bathroom is a very personal space that needs to be clean, healthy and comfortable.
When building or renovating wet rooms, special hydroinsulation products should be used to avoid moisture penetrating into structures and mould forming. Hydroinsulation products are applied directly to the floor or wall (i.e. on stone, concrete, waterproof veneer or another substrate) under the finishing layer (i.e. ceramic tiles, paint or other coverings).

Connecting joints need to be dealt with before finishing work is undertaken. The purpose of filling these joints is not only aesthetic but also to protect the building’s structure from the negative impact of moisture and temperature changes.
01
Filling low-movement joints before finishing
There are different joints in bathrooms that need to be protected from moisture, and even water. Some of these joints may be wide or movable, or even both. The sealing of bathroom joints depends on a number of factors and it is important to consider them all.

Some materials used in interior design can be expensive and delicate, and high levels of humidity must be taken into consideration in all work, even simple adhering.

Traditional cast iron bathtubs are common in many countries. As they are convenient, keep the water warm for a long time and are sometimes difficult to replace, it is worth renovating old bathtubs. This is not overly complicated and represents an exciting DIY project.

Decoration
There are plenty of tasks that need to be done both before and after finishing work and painting – for example, priming and strengthening the surfaces, improving sound and thermal insulation and filling joints and cracks. This also includes installing decorative elements and sealing.
Finishing works are the final step in construction or renovations, in which the interior appearance is finally formed. In many cases, the overall quality of a building is judged on the execution of its finishing. Wolf Group offers a range of elastic and crack-proof products to prepare surfaces ahead of finishing work. If used together and in the correct sequence, these products will guarantee attractive, extra-smooth, long-lasting interior surfaces. Below we show you how to achieve a high-quality interior appearance.

Fireproofing
The Wolf Group portfolio includes products and solutions that make building materials and constructions even more resistant to fire. Construction foams, sealants and mastics with special fire retardants are required in the installation of fire doors and windows and when reinforcing the fire compartments around pipe penetration points. Using the right solutions will help prevent the spread of flames, smoke and toxic substances in the event of a fire, thereby saving lives, property and the environment. All of our products and solutions are tested according to internationally recognised standards.
