Bomb-Blast-Test
With regard to different threat scenarios in public buildings, we handle challenging projects such as banks, airports, consulates, administrative buildings and foreign authorities, tailored to international or country-specific standards and individual design specifications. The focus here is particularly on personal protection, not only due to the immediate blast effect, but also in particular due to the risk of splinters or flying debris.
We develop special, customisable products for you that meet the highest safety and quality requirements and have proven themselves in practical tests:

• ceiling and partitions panelling
• floor systems
• facades
• doors
• waste bins
