COMPANY

Create living spaces together - individual and secure

We create living spaces. With thought-out, smart and environmental –friendly waterproofing solutions.
 

Since its foundation in 1852, Büsscher & Hoffmann has pursued three goals:

  • Protection of the building structure from water
  • Increase the durability of buildings
  • Securing individual living space for people

During these 170 years, the originally simple waterproofing with bituminous roofing felts had been developed into high-quality waterproofing solutions made of modified bitumen and FPO/TPO

For flat roofs, green roof and pitched roofs. For constructions and bridges. For basement and cellar.

Improving people's quality of life by designing the living space for people individual and secure is the guiding principle of our daily actions.

LIVING SPACE

The living space is residential area, working space and leisure area equally, as well the cities we live in. Carefully and thoughtfully designed, buildings achieve a positive contribution to the well-being of their users. Green roofs in particular have an important effect to an improved climate and living space in our cities.

 

Reducing the impact of land use by optimized utilization of roof areas as additional recreational space and green areas. Biodiverse green roofs create habitats for flora and fauna, reduce noise and pollutants, and act as natural air conditioners due to their ability to store water.

 

TOGETHER

Our close relationship to customer can also be expressed in figures: More than 60 specialists in domestic and export markets are employed in sales and technical support. They actively support in all questions of planning, application and the interaction with other branches every day.

 

16 warehouses in Europe and our own truck fleet for Austria ensure that our products are in the right place at the right time. We deliver quick, reliable and with a high degree of flexibility "directly on the roof".

DESIGN

In cooperation with our customers, we develop the best possible waterproofing solution tailored to the individual requirements and the architecture. The building and the application are considered as a holistic system.

 

We ensure a smooth interplay and match of single products, structural components and branches. From planning to the realization and beyond.

INDIVIDUAL

Life has many strings and the wishes, expectations and requirements for a building are correspondingly diverse. Whether angular, round or offbeat - with our Know-how in planning and execution, we always find a solution so that our customers' wishes come true.

 

 

 

SECURE

Buildings and structures are permanently exposed to wind and weather, are used intensively and are adapted repeatedly during the lifetime. The waterproofing is in particular important; therefore we pay also big attention to the small details.

 

Our product design ensures safe and efficient work, the quality of our products ensures a long life duration, an integral planning offers opportunities for later adaptations like photovoltaic modules, urban gardening or similar.

TRADITION & INNOVATION

Some may say 170 years of the past.

We say 170 years of experience for the future.
