Renatus Hero Banner - Version 2

Retrofit measures

Our skilled team of in-house architects and retrofit assessors work collaboratively to design and specify the right solution. Whilst known predominately for bricks and roofing products, wienerberger will source, where relevant, products suitable for the retrofit from our sister companies, FloPlast, Building Product Design, Maincor and Pipelife, as well as specify products from third party suppliers that fall outside of our portfolio to meet the upgrade requirements.
