System Technology for Balconies, Terraces and Indoor Areas
Gutjahr Systemtechnik specializes in system solutions for the safe drainage, ventilation and decoupling of coverings – on balconies, terraces and outdoor stairs as well as in indoor areas. Since 1989, the company based in Bickenbach has been developing complete systems, including surface drainage systems (AquaDrain), drainage grates and door threshold systems, balcony profiles and channels made of aluminium or stainless steel, elevated pedestal and frame systems, sheet and liquid-applied waterproofing membranes, epoxy resin and cement drain mortars (MorTec), decoupling mats, ultra-flat shower channels, and underfloor heating systems (IndorTec) for new construction and renovation. The systems are tailored to the target groups of tile layers, landscaping contractors, roofers and floor layers. Reference projects range from the Scharbeutz pier and the cantilever slab on the Cologne Rhine embankment to the Volksparkstadion Hamburg and the Badener Hütte in East Tyrol. The offering is complemented by the KOSY configurator for planning and material calculation, specialist seminars, application technology consulting and an international network of distribution partners.
