About THERMOPOR

THERMOPOR Mein Ziegelhaus GmbH & Co. KG, based in Warburg-Bonenburg, has been involved for decades in the development of backing masonry bricks and represents the interests of medium-sized brickworks throughout Germany. The company holds numerous general type approvals (aBG/abZ) from the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt) for precision bricks laid in thin-bed technique, block bricks and interior wall bricks, and licenses the products to affiliated brickworks in Germany. The product portfolio comprises filled and unfilled exterior wall bricks (including the THERMOPLAN MZ and THERMOPOR TV series, ISO-PD PLUS, ISO-B PLUS) as well as interior wall bricks (PHLz BW, PHLz EBS, PFZ) made of perforated clay bricks with void patterns HLzA, HLzB and HLzE. In addition to product development, THERMOPOR provides technical documentation such as product characteristics (compressive strength, fire behaviour), environmental product declarations (EPD according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804), declarations of conformity and processing instructions. The company also supports professional planners and private builders with free building physics planning tools (Thermal Bridges 5.0, Energy 20.20, Sound 4.0, earthquake software MINEA).
