Group 11 / 16

Building materials, ceramics and insulation

For residential, commercial and infrastructure projects, we buy cement, ceramics, sanitary ware, thermal and waterproofing materials and natural stone from the manufacturer and ship them directly to the country where the construction site is located.

Overview

This group covers materials used in building construction, from the structural shell to finishing work. Bagged and bulk cement, bricks and roof tiles, ceramic floor and wall tiles, sanitary ware such as washbasins, toilets and bathtubs, stone wool and glass wool, XPS and EPS boards, bituminous waterproofing membranes, and processed marble and natural stone are supplied on request. Our main buyers are contractors, DIY and home improvement chains, building materials wholesalers, importers and property developers.

The dimensions, grades and performance values in the project specification are compared against the manufacturer's technical data sheet. For ceramics, size, thickness, surface finish, abrasion class and batch number are checked; for insulation, density, thermal conductivity and fire class. Before loading, pallet, packaging and quantity checks are carried out, and the stacking arrangement of fragile products is documented with photographs. Container, bulk or truck options are considered for heavy and bulky loads, and the goods are shipped to the buyer's country without entering Türkiye.
