At that time certainly <br />nobody thought that Insight would <br />become a medium so rich in tradition. <br />Even though we have found our way into <br />long established digital communication, <br />also serving you via our website, our <br />Newsletter, our Facebook page and our <br />YouTube channel, the printed format for <br />information is highly significant for us. <br />Written for you by our employees, we pick <br />on group themes in order to present short <br />and interesting topics to you. That was <br />always the case. Today’s Insight is however <br />still a new start. The current editorial team <br />has honed the layout and wants to make <br />Insight even more interesting and exciting. <br />We look forward to suggestions and tips <br />and wish you enjoyment whilst reading.</p> <p>Ralph Schomburg</p> <p>3</p> <p>AQUAFIN®-RS300 – <br />new benchmarks for mineral-based <br />waterproof slurries <br />SCHOMBURG sets new benchmarks with the <br />further development of the self cross-linking, reactive <br />setting waterproof barrier AQUAFIN®-RS300. Our <br />mineral-based waterproof membrane offers users an <br />enhanced spectrum of application – from bonded <br />waterproofing beneath tiles to hybrid structural <br />waterproofing.</p> <p>This waterproofing membrane with its <br />multi-faceted range of uses, is the result of <br />an innovative and analytical market <br />development. The new waterproof <br />membrane exhibits unique hybrid <br />properties. The high performance <br />spectrum encompasses use as structural <br />waterproofing in ground contact areas, <br />building skirt areas, cinfined-area <br />waterproofing <br />including <br />bonded <br />waterproofing beneath wall and floor <br />tiling in heavy duty wet interior and <br />exterior areas such as swimming pools, <br />swimming pool surrounds and terraces. <br />Due to its self cross-linking behaviour, <br />AQUAFIN ® -RS300 is not reliant on <br />laboratory conditions beyond the 20 <br />degree mark and 50% relative humidity. <br />The intelligent cross-linking system of the <br />reactive slurry chemically draws water <br />from the waterproof film and as a result, <br />dries out independent of the weather <br />conditions. Laboratory data collected <br />shows that even at +4 °C and 90% <br />relative humidity, it dries out within 24 <br />hours. These product properties allow a</p> <p>4</p> <p>tensile performance to be achieved only <br />after one day, whilst classical mineralbased slurry systems may need up to 28 <br />days.</p> <p>but in damp or cold times of the year there <br />were often delays with mineral-based <br />waterproof membranes and high-build <br />bituminous waterproof membranes.</p> <p>HYBRID STRUCTURAL <br />WATERPROOFING</p> <p>COMBINED WATERPROOFING – <br />MINERAL-BASED COATING / <br />BITUMINOUS WATERPROOF <br />MEMBRANES</p> <p>With structural waterproofing in contact <br />with the ground, the mineral-based reactive <br />waterproof membrane offers a multifaceted application spectrum with hybrid <br />properties as it can also be used in thick <br />coats, similar to high build bitumen coatings. <br />Here the pleasant and effortless application <br />performance of the bitumen free reactive <br />waterproof membrane offers clear <br />advantages to the applicator. The known <br />problem of pinhole formation with <br />bituminous waterproof membranes under <br />strong sunlight is almost eliminated. <br />In addition, fast track construction - often <br />required - is achieved so below grade <br />structures can be back-filled and adjoining <br />coatings completed early. As a rule this has <br />not been a problem in the summer months</p> <p>INSIGHT 2014</p> <p>A well established construction method is <br />a waterproofing detail with a mineralbased waterproofing system followed by <br />surface waterproofing with a high-build</p> <p>AQUAFIN ® - RS300 – smooth <br />application and high grab.</p> <p>bituminous coating. At the wall to <br />foundation slab junction, penetrations <br />and joints, a mineral-based waterproof <br />slurry is used to protect against rear <br />moisture penetration. In these areas, <br />waterproof tapes and gaskets are <br />frequently incorporated. Here the mineralbased reactive waterproof membrane <br />offers the advantage of rapid crosslinking, when compared to standard <br />waterproof slurries, which, due to their <br />methodology, only harden by drying and <br />loss of moisture. AQUAFIN® -RS300, on <br />the other hand, easily dries even in the <br />absence of air. In practice this means that <br />the <br />surface <br />applied <br />waterproof <br />membranes can dry safely and without <br />delay when climatic conditions are <br />unfavourable. <br />The same goes for the building skirt. <br />In <br />accordance <br />with <br />guidelines, <br />waterproofing must be extended to 30 <br />cm above ground level. It is also possible <br />to carry out additional works, such as <br />rendering or dressing (e.g. EWI), in a <br />timely manner. <br />WATERPROOFING ACCORDING TO <br />DIN 18195 <br />Currently the use of mineral-based surface <br />applied waterproofing systems is not <br />covered in DIN 18195. <br />AQUAFIN® -RS300, as a waterproof <br />membrane, has been certified (General <br />Technical Certificate) with official <br />technical approval for this use and is <br />therefore admissible but must be <br />contractually declared as a deviation <br />from DIN 18195. In this way it is possible <br />to produce a comprehensive mineralbased waterproof membrane, which <br />meets the terms of DIN 18195. Due to <br />rapid construction progress, protective <br />layers such as e.g. perimeter insulation, <br />can be installed early and the basement <br />or below grade structure is back-filled. <br />WATERPROOFING CONTAINERS <br />Mineral-based waterproofing systems <br />have proved their worth for centuries, <br />waterproofing containers from the inside. <br />The main problem with containers</p> <p>however are time consuming forced <br />ventilation measures with classical <br />waterproofing products. As a rule <br />temperatures from approx. +10 °C at 7580% relative humidity are met. The new <br />waterproof membrane from the East <br />Westphalian building product specialist <br />has an advantage due to its reactive <br />cross-linking, as the necessary drying <br />phase can be noticeably reduced. Project <br />times and costs for condensing driers etc <br />can be noticeably minimized. <br />INTERNAL WATERPROOFING <br />When carrying out internal waterproofing, <br />the pores in the substrate are completely <br />filled with water and the wall temperature <br />is generally low. There is mostly a high <br />humidity in the internal area. In this case, <br />the cross-linking process of standard <br />waterproof slurries is very slow. <br />Installation of restoration plasters too <br />early can lead to hollow areas and <br />cracks in the plaster and consequential <br />leaks in the waterproof membrane are <br />developed. Even in this application, the <br />rapid drying of the waterproof membrane <br />offers the advantage of rapid construction <br />progress together with an increase in <br />application security. This leads to a <br />minimization of damage risk. <br />BONDED WATERPROOFING WITH <br />TILES <br />Carrying out bonded waterproofing is <br />often subjected to difficulties influenced <br />by climatic conditions. Surrounding water <br />vapour saturation especially in closed</p> <p>Waterproofing build-up with AQUAFIN ® - RS300 <br />and a Wiesbaden channel.</p> <p>to form a film, even in the absence of air. <br />The consequences are exceptional <br />advantages for the applicator and <br />security for the user with sustainable <br />continuation of use within the building. In <br />this way with structural waterproofing <br />measures, insulation panels can be <br />bonded only after six hours and the <br />building structure can be back-filled 24 to <br />48 hours later, dependent on site <br />conditions. Detailing at transition areas <br />can be optimally carried out with <br />waterproof <br />tapes <br />and <br />gaskets. <br />® <br />AQUAFIN -RS300 dries to form a <br />resilient and seamless film within a short <br />time, even in the absence of air, as is the <br />case beneath waterproof tapes. Even <br />with health and safety issues, the use of <br />AQUAFIN® -RS300 is a good decision. <br />The exceptional tensile values, high <br />stability under water pressure and <br />excellent water-tightness values cater for <br />secure application and performance. <br />60% greater flexibility compared to <br />similar products as well as the ability to</p> <p>AQUAFIN ® -RS300 – <br />Security in application and use <br />containers or low lying swimming pool <br />tanks, necessitate laborious and time <br />consuming forced ventilation measures <br />with classical waterproofing products. <br />When using AQUAFIN® -RS300, these are <br />noticeably minimized. Detail formation at <br />transitional areas can be optimally carried <br />out with waterproof tapes or gaskets. <br />AQUAFIN ®- RS300 dries after a short time</p> <p>install tiles and other finishes early, sum up <br />the complexity of this innovative <br />waterproofing product. These advantages <br />combined with exceptional application <br />properties, such as easy, creamy smooth <br />trowelability, the possibility to adjust for <br />brush or spray application herald a new <br />unerring age of structural waterproofing. <br />Stefan Flügge</p> <p>5</p> <p>Structural waterproofing brochure <br />»Construct.Waterproof.Competency« – presented hot off the press.

Furthermore the <br />rapid hardening smoothing compound exhibits great non-sag performance.</p> <p>Levelling irregularities can be carried out <br />at thicknesses from 2–50 mm in one <br />application on walls and floors. The <br />smoothing compound is for use internally, <br />externally and also in wet areas. It wins <br />with its low consumption through the use <br />of special lightweight fillers. This provides <br />for a crystalline binding smoothing mortar, <br />which is simple and smooth to work. It has <br />a special ternary binder system, so by the <br />time SOLOCRET-50 is ready to receive <br />finishes, it contains no excess water, which</p> <p>6</p> <p>would delay <br />shrinkage.</p> <p>setting</p> <p>and</p> <p>promote</p> <p>Once hardened the smoothing compound <br />demonstrates low shrinkage and <br />dimensional stability.

A key aspect of <br />research and development was with <br />reactive surface protection systems. <br />The project team, comprising product <br />management and development, focussed <br />on the problems professional applicators <br />face with reactive resin coatings. This <br />sparked the idea to develop an epoxy</p> <p>the desired RAL tone, which was hush hush <br />at the start. It is frequently encountered that <br />the substrate, the room and material <br />temperatures deviate from those stated in <br />the technical data sheet and that the <br />coating material reacts differently. Hence <br />the time given for receipt of foot traffic, is <br />different. At high temperatures this timing is <br />earlier than at lower temperatures. This can <br />forcibly lead to nullification of the <br />applicator’s time management, despite <br />their high levels of experience and</p> <p>ICS – the intelligent solution with Know How <br />resin based primer, which would also serve <br />as a wearing coat. This relieved the <br />professional applicator and their <br />employees, who hold the rake, of the <br />planning of subsequent work such as post <br />installation of a top layer, sealing, anti-slip <br />build-up or the incorporation of movement <br />joints. This material was to show its <br />intelligence in the form of colour changes in</p> <p>8</p> <p>subsequent applications must be delayed. <br />The process security that this coating offers, <br />is also intelligent. The installer can know the <br />drying state of the area, irrespective of the <br />surrounding conditions, and therefore know <br />the construction progress exactly. Only <br />once adequate drying has been achieved <br />will the primer reach its originally ordered <br />RAL colour. As soon as this is reached, the</p> <p>INSIGHT 2014</p> <p>Component A before addition <br />of component B.</p> <p>area can be trafficked by foot or further <br />work can continue. SCHOMBURG ICS <br />shows that this intelligent solution not only <br />supports the experienced applicator and <br />offers Know How but that they are also <br />available to give advice as an experienced <br />project partner. <br />Denise Mahlmann</p> <p>SCHOMBURG supports gold medal winner – <br />German tile fixer wins »WorldSkills 2013«</p> <p>World champion Björn Bohmflak (second from right) with our Managing Directors Alexander Weber (left) and Ralph Schomburg (right). <br />Also pictured is German champion Felix Kranz (second from left) and the Jogi Löw of tile fixers “National Coach” Günther Kropf (centre).</p> <p>The gold medal for the skill of »tile fixer« at <br />the previous year’s World Skills, which took <br />place from 2nd to 7th July 2013 in Leipzig, <br />was landed by 22 year old Björn Bohmfalk <br />from Großefehn in lower Saxony. He is the <br />first tile fixer to be named European <br />champion and world champion at the <br />same time. After the competition Bohmfalk <br />was happy and proud to have solved the <br />difficult task. After many hours of training <br />successfully completed, he felt best</p> <p>equipped. »Nevertheless I never expected <br />gold. It is simply incomprehensible.« During <br />the four day competition the 24 tile fixers <br />had to tile two walls and a floor. On one <br />wall was the Brandenburg gate with its <br />columns representing a building frontage. <br />On the second wall was a map of Germany <br />in the national colours of black, red and <br />gold. Along the line of the borders, many <br />challenging cuts were to be made. To finish, <br />a floor still had to be cut and laid with the</p> <p>text »2013«. During the exhibition at the <br />start of last year in Munich, Björn Bohmfalk <br />and his team also visited our exhibition <br />stand and he was greeted by company <br />management. <br />Equipped <br />with <br />a <br />SCHOMBURG promotional pack, he <br />could successfully prepare for the <br />tournament. <br />For years we have supported the tile fixer’s <br />trade association and therefore help <br />achieve such successes. With 1004 <br />participants, »World Skills 2013« in Leipzig <br />was the largest trade competition of all time <br />and, under the patronage of Federal <br />Chancellor Angela Merkel, took place <br />again in Germany for the first time in 40 <br />years. Competitors from 53 countries put <br />on their best performance and fought for <br />gold, silver and bronze in 46 official contest <br />disciplines as well as three presentation <br />contests. <br />The best of the best from the whole world, <br />which could be no older than 22, showed <br />their extremely professional abilities. <br />Jörg Pohlmann</p> <p>POS support <br />SCHOMBURG expanded its POS <br />support from the beginning of the year. <br />With immediate effect, all market partners <br />and selected distributors can avail <br />themselves of the SCHOMBURG pallet <br />display as part of the POS sales action. <br />This distinctive »SCHOMBURG water <br />droplets look« designed display allows <br />various SCHOMBURG products to be <br />attractively presented. Heavy packaging</p> <p>such as buckets and bags can be placed <br />beneath. There is place for smaller <br />packaging up top, such as e.g. small <br />bags, silicone cartridges or waterproof <br />tape. <br />The display can be built in under 5 <br />minutes without any tools. It is available <br />for Euro and US pallets. <br />Jörg Pohlmann</p> <p>9</p> <p>Professional instrumentation <br />in R&D</p> <p>Dusting the sample to be <br />microscopically analysed, with gold.</p> <p>Scanning electron microscope with <br />electron-optical columns and operating unit</p> <p>The pictures taken at 40 times magnification <br />with the electron microscope of the <br />SCHOMBURG analytical department <br />show, in an impressive way, the difference <br />between a SCHOMBURG restoration <br />plaster and a common plaster/render.

In addition to current <br />information on the sales and marketing <br />topics, the international sales team also <br />presented current product innovations, <br />both theoretically and practically. <br />Amongst the guests were senior <br />management and managing directors of <br />SCHOMBURG subsidiaries, joint venture <br />affiliated <br />companies <br />and <br />other <br />international distribution partners. After <br />two exciting days where discussions</p> <p>Over 40 international market partners came <br />to the annual Export conference in Detmold.</p> <p>rained and experiences were swapped, <br />the delegates took with them many new <br />impressions and ideas for the successful</p> <p>marketing of our products and systems in <br />their own sales regions. <br />Holger Sass</p> <p>11</p> <p>SCHOMBURG focuses on protecting man <br />and the environment <br />Sustainability – not only of existing structures, <br />but also environmental protection. This is the <br />SCHOMBURG group‘s focus. To achieve this, <br />a range of our products underwent strict testing.</p> <p>Solar energy system on the roof of our production building.</p> <p>These tests resulted in various certificates <br />and approvals such as the EMICODE® <br />seal. EMICODE® is a protected <br />trademarked name identifying installation <br />products, adhesives, and construction <br />products that offer the greatest possible <br />health safety factors against indoor air <br />contamination. The basis of the <br />EMICODE® system is an exactly defined <br />test chamber examination to DIN ISO <br />16000 and strict categorization criteria. <br />The products tested are free from solvents <br />and hazardous materials. <br />Many SCHOMBURG products already</p> <p>12</p> <p>carry the EC1 logo or even EC1-Plus. <br />SCHOMBURG consciously undertook <br />these harsh tests and burdens to provide <br />optimum protection to applicators and <br />end users. Also SCHOMBURG products, <br />which have the VOC-France identification, <br />have special environment friendly <br />properties. The emissions limits are stricter <br />than the US LEED values for VOC <br />emissions. <br />SCHOMBURG sets new benchmarks <br />with regard to the requirements for <br />sustainable construction and economy. To <br />this belongs particularly the health and</p> <p>INSIGHT 2014</p> <p>comfort of the end user. This is, above all, <br />assured through the use of low emission <br />products. <br />In addition to the existing low emissions <br />levelling compounds SOLOPLAN® -30 <br />and ASO® -NM15, SCHOMBURG now <br />offers a complete system for the installation <br />of tiles, which excel with the highest <br />classification EC1 or EC1-Plus as <br />“Extremely low emissions” according to <br />GEV criteria. <br />From multi-purpose primers through <br />levelling compounds, waterproofing <br />products through tile fixing products with</p> <p>the low dust flexible adhesive LIGHTFLEX® <br />to grouting with CRISTALLFUGE®, <br />completing the range, SCHOMBURG <br />laid down a further milestone in early <br />2013. Through our membership of the <br />DGNB, we made a clear commitment to <br />the production of environmentally friendly <br />building products. The German Association <br />for Sustainable Construction – DGNB for <br />short – was founded in 2007 by 16 <br />initiators from varying specialisations within <br />the construction and real estate industry. <br />The goal was to stimulate sustainable <br />building stronger into the future. Today the <br />association has over 1200 members <br />throughout the world. <br />Sustainability is more than just a word for <br />the DGNB: the members understand the <br />commitment of the whole association to <br />adopt responsibility for current problems <br />such as climate change and the shortage <br />of resources instead of passing them on to <br />future generations. Sustainable buildings <br />can make a decisive contribution. <br />According to the Federal minister for the <br />environment, around a third of Germany’s <br />resource consumption is caused by <br />buildings. Waste accumulation or CO2 <br />emissions are similarly valid. Targeting high <br />quality demands when constructing and <br />using buildings, strengthens the positive <br />effects on the community and nature and <br />minimizes the negative effects. The goal of</p> <p>the DGNB is to plan, to operate and to use <br />the urban environment to the health of all so <br />that the interests of future generations do <br />not suffer – as far as possible without <br />noticeable restrictions on the interests of the <br />current generation. <br />MODERN POWDER PACKAGING <br />FOR EVEN BETTER QUALITY <br />For a variety of products, plastic bags are <br />also of ecological merit. Hygroscopic <br />and, above all, rapid setting powder <br />products need clean, airtight packaging, <br />which is protected from damp. This <br />protection is afforded by our plastic sacks <br />when compared with conventional paper <br />bags. As these are also equipped with a <br />plastic inner liner, we even achieve an <br />improved eco-balance with our <br />packaging. In the previous year, another <br />packaging line was commissioned, so <br />that even more products are available in <br />plastic bags. In addition to those</p> <p>Ralph Schomburg appraises the <br />expansion of the plastic bag filling line.</p> <p>reduced to a minimum. Moisture <br />penetration and the resultant lumping of <br />products are almost eliminated. There is <br />no dusty storage caused by non airtight <br />valves and the risk of damaged</p> <p>Sustainability is more than just a word. <br />packaging during transportation is <br />reduced to a minimum. Long shelf lives as <br />well as longevity of product properties <br />are guaranteed with the new,</p> <p>advantages in the filling process, this <br />innovation offers advantages during <br />storage and also when handling on the <br />building site. As it involves a closed <br />system, dust evolution during production is</p> <p>ind</p> <p>d mank</p> <p>ment an</p> <p>environ</p> <p>A</p> <p>it · SCH <br />rhe <br />O <br />he</p> <p>s</p> <p>BB</p> <p>Ihre Si <br />für <br />c <br />ft</p> <p>n of the</p> <p>Protectio</p> <p>w e m is</p> <p>g</p> <p>e – geprü <br />em</p> <p>v er</p> <p>y lo</p> <p>io n</p> <p>URG-Sy <br />st <br />MB</p> <p>EPDs <br />SCHOMBURG fulfils important environmental criteria.</p> <p>13</p> <p>recyclable plastic bags and consequently <br />give great customer value – for distributors <br />worldwide and equally for installers. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN <br />PRODUCTION <br />The Detmold production plant was <br />geared towards strict environmental <br />protection. The practically emissions free</p> <p>production plant is situated in a <br />residential area and to the South, <br />borders the strawberry fields of an <br />agricultural business. A large proportion <br />of the company’s energy requirements <br />are produced from their own solar <br />panels. <br />Furthermore with the aid of an intelligent <br />heat reclamation concept, waste heat</p> <p>from the production process is used to <br />heat the production buildings. <br />We have now collated SCHOMBURG’s <br />engagement in the protection of the <br />environment and man, into a current <br />brochure. This can be ordered via our <br />Homepage. <br />Jörg Pohlmann</p> <p>Winner of the »Swimming pool of the year« <br />chosen in Berlin <br />As part of the evening’s activities at our <br />swimming pool forum in Berlin, the winner <br />of the »Swimming pool of the year 2013« <br />competition was awarded a prize. <br />Together with »Fliesen und Platten« <br />magazine, we brought the competition into <br />life last year.

We are expanding our <br />international references with the Aquapark <br />in Minsk and the Freestyle centre (also in <br />Minsk). As part of these projects, in June <br />2013 we arranged a swimming pool <br />forum in the »Johannes Rau« business <br />centre in Belarus. The topic focused on <br />was waterproofing in combination with <br />tiles in swimming pool construction. Guest <br />speakers were also invited. Günter Schulze <br />and Igor Sementsav from Agrob Buchtal <br />reported on the build-up of different <br />swimming pool edge details and <br />introduced new product lines from Agrob</p> <p>Site visit as part of the <br />Architect’s forum.</p> <p>Buchtal Byaroza ceramic. Other <br />presentations considered the topics »water <br />treatment« and »standards«. In addition, <br />international references from our »swimming</p> <p>Aquapark, Minsk.</p> <p>pool construction« project management <br />were introduced. In conclusion to the <br />interesting technical presentations, there <br />was an animated discussion, where no <br />question remained unanswered. <br />Among the almost 80 guests were <br />Architects, Planners, Managing Directors <br />of application companies and swimming <br />pool and sauna companies. These were <br />joined by a selection of representatives <br />from public authorities and other official <br />positions as well as various editors from the <br />technical press. All guests voiced positive</p> <p>opinions on the recently created function. <br />On the second day of the forum, the <br />Aquapark and freestyle centre in Minsk <br />were visited. <br />The series of presentations was continued <br />in the second half of the year with another <br />forum in Kaliningrad. There, the topics <br />»structural waterproofing«, »system buildup on balconies and terraces«, »swimming <br />pool construction«, »waterproof concrete« <br />and »GEPOTECH« were presented to <br />Architects and Planners. <br />Andrej Tschalenko</p> <p>Aquapark, Minsk.</p> <p>15</p> <p>The second swimming pool <br />forum in Berlin <br />Our swimming pool forum in Berlin took place on the <br />20th and 21st of March 2014. Around 100 delegates <br />were updated about current requirements for companies <br />involved in construction and swimming pools.

SCHOMBURG had set the target <br />to network better with the participants and <br />ensure effective communication. The forum <br />served as the perfect platform to achieve <br />this. <br />Erich Zanocco, officially appointed and <br />sworn expert, from Freudenstadt, showed <br />ways for the „trouble-free“ construction of <br />swimming pools. He allowed the listeners</p> <p>implementation of waterproofing measures <br />in swimming pools with bonded waterproof <br />membranes, which are created with <br />reaction resins. Above all, the focus was on <br />testing the waterproofing measures. He <br />illustrated the possibility to dispense with <br />destructive material thickness testing. <br />He demonstrated the virtues of the <br />electrically controlled waterproof system</p> <p>The SCHOMBURG team.</p> <p>Erich Zanocco - officially appointed and sworn expert.</p> <p>DENSARE® -2002 from SCHOMBURG <br />has such possibilities. Deputy Assistant <br />Under-Secretary Hans-Dieter Hegner from <br />the Federal Ministry for the Environment, <br />Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety <br />gave a lecture on sustainable construction <br />in Germany. Here he illustrated that <br />sustainable building is more than just <br />observing energy efficiency demanded, <br />and introduced different evaluation and <br />certification methods in his presentation. <br />Architect Tobias Reckert from the Architects <br />Veauthier Meyer agreed to a special <br />feature. He presented on swimming pool <br />renovation of historic buildings referencing <br />successfully completed projects.</p> <p>17</p> <p>SCHOMBURG App now <br />also available for iPad <br />To have the most important information ready directly on the <br />building site and during meetings with customers – with the <br />SCHOMBURG App, you are now also always up to date with <br />your iPad.

He also impressed the <br />guests with practical demonstrations on an <br />actually rather theoretical topic.</p> <p>Exciting discussions during <br />the lecture breaks.</p> <p>Amongst other focal points on the agenda, <br />there were water technology and project <br />workmanship. The speakers talked about <br />exceptional requirements and challenges. <br />The two exciting days on the topic of <br />swimming pool construction was hosted by <br />Chief Editor of the DBZ (German <br />construction magazine), Burkhard Fröhlich. <br />Further information and photos on the <br />event can be found on the home page of <br />www.schwimmbadforum.com. <br />Jörg Pohlmann</p> <p>18</p> <p>»We have consciously developed a <br />comprehensive App, which offers more <br />than just product information«, according to <br />Managing Director Ralph Schomburg. <br />Positive feedback on the iPhone variant, <br />encouraged us to also bring out an iPad <br />version for the market. <br />The App impresses with a multitude of <br />useful functions, which goes way beyond <br />the provision of data. <br />The highlight of the App is an integrated <br />consumption calculator. In comparison <br />with other calculators, this offers exact <br />results specific to products and considers <br />information on application thickness, <br />notched trowel size, joint width, joint length <br />and tile size for calculating the surface <br />area consumption. As a result, the user <br />doesn’t only get the total amount but also <br />the appropriate amount of packaging <br />required exactly. But that’s not enough. You <br />can find distributors, who stock the items, <br />from the distributor list and, if desired, the <br />distance from your current position. <br />Of course you also get all the necessary <br />information to directly contact the <br />SCHOMBURG technical team. With <br />integrated EAN and an additional QR <br />code reader, the user can exactly identify <br />SCHOMBURG products and access <br />relevant information (brochures, safety <br />data sheets, technical data sheets and <br />descriptions ...). To alternate, grab the <br />different reference photos on the start <br />page – a different photo appears with <br />each start. <br />The App is a so-called native IOS-App. <br />This is clear and highly user-friendly and <br />offers improved speed compared with a</p> <p>INSIGHT 2014</p> <p>Web-App. The App is free from the App <br />store.
