| Roof+Wall 2006 in Cologne generates momentum for all of Europe This year's Roof+Wall will be held in Cologne from 15th to 18th February. Germany’s roofing materials market is the largest in Europe. Virtually the entire range of roofing, wall and insulation technology will be on display at the forthcoming international business platform in Cologne. It’s not only German regulations and products that are in demand abroad, but also the work of German companies. The UK-based premium automaker Rolls Royce, for example, commissioned German companies to carry out extensive roof greening on 40, 000 m² of roof space at its new production halls in Chichester. Queen Elizabeth II attended the inauguration of the new premises. German expertise with regard to green planning as well as rainwater and upkeep management is in higher demand than ever before, and even the roof of the next Olympic Village in Beijing (for 2008) will be made by German companies. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
