About company

The Braas trademark belongs to the international concern Braas Monier. Its history dates back to 1953. It was then that German engineer Rudolf Braas, together with the British company Redland, created a company specializing in the manufacture cement-sand tiles. Now the BRAAS Monier Building Group corporation is one of the world leaders in the roofing materials market. It brings together more than 100 manufacturing enterprises in 33 countries of the world. More than 100 million sq. m. are produced annually. m of tiles. Structural units Groups of companies are located in various regions of Europe, Asia and Africa. In 1995, the German-Russian company Braas - DSK 1 was created, which operates in various regions of Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar, etc.). There are 2 large factories operating on the territory of our country that produce natural Braas tiles (since 1996 - in Moscow, since 2005 - in Krasnodar).

Vast experience in the production of ceramic, cement-sand tiles and roofing accessories, developed over decades in all divisions of the company, are being successfully implemented in Russia. BRAAS tiles are a combination of the most modern technological solutions, traditional German quality and great design. During the existence of the concern, the number of BRAAS tiles produced in Germany exceeded 15 billion pieces. Russian enterprises produced and sold more than 125 million cement-sand tiles.

Production of natural tiles Braas

Buying Braas tiles from the Stroymet company means getting roofing material highest quality at a reasonable price.

CPU tiles, manufactured using existing technology, were first made in 1919 in the UK by Redland (currently part of the BRAAS MONIER Building group, which also includes BRAAS-DSK1 Russia). Redland provides a 100-year guarantee on its shingles. Guarantee period expires only in 2019, while it has lain on roofs for 96 years. The climate of Great Britain is less severe than Russia, but more humid - an island state, you understand, and deep temperature transitions through “zero” also occur there. But, even under these conditions, I repeat, our British colleagues have a 100-year guarantee. I think this speaks to good performance such roofing material, like cement-sand tiles.
In Germany, a similar plant was launched in 1954; our German colleagues provide a 30-year guarantee on CPU tiles. But in Germany, it certainly didn’t lie on the roofs for 100 years. In Russia, our plant started up in 1996, and our roof tiles lasted only 18 years. This period is too short for final statistics.
But, if we talk about technical and operational characteristics, then it is important to note that in fact it does not matter in what climate the tiles are used, what is important is the transition of temperature through the zero mark, and not just a transition, but, as mentioned above, a deep transition, i.e. a decrease to “good » cons. So, we test our CPU tiles for these transitions at intervals of 3 years (the test is carried out by VNIISTROM), and these tests show that our tiles can withstand 1000 such transitions. I would like to note that in Russia only we (the BRAAS-DSK1 company) conduct such tests.
Long-term observations of our Western colleagues on the changes occurring with central tiles during their use on the roof show that erosion (thinning) of tiles occurs at a rate of 1 mm every 40 years. The tiles are suitable for use under these conditions as long as they can withstand the roofer’s weight of 100 kg, and the tiles will withstand this weight even if they are thinned to 6 mm. If the initial strength of the tile is 200 kg per 12 mm of tile thickness, then through simple mathematical calculations it turns out that wear of 6 mm will be achieved in 240 years (6mm x 40 years). Thus, the calculated service life of the tiles greatly exceeds the 100 years we stated.
As for ceramic tiles, the formation Russian market happened only 10-12 years ago, and it’s too early to talk about the experience of using these tiles in our climate. We rely only on the experience of our colleagues from other countries. The warranty on German ceramic tiles BRAAS is 30 years. Other manufacturers give up to 50 years. The experience of using tiles in other countries suggests that they can be used in different climates.
