Plastering clay building boards

Clay and clay construction

in the skilled trades – naturally successful

There is now consensus in the construction industry that working with clay is ecologically sound. More and more builders are demanding ecological building materials, want to build sustainably and create a healthy living environment for themselves and their families.

As a tradesperson, you often no longer need to 'sell' the advantages of ecological building and clay as a building material to your customers. You simply need to offer a good solution. And whether you are a beginner or a professional, you rightly want a pragmatic solution that does not require a lot of explanation.

Skilful use of clay building materials

build, renovate, beautify

As a craftsman or craftswoman, you are the person your customers trust, regardless of whether you are a professional or whether it is your own project and your customers are your family. That is why we have a large network of trading partners that you can rely on. Many of these trading partners have been trained by us, so they are very knowledgeable and can support you with the right advice and the right clay products.

In addition, we would like to inspire you with our passion for clay as a building material and have compiled a wealth of information that may be helpful to you. Browse our website and be inspired by a building material that is simply the leader in terms of naturalness, durability and ecological effectiveness.

We are always looking for experienced craftspeople

Clay brings people together. For the long term.

Clay construction is more than just a craft. It is a way of life.

It is a commitment to ecological construction in its purest form. More and more craftspeople are dedicating themselves to sustainable construction and promoting building ecology.

We want to further strengthen this development and are therefore connecting "our" craftsmen and women with dealers in their region. This allows us to support the synergies between trade, craftsmanship and production – a personal commitment from our team that, together with the associated advice, ensures valuable cooperation, especially in the commercial property sector.

All clay products today must comply with one of the DIN standards applicable in this area and are therefore often compatible with each other. So no matter what your question is: if you only use one of our products, we won't leave you out in the cold.

Wissen, Können und Wollen

 

Top-class clay construction

– the conluto network

As a tradesperson, you have the choice of which product to use. With conluto, you have a strong partner at your side and access to a network that trains, advises and supports you.

You will find the following professional groups in our network:

 

Clay builders

... are skilled clay builders or skilled clay builders DVL (through further training in cooperation with chambers of crafts and the umbrella organisation Lehm).

Initially, clay construction was pioneering work, often carried out by career changers who could only prove their professionalism through references. Today, skilled clay construction workers are a legally recognised professional title, and successful completion of the training enables them to set up their own business.

Plasterers, stuccoers, tilers (m/f/d)

... give the rooms they renovate, preserve and redesign an individual touch.

At conluto, we see them as designers who want to do good for a building by skilfully combining traditional and modern techniques and focusing on a targeted selection of products.

In our often very collaborative work with plasterers and painters, for example, the wall and surface filler has been tried and tested many times and has proven itself over many years.

Craftsman (m/f/d) with associated trade

Als Produzent beliefern wir ausschließlich den Baustoffhandel. Dort finden Handwerkerinnen und Handwerker neben unseren Produkten die kompetente Beratung, die Basis für das Gelingen des Bauvorhabens ist. Und doch gibt es eine Ausnahme: Handwerkerinnen und Handwerker, die ein dynamisches Handelsgeschäft betreiben, werden von uns beliefert. Eine, wie wir finden, praktische und ehrliche Lösung.

Drywall installers or drywall fitters

... fill a shell with life and implement the desired interior design. With our products (e.g. clay building boards, clay bricks and rammed earth), we offer you an ecological alternative to familiar building materials.

The use of clay as a building material is not usually part of this training. However, our wide range of products also gives you the opportunity to offer the quality you are accustomed to with the precision you are accustomed to. And all this with ecological building materials.

Bricklayer, carpenter and joiner (m/f/d)

... stand for stability and durability in construction. They lay the foundation for what will later become a living space.

We owe them, their experience and their innovative spirit many positive experiences in large-scale projects, whether in straw bale, clay or rammed earth construction.

For bricklayers who want to break new ground, rammed earth walls and clay bricks are the most common items.

Painters

... coat, paint, renovate and preserve, are often also involved in the restoration of historic buildings. They have the difficult task of finding the right material for each project and thus bear a great responsibility for preserving the building fabric.

We would like to encourage this professional group to discover nature's colour palette for themselves and their customers and to create a healthy, allergy-free living environment – with clay paints, fine plasters, wall and surface fillers.

Craftsmen and self-made professionals

... are career changers who try things out, learn and simply do things with great commitment.

Our clay building materials, with their wide range of colours and textures, give you creative freedom and allow you to become clay professionals as you gain experience.

Through advice, networking, worksheets, tutorials and training courses, we want to help you look back on your building project with pride.
