Drywall is one of the most used buildings materials in the world due to its versatility, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. Having the correct technique and conditions are vital to a successful construction with drywall, here are some things to consider.

“The Polygon Model was developed to be in the minds of all our employees. It is really about our values, our products, and our overall integrity”, Axel Gränitz explains.

With the electrical prices skyrocketing, the need to cut expenses this winter is higher than ever. A common way to save a few is to completely turn off the heat and electricity in summerhouses and other rarely visited properties. However, there is a great risk that moisture damage, mould growth and frost damage will occur, and the consequences can be very costly. With extensive experience in Temporary Climate Control, Polygon helps you manage the challenge.

Since 1889, the Harvard College Observatory in Boston has been gathering glass photographic plates of our atmosphere. Today, the collection consists of more than half a million images. That is 25 percent of all the astronomical photographic plates existing in the world. In January 2016, disaster hit! A water leak from a pipe caused major flooding in the facility where the precious plates were stored, affecting the entire glass database – all 165 tons of it. There was no back-up, so humanity’s only record of a century’s worth of sky was at stake. Harvard’s gut reaction was to try and manage the restoration on its own. But after going through a few boxes of plates they realised they needed professional help.

Whenever disaster strikes, Polygon colleagues from all over the world come together and support each other. Normally it’s Germany that assists other countries, but when extreme weather affected them with heavy rain and hail, they reached out to their colleagues in Denmark.
