Beaver

The classic for sophisticated and traditional roofs

The Biber is an excellent choice for roof designs that combine elegance, tradition, and versatility. It plays a central role, particularly in historic buildings, churches, castles, and half-timbered houses, as its versatile installation options—such as crown or double roofing—help preserve historic roofscapes.

Thanks to its variety of shapes - from semicircular to pointed to dovetail - and a wide range of surfaces such as smooth, engobed or glazed, it adapts to both traditional and modern new buildings.

  • When properly planned and installed, the system provides a rain-tight roof covering in accordance with applicable industry standards.
  • The striking design gives your roof a unique look
  • well suited for complex roof shapes such as dormers, domes, or valleys
  • Large selection of colors for individual design
  • Eaves, double and ridge beaver available
  • Reduction burning available

Brick diversity for a Berlin industrial monument - Meyer-Holsen at the Friedrichshagen waterworks

A project like this doesn't come along every day: we supplied tiles that had to meet the highest aesthetic and technical requirements for the refurbishment of the roofs of the historic pumping machine houses A and B of the Friedrichshagen waterworks in Berlin in line with the preservation order.

The monument preservation authorities set clear specifications: Tile shape, cut length and, above all, a natural color play of three different shades of red were to match the original covering as closely as possible.

We supplied the entire roof area of approx. 3,200 m²:

  • Around 50,000 hollow tiles for the main roofs
  • around 7,500 Sankt Moritz tower tiles for the characteristic tower surfaces
  • approx. 3,500 Mönch-und-Nonne bricks with a hand-stroke look for battlements
  • as well as numerous shaped tiles, ridge and hip tiles for elaborate details

Why Meyer-Holsen?
👉 "The bricks came closest to the historical original - this was the only reason we were able to issue the tender with material specifications."
- Ina Paul, Site Manager, Berliner Wasserbetriebe

We are proud to contribute our expertise to the restoration of this unique building in keeping with its listed status.
