Low maintenance and costs

Our high-quality membrane materials and post-production galvanized welded steel frames deliver durability over time, making the cost of maintaining Rubb construction buildings and shelters more economical compared to conventional structures.

Energy-efficient roof membranes

Translucent membranes allow natural daylight to illuminate the workspace while the white roof surface reflects heat. Optional Thermohall® insulation minimises heat transfer, prevents condensation and virtually eliminates thermal bridging and air infiltration.

Multiple door options

Rubb offers a variety of different warehouse and shelter door solutions. They can be selected and designed to suit all small and large opening requirements. This flexibility ensures that our clients get the best option for their selected Rubb construction building type, depending on their operational needs.

Rapid construction, installation, and relocation

Rubb construction buildings and shelters can be quickly erected, dismantled, and relocated due to module pre-fabrication. Rubb can provide site supervisors or fully dedicated construction teams to complete any custom project.
