Our Comprehensive Solutions for Sustainable Construction
True to its purpose, Making the World a Better Home, Saint-Gobain designs and manufactures solutions for construction and renovation that enhance quality of life while respecting the environment.
Our close customer relationships and leadership in light and sustainable construction enable us to deliver high-performance, durable, and integrated systems tailored to the challenges of each project. We support our customers at every stage of construction to create more comfortable, resilient buildings and more sustainable infrastructure.
Exterior Solutions for Higher-Performance Buildings and More Efficient Construction Sites
Our Expertise :
We offer multi-material solutions to deliver the complete building envelope.
Our innovative technologies transform walls into intelligent thermal shields.
Our complete Enveo lightweight façade systems, for both renovation and new construction, provide thermal and acoustic comfort, lightweight design, environmental benefits, fast installation, and cost efficiency.
Our External Thermal Insulation Systems (ETICS) integrate high-performance mineral and bio-based insulation solutions, facilitating energy-efficient building renovation.
Our next-generation ECLAZ® glazing offers the perfect balance between solar gain and solar protection. ORAÉ®, the first low-carbon glass on the market, enhances building envelopes while enabling architects and contractors to meet the most advanced environmental standards.
In North America, our impact- and moisture-resistant roofing and siding systems, developed through the expertise of CertainTeed, ensure durability and weather protection.
Impact:
Our optimized construction systems combine the full range of Saint-Gobain expertise to improve thermal, acoustic, and visual comfort, enhance building durability, reduce construction time, and help achieve the most advanced energy standards worldwide.
Interior Solutions for Optimal Comfort and Sustainable Well-being
Our expertise :
We provide a comprehensive range of interior solutions.
Our insulated partition systems combine Placo® and Gyproc® plasterboards with ISOVER mineral wool to deliver outstanding acoustic and thermal performance.
Combined with our Activ’Air technology, our plasterboards and plasters improve indoor air quality by reducing formaldehyde concentrations by up to 70%.
Our blown wool insulation provides an ideal solution for quick and efficient attic insulation.
Our Ecophon acoustic ceilings and panels improve sound comfort and user well-being in offices, hospitals, and schools.
Finally, our complete compartmentation systems — including GlasRoc fiberglass-reinforced plasterboards, fire-resistant joints and non-combustible insulation, as well as fire-protection glazing — provide an effective barrier against the spread of fire.
impact:
Our interior solutions promote everyday well-being by creating healthier, safer, better-insulated, and more comfortable environments. They also support projects targeting the highest international performance and environmental quality standards, such as WELL Building Standard and BREEAM.
Construction Chemicals: Extending Lifespan and Reducing Carbon Footprint
Our expertise :
At the core of materials innovation, we are redefining construction standards.
Thanks to the unique formulations of our concrete admixtures and low-carbon cement additives, our structural repair mortars (Chryso & Weber), waterproofing solutions (Fosroc & GCP), as well as our sealants and adhesives, we optimize performance and extend the lifespan of all types of buildings and infrastructure.
We also design high-performance flooring systems — from leveling compounds to decorative and industrial coatings — complete flat roofing systems combining insulation and waterproofing, and aesthetic, high-performance façade renders and mortars that are easy to apply.
Our impact:
Our solutions significantly reduce the carbon footprint of concrete structures, extend the durability of buildings and infrastructure, and greatly enhance their overall performance.
Materials Distribution and Services Close to Customers and Job Sites
Our expertise:
We ensure fast and reliable material supply while offering a wide range of essential services to building professionals.
Through a strong local network, expert teams, and logistics adapted to on-site constraints, we guarantee smooth supply chains and technical support throughout each project.
We also develop digital tools to simplify our customers’ daily work.
- Our Solu+ configurator enables contractors to quickly and easily estimate project costs.
- Our Calumen configurator simplifies specification by allowing customers to explore and compare the best glazing solutions for their projects.
Through its distribution subsidiaries, Saint-Gobain also actively contributes to training tradespeople in sustainable construction and energy renovation.
Impact:
We secure project continuity, reduce waiting times, and improve operational efficiency on job sites. This logistical performance, combined with high-quality technical advice and optimized digital tools, enables companies to increase productivity and deliver projects on time.
