We stay inside construction and building materials. Staying focused helps us ask factories the right questions instead of just repeating their claims.
Travertine, Marmara and Afyon marble, limestone and basalt — slabs, tiles, window sills and cut-to-size façade elements. Turkey is a major natural-stone exporter; where traceability from quarry to block matters, we ask the supplier for it.
Floor and wall tiles, porcelain stoneware, large-format panels, plus basins, WCs and taps. We ask for the EN 14411 classification and slip-resistance data before quoting, so you can check the product against Nordic requirements.
PVC, aluminium and steel window and door systems, fire doors, curtain-wall and ventilated façade profiles. Thermal performance matters most in the Nordics, so we look at U-values and tested system data first.
Grey and white cement, tile adhesives, grouts, screeds, waterproofing membranes and admixtures. High-volume, freight-sensitive goods where full-truck and container planning has a big effect on the landed cost.
Reinforcement, profiles, welded mesh, scaffolding components, fixings and architectural hardware. We request mill certificates (EN 10204 3.1) before any trial order.
EPS, XPS, mineral wool, plasterboard and profile systems. Nordic energy requirements are strict, so we check declared thermal conductivity and reaction-to-fire class against the harmonised standard, not the brochure.
Türkiye has a large manufacturing base for construction products and is in a customs union with the EU. For a Nordic buyer the main reasons to consider it are distance, capacity and the Customs Union.
Distance can matter more than the price list suggests. Road freight from Türkiye usually takes days rather than the weeks of sea freight from East Asia, which can make smaller orders practical and mistakes quicker to correct. How much of this applies depends on the product, the supplier and the route, and we look at it case by case.
The list above is where we work most, not a boundary. If it is a construction product, ask.
