The turn of the year
BOEHME® SYSTEMS can draw positive balance and feels confident about the future
The year draws to a close. Although the pre Christmas season and the turn of the year usually are times for conscious reflection, the focus often is different for many places. There are projects, which have to be concluded before the end of the year; the new year has to be planned best as possible in advance amongst many other things – and this is no different at BOEHME® SYSTEMS. Nevertheless we want to take this opportunity to pause for a moment, to look back and to then look ahead into the future.

A roof that seems to be magically covering itself
Rapid construction progress in Linz, Austria
After the planning and preparations for the restoration of a roof for a detached house were finalised a few weeks ago in Linz (Austria), the installation of the shingles from BOEHME® SYSTEMS is now also almost complete. The shingles used in this instance are cocu®PV. With this photovoltaic element that can be shaped into many different dimensions, a robust roof covering that is very attractive to look at can be produced in record time - and at the same time this roof also produces energy - thanks to integrated photovoltaics. The rapid construction progress is primarily due to a very straightforward assembly mode: the individual shingles are simply slotted into one another and are fastened with BOEHME® SYSTEMS clips.
