Quality control at Aqua House
Exactly !
At Aqua House nothing is leftto chance quality control
starts with the choice of supp-
liers. For all components and
materials needed for the sys-
tem, Aqua House specifies
strict standards that are con-
trolled regularly. All objects
undergo strict quality con-
trols and are delivered with
the CE-certificate (CE -
European Community). The
technological process is in
accordance with specifica-
tions. While manufacturing,
there are tests at all critical
stages using exactly defined
protocols for measurements.
When mounting and cutting,the cutting accuracy is adjus-
ted for the accurate type of
glueing and is tested after
every hardening process. The
final control is made by
experienced technicians and
last but not least by an inde-
pendent authority. Further-
more, Aqua House engaged in
a partnership with the
University of Rostock as inde-pendent institute for testing.

Into the finest detail...
The revolutionary plate production To fulfil the high quality
standards of the makers of
Aqua Houses, new ways
had to be explored. No
European plate production
was able to meet the pres-
cribed standards for quali-
ty and price. So Aqua
House built its own plant
for the manufacturing of
plates. The epoxy resin tab-
le, 25 metres long and 2,5
metres wide, is the largest
vacuum laminating table in
Europe. The vacuum- and
temper technique develo-
ped by Aqua House allows
the production of plates
which come up to even the highest standards of the air-craft industry. A second manu-facturing plant for the pro- duction of granite resin pla-
tes is filed for patent and has
not been implemented this
way in industry before. Over
two years of testing and
research resulted in the exi-
sting quality of the plates.
Not without pride the young
team looks back on many insi-ders in the sector, who did
not think that this result may
be reached. >
® Aluminium,
gets the grip A special aluminium profile
has been developed. The pro-
files (using the extruded cast
technique) are high-strength
and salt water resistant. They
are used as close-up board aswell as baseboard, its circula-
ting notch system allowing for
the free placement of bollards
and cleats. As most Aqua hou-ses are based at one place for
the long-term, special fixing
systems had to be developed,like
marine pile locks and
quay sidesliders, that prevent squea-ling and creaking and guaran-tee for a safe position evenduring storms. Granite resin plate >
