Our high-quality membrane materials and post-production galvanized welded frames deliver durability over time, making the cost of maintaining Rubb buildings 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. Thermohall® insulation can minimise heat transfer, prevent condensation, and virtually eliminate thermal bridging and air infiltration.
Structure quality
All structures are code complaint, designed to its location’s wind and environmental requirements. Our PVC cladding has a manufacturer’s warranty of 10 years. Steelwork is hot-dip galvanized to eliminate corrosion, and comes with a 25-year warranty.
Multiple door options
Rubb offers a variety of different door solutions. They can be selected and designed to suit many size and opening requirements, ensuring our clients get the best option for their selected Rubb building type and operational needs.
Complete environmental control
The membrane cladding of a Rubb building is continuously sealed to provide a weathertight shell. The buildings can be insulated, heated, or air-conditioned as required. Rubb structures are uniquely suited for use as dehumidified facilities.
Engineering experts since 1977. Whatever you need, we can build.
Reduced time on-site
Our established supply chain streamlines coordination of delivery and installation. Prefabricated elements and the ability to construct our buildings in a variety of weather conditions speeds up the construction process.
Rapid construction, installation, and relocation
Rubb buildings can be quickly erected, dismantled, and relocated due to module prefabrication. We can provide site supervisors or fully dedicated construction teams to complete any project. Structures are transportable by land, sea, and air.
Flexible and cost-efficient foundation systems
Rubb buildings can accommodate many foundation options such as concrete up-stand, ballast weights, and ground anchors into an existing surface. Rubb coordination with the groundwork contractor is key for the client to reach the most cost-effective solution.
Customisable features
Buildings can accommodate all types of door, ventilation, and other systems. They can safely support high loads imposed by overhead cranes, ceiling-mounted HVAC and firesuppression systems, fall-protection equipment, and other superimposed loads.
Comprehensive long-term service
Rubb personnel are on hand to provide help and support, from initial contact and quotation, to installation and beyond. Rubb’s commitment to customer service continues after project completion and forms the basis for long-term customer satisfaction.
