TIL-TAK AS

What TIL-TAK AS does

TIL-TAK AS is a Norwegian private building-materials manufacturer founded in 2003 and headquartered in Svelvik, Norway. The company develops and supplies integrated construction systems — primarily terrace drainage, lightweight concrete floor/ceiling formwork, and high-performance thermal insulation — that enable double utilization of built floor area by waterproofing elevated decks while creating dry, usable space beneath them. Its core technology stack comprises proprietary galvanized steel plate profiles with built-in fall (TIL-TAK Original), welded reinforced PVC canvas membranes (TIL-TAK Light), dove-tail profiled steel formwork plates for thin concrete decks (DUOFOR Svalehaleplater), reinforced formwork plates for cast-in-place concrete (HODY), an insulated PIR-and-formwork ribbed floor system (OP-DECK), and fire-retardant PIR insulation boards (termPIR AL). Production was brought in-house in 2023 via a proprietary coil-to-finished-plate machine, eliminating prior contract manufacturing dependence.

The company sells predominantly through the Norwegian building-materials retail channel, where its products are stocked as standard shelf items at all major chains, complemented by free on-site PRO2PRO training for professional craftsmen and online calculation tools. Hardware sales (palletized units and complete kits) form the core revenue stream, with light technical-advisory services supporting product adoption. International expansion is underway: complete TIL-TAK Light kits are sold direct-to-consumer in the United States with transport included (USD 520–750 per kit), and termPIR insulation is distributed into Sweden via the Reformhus partnership. The customer base spans SMB contractors, mid-market residential developers, individual DIY homeowners, and selected government and enterprise projects (notably Forsvarsbygg on Svalbard).

The product portfolio addresses regulated pain points in Norwegian construction — NS 8175 sound insulation (achieving Class B vs. required Class C), REI 60–120 fire resistance, low construction-height requirements, and year-round installability — with documented customer outcomes including 240 m² of floor completed in 6 hours by two workers versus 14 days for traditional methods, and a 4 dB impact-sound improvement versus particle-board solutions.

Product overview

TIL-TAK AS is a Norwegian building materials company founded in 2003, offering a portfolio of terrace drainage, formwork, and insulation products. The core offerings are two terrace drainage systems — TIL-TAK Original (galvanized steel plates with built-in fall) and TIL-TAK Light (reinforced PVC membrane) — both enabling dry usable space beneath terraces. Complementing these are DUOFOR Svalehaleplater (armoring/formwork plates for lightweight concrete floors with fire class REI 60 and sound class B), HODY formwork plates (for cast-in-place concrete up to 8m spans), OP-DECK (insulated ribbed deck system with integrated PIR and up to 8–12m spans), and termPIR AL PIR insulation panels. Accessory products include specialty deck screws, polybutene sealing compound, foundation felt, and deck brackets. The company also produces TIL-TAK Vognskjørt (custom PVC covers for caravans/motorhomes). All products are distributed through major Norwegian building materials retailers. The company was recognized as a Gaselle business in 2008 and 2009 and manufactures its own production machinery.
