Access solutions smoothly follow the trends of architecture

For a company like Rostek, there is no point in trying to be only a follower when it comes to facade planning and construction. Since with the amount of experience working under our roof, many complicated buildings can be safer accessed if our sales and designers are contacted early. It is easier to design a functional, good looking and reliable solution when the plans are just forming on the paper.

Dear Readers of permanent façade access blog by Rostek! Let me introduce myself: My name is Mikko Peltonen and I’m one of the newest additions to Rostek crew. I began as the COO in late November and found myself in a well-organized company with common ways of doing things. As I learned more, it turned out that Rostek had implemented ISO9001:2015 Quality Management System (“QMS”) in 2017 and the process-driven way of working was – and is still being – rooted in the day-to-day operations.

Co-operation and innovative thinking combined with structured process management lead the way to quality and success.

Safety at highest level: Safety features in Rostek Suspended Access Systems

[fa icon="calendar'] 21/05/18 13:26 / by Niko Siltanen

Window cleaners working at the highest levels of the building are considered to be some the bravest people alive. This work is often considered to be dangerous. That used to be the situation when the rules and regulations for window cleaning were not that high. We at Rostek value the life the people using our equipment. Therefore we follow all the general standards and norms. Sometimes we go and exceed them, if we believe there could be some problems. By working safely and not cutting any corners we can proudly say that there have never been any fatal accidents caused by faulty products or proper use of our products. That is a good record for a business that started in a business sector that was not a safe one.

These buildings stand out from the surroundings and some of them are even touristic attractions. The following 10 buildings are divided into three categories:
