Does Ymalko offer solutions for roofs in coastal areas?
For the coastal areas of Vlora, Durrës, and Saranda, we recommend systems with high resistance to salt and wind—especially Bramac tiles with anti-corrosion treatment and Wolfin/Icopal membranes for flat roofs. The warranty covers damages from the marine climate.
What is Ytong and why is it used in construction?
Ytong is an autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block, a lightweight material with integrated thermal insulation. It builds faster than traditional brick (up to 4x faster), reduces the need for additional insulation, and is fire-resistant (REI 240). Ymalko sells it throughout Albania.
Does Ymalko provide technical support for projects?
Yes, our technical team offers free support: quantity calculations, system selection, construction details, and specifications for engineers and architects. Ask for support at +355 68 404 8831 or info@ymalko.com.
What is the warranty for Bramac tiles in Albania?
Bramac tiles have a 30-year manufacturer's warranty for color, durability, and impermeability. The expected lifespan is over 50 years, even in the Mediterranean climate of Albania.
How long does it take for Ymalko materials to arrive?
For products in stock at our warehouse, delivery is 2–4 business days to any city in Albania. For products ordered from the manufacturer (large quantities or specific models), the timeframe is 2–4 weeks. Please confirm the timeframe at the time of order.
What are James Hardie siding panels?
James Hardie is an American fiber-cement siding product that is resistant to water, fire, insects, and UV rays. They are a modern alternative to brick and plaster, with a lifespan of 50+ years. Ymalko is their official distributor in Albania.
What is the best skylight for houses in Tirana?
Fakro is our first choice for the Albanian market — the FTP-V model with energy-efficient double glazing is the most sought-after in Tirana because it balances thermal insulation (Uw 1.0 W/m²K) with price. For premium budgets, the Fakro FTT U8 Thermo is the passive standard.
Does Ymalko have basement waterproofing products?
We offer Vedag, Icopal, and Siplast bituminous membranes specifically for waterproofing foundations and basements. Two-layer systems guarantee protection from groundwater, a common problem in areas with high water tables in Albania.
Where is Ymalko's office located in Tirana?
Ymalko Albania operates from Tirana. You can find the exact address, opening hours, and warehouse details at ymalko.al/contact-al. Call +355 68 404 8831 for any information or a visit.
Does Ymalko offer products for passive or low-energy construction?
We offer complete systems for passive construction: Ytong Lambda for extremely insulated walls, Multipor for mineral facades, Fakro Thermo for roof windows, and Wolfin membrane for integrated photovoltaic roofs. Consultation is free.
Can I order small quantities from Ymalko?
Yes, Ymalko also serves individuals and small projects — there is no minimum order quantity. You can buy a Ytong pallet, a roll of membrane, or a few Bramac tiles for repairs. However, the price per unit is better in larger quantities.
Do you also do the installation?
No. Ymalko supplies and delivers the materials, but does not install them. We help you choose the right product and quantity, while the installation is done by your craftsman or your construction company.
Do you have a showroom?
No, we do not have a showroom. We give advice and offers by phone, by email or through the contact form, and we deliver the materials directly to the site.
How can I get a price or an offer?
Prices are not shown on the website. Send us the list of products, the dimensions or the plan of the building, and we will send you an offer for your request.
Can you help me calculate the quantity?
Yes. Send us the plan or the dimensions (the roof area, the length of the walls, etc.) and we will calculate the quantity of materials and accessories.
Where can I find the technical sheets and catalogues?
On each product's page and on the Documents page you will find the manufacturers' catalogues, technical sheets and installation instructions.
Which countries does Ymalko operate in?
Ymalko operates in Kosovo (ymalko.com), in Albania (ymalko.al), in North Macedonia (ymalko.mk) and in Montenegro (ymalko.me). Each country has its own website and delivers throughout its own territory.
