The Company

In 1961, 58 years ago, the company was founded by John Dalkafoukis, in Northern Greece, in the city of Thessaloniki. The company’s primary objective was the processing and marketing of building materials and pumice. In 2004, 45 years later, the second generation, founded the company Dalkafouki House LTD, marking the vision of
Maria Dalkafouki and Aris Mikrou, to combine the long-term activity of the company with their love for culture and the preservation of our cultural and architectural heritage. In 2015, the third generation George and Joanna Mikrou are staffing the two existing companies by developing new ideas and creating new segments, combining once again the history of the company with their personal touch.

Our facilities

Our company is located in a private area of 13 acres, in the area of Nea Ionia,Thessaloniki. Our facilities include, enclosed and open product storages and processing areas and packing materials. Our office is a comfortable multipurpose space that perfectly meets our philosophy. It includes offices, a specially designed training center, showroom, meeting room, a room where our partners can work and a new applications and projects designing room.

For the reconstruction, were used, both during construction and upon completion, most of our range of products (Ecological materials, structural styles, special paints). Our guests, clients or partners have the opportunity to see up close applications rather than on samples but on large surfaces where the final result is seen.

Our Projects
01

Breath Inn

The Breath Inn is an innovative concept that envisions to create a set of hotels and lodgings whose main feature is their ecological approach to the restoration of environmentally friendly cement-free materials. Breath Inn aims to promote an alternative form of tourism in which the visitor beyond the place to be visited is also interested in the quality and the method of construction of the space that will host him Our goal is to combine eco-community, eco-investment and eco-consultancy.

Mind the map

Mind the map is a fully completed product of study, research, design and manufacturing tactile maps designed to bring people with visual disabilities closer to civilization. Through 3D printing technology and modern processing methods, maps of Mind the Map offer the visitor an overall experience, place the visitor in the area and capture image through experiential additions, audio description and transcript information in Braille system. Mind the map is a modern project that offers added value to our cultural heritage and gives solutions to specific accessibility issues for people with visual disabilities.

Training Centre

Under a constant renovation and technical support, we have created a model training center. With a focus on people and their need for proper application of materials in the works, we share ways and techniques to a wide audience. Finally, this center serves as a place of knowledge and reflection in relation to developments in the industry, giving participants the opportunity to see and to practice new techniques, paints and mortars without cement.

Academic Partnerships

EKEFE

Democritus
Two are the main research objects of the Laboratory of Ceramics and composites: one is the design and development of tailor-made – and compatible with the authentic materials – mortar and grout for the restoration of architectural heritage site. The second, is the development of innovative nano-composites for securing and protecting the archaeological findings and monuments. The unique tradition and expertise of the laboratory, extends in the field of application of physical and chemical methods of analysis for the study of, corrosion mechanisms of archaeological and modern inorganic materials, reproduction of ancient fire-technologies (eg ceramics, mortar, glass, metals Mr. .lp.) and in studies of origin and processing raw materials in antiquity.

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki

Faculty of Engineering
The laboratory of Building materials of the Department of Science and Technology of the faculty of civil engineering AUTH, develops for over 25 years significant research activity on two main research areas: The analysis of historical materials of monumental heritage (in combination with the design of compatible restoration materials), and applied research to promote innovative building materials -and the utilization of industrial byproducts in construction. The scientific staff of the Laboratory consists of experienced and young researchers of various scientific specialties (Civil Engineers, Geologists, Chemists, Architects) in order to respond adequately to the complex problems encountered in the construction. The Laboratory has ISO 9001: 2008 certification for controlling several building materials.

Bristol University

Interface Analysis Centre
The Interface Analysis Centre (IAC) is a cutting-edge multidisciplinary research hub at the University of Bristol. It is a research group within the School of Physics and provides advanced and routine materials characterisation, data interpretation tools and expertise. In addition to conducting materials science research we also provide analysis and consultancy services to industry. Materials such as polymers, plastics, composites, metals, alloys, ceramics and building materials have diverse properties that impact performance. Our materials analysis services evaluate material quality and provide the necessary insight to improve performance and resolve failure or contamination issues. As a group, the IAC is fortunate to host a wide array of analytical equipment that is attractive to both academia and industry, with the group possessing a large number of external collaborators.

ΕΕΤΥ

Laboratory of Science and Engineering of Materials of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
A workshop with major research project, experience and expertise in the field of protection of structural cultural heritage. It combines non-destructive and instrumental techniques for characterization and diagnosis of wear of materials, , provides scientific support to design conservative interventions rehabilitation and sustainability, and provides integrated design innovative building and restoration materials, compatible with the historic ones. The EETY has gained considerable experience from numerous European and national programs, applying its expertise in iconic landmarks such as the Holy Canopy of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and the Medieval City of Rhodes.
