What International Project Buyers Source from Gaziantep GAOSB
Many European and North American hospitality buyers know İstanbul and Bursa for custom furniture, yet the majority of Türkiye’s commercial hotel corridor/ballroom carpets, carpet tiles, acoustic underlays and nonwoven geotextiles are manufactured in Gaziantep (GAOSB)—exporting to over 170 countries.
Alongside contract flooring, Gaziantep’s petrochemical-polymer processing scale makes it a price-leading manufacturing base for XPS extruded polystyrene boards, APP/SBS modified bitumen waterproofing membranes, synthetic PVC/TPO geomembranes, PPR-CT hot-water plumbing pipes and polyurethane construction foams/sealants.

Preventing Polymer Filler & Hospitality Fire-Certificate Mistakes
- Fire Certificate Authenticity (
Cfl-s1/ASTM E648): Residential polypropylene rugs must never be shipped for hotel corridors requiringEN 13501-1 Cfl-s1 / Bfl-s1polyamide/wool contract specs (SS-DESK€190 +SS-PRE€490). - Calcium-Carbonate (
CaCO3) Over-Filling Trap in Membranes & Pipes: Ultra-cheapPPR/PVCpipes or bitumen membranes often contain excessive mineral filler that cracks in winter—verify virgin resin declarations, nominal kg/roll weights andENlab reports. - 1h30m Direct Flight (
SAW → GZT): Our team flies directly from İstanbul Sabiha Gökçen to Gaziantep Airport (25 minfromGAOSB) for single-day plant audits and pre-shipment inspections.
