Facade systems
The ideal application of digital concrete technology in the architecture and construction industry is in facade systems that combine both structural and aesthetic functions, allowing each project to feature a unique design.
Maximally optimized products are developed based on specific projects that demand unique structural and aesthetic solutions.
Our design and robotics team is also ready to collaborate directly with architects and structural engineers to create solutions fully tailored to the customer’s needs.
- solutions for both rendered and ventilated facade systems
- creation of digital and physical mockups prior to implementation
- optimization of the facade system topology leads to a reduction in the amount of material used and the building’s carbon footprint
- the technology saves up to 50% of CO2 production compared to conventional building methods
- UHPC properties enable significant weight reduction and detailed aesthetics
Material
- UHPC or UHPFRC material
- possibility of using certified construction recyclates in the material mix
- only 30% of the material used compared to conventional methods
- minimal material absorbency significantly extends the solution’s service life
Anchoring in ventilated systems
- concealed anchoring using integrated anchoring elements directly into the facade elements
- hanging of the elements on a prepared structure on the building’s load-bearing shell
- integrated reinforcement ensures the rigidity of individual facade elements
Sizes and shapes
- facade solutions assembled from elements tailored to the customer’s requirements
- standard thickness of elements is 30 mm + local reinforcement at the fixing points
- overall dimensions are individual considering design, statics, handling, and transport
- maximum size of the elements is not limited by production
Surface finish and aesthetics
- planar and dynamic shapes
- the chosen motif continues on the individual elements of the facade system
- surface finish according to architectural design, from exposed 3DCP to washed, blasted, or smooth surfaces
Coloring
- color according to the current So Concrete’s RAL color chart
- color according to the chosen aggregate or construction recyclate
