Facades in ultra high performance concrete

Hi-Con facades are bespoke and precasted elements in CRC i2® that creates value for the architect, the engineer, the contractor and the developer. Our slender facade elements utilize the material properties to create premium architecture without comprimising its strength and durability. Large formats, slender elements, bespoke design and low weight are among some of the properties you can take advantage of when applying CRC i2® in your building project. 

We strive to get our facade elements to meet your visions and needs and thereby achieve the architectural expression and functionality you wish for. Therefore, we are specialized in making different types of facade solutions, which can be applied for different purposes. Among our facade solutions you will find insulated facade elements, aesthetic curtain walls for sun shielding, facade panels in large formats and facade elements that are suitable for renovation projects.

Types of facades in UHPC

We make different types of facades

Our insulated facade elements can be used for both renovation projects and new build. The insulated facade element is designed with insulation on one side and a facade panel in CRC i2® on the other. The elements are installed easily on an existing wall or on a new building. They are lightweight and the facade panel measures down to 30 mm in thickness.

Curtain walls are non-structural, transparent and aesthetic facade elements that provides the building with a unique expression, which can function as a sunshield. The curtain wall elements come in large formats, with a bespoke design and a thickness down to 45 mm.

CRC i2® can - as any other kind of concrete - be shaped into any aesthetic form and expression. Many possible surfaces can be created. The standard colors are grey and white, but concrete can also be colored and stenciled in order to create a certain expression. Finally, stones or other additives can create a rougher surface. We can help you find the surface, you are looking for
