Glassfibre reinforced concrete as a building material


The classic material concrete exhibits good compressive strength,
but is also brittle and has a low tensile strength. This disadvantage
is overcome with the production of a composite material consist-
ing of concrete and a tension-resistant layer. Glassfibre reinforced
concrete is made from cement-bonded fine concrete reinforced with
alkali-resistant glassfibres. Unlike steel fibres, glassfibres provide a
distinct advantage in that they do not require anti-corrosion treat-

Product Description fibreC

Material
fibreC - a revolutionary material

Absolute fire protection without any special coating


The excellent thermal values (fire protection classification A1 as per DIN - incombustible - and temperature stability up
to 350 C) make fibreC a particularly robust material that requires no additional treatments or chemical coatings for fire
protection.

Performance hail-proof & weather-resistant


fibreC is non-combustible, can withstand heavy loads and is durable. The glassfibre reinforced concrete panels have high
mechanical stability, are dimensionally stable, weather-proof and thus hail-proof.

Individual look
Extraordinary design variants (colours, surfaces, print, perforation, sand-blasting, relief, shapes) meet the creative require-
ments of modern architecture. fibreC means Designers and Planners can work with no limits.

Authentic: concrete nothing more and nothing less


fibreC is glassfibre reinforced concrete material. The glassfibre reinforcement and the use of mineral raw materials give
fibreC the highest quality while at the same time remaining an authentic material.

Industrial Manufacture
The concept of industrial manufacture means that apparent opposites such as batch production of manufacturing with
the industrial specifications of our time, and producing with ever greater economic efficiency, can be combined. This unique
combination guarantees flexibility and spontaneity in the production of fibreC.

Benefits of a ventilated cladding system


The ventilated rainscreen cladding system creates balanced room air conditions, protects against heavy rain and offers
both condensation and sound insulation. Alongside the structural-physical advantages, rainscreen cladding also features
economic benefits: controllable manufacturing costs, weather-resistant assembly, long life and no maintenance.

Ductility
Bending, shaping and turning of elements in one piece open up new possibilities for design with concrete. Machined parts
are tailor made as a single piece without mitre cuts and still manufactured economically.

Long-term stability
The technical characteristics of fibreC remain unchanged over an expected lifetime of over 50 years. The natural signs of life
and the gradual influence to the appearance caused by the environment do not affect either the mechanical load capacity
or the safety of the panels.

Winner of many awards


Various international awards and certifications from the MIPIM AR Future Project Award in Cannes in France through the
Form & Function Award in Australia to the nomination for the design prize of the Federal Republic of Germany are testimony
to the quality and innovation of fibreC.
