Product Description fibreC
Material
fibreC - a revolutionary material
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.
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.
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.
