WHICH TYPE OF FACADE SUITS YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT?

 

Our range of facades includes a wide variety of customized solutions that fit different construction projects. From insulated facade elements to sun-shading and renovation projects, to panels and large formats – our facades offer versatility and high quality. Whether you are working on a commercial complex, residential building, or public project, we have the right facade for you.

 

We understand the importance of creating a unique identity for your project and always strive to deliver facade solutions that meet your specific requirements and expectations.

WE DELIVER DIFFERENT TYPES OF FACADES

  • Insulated facade elements in Ultra High Performance Concrete can be used for both renovation and retrofitting projects as well as new construction. The insulated facade element has concrete on one side and insulation on the other and can be mounted on an already existing back wall or a newly constructed shell. The facade elements are slim, simple to install, lightweight, and can be cast down to a thickness of 30 mm.

     

    See an example where insulated facade elements are used here.

  • Aesthetic facade cladding contributes to the building's identity and can also be used for sun shading. Facade cladding in Ultra High Performance Concrete can be manufactured in large formats, with a customized appearance, and with a thickness down to 45 mm.

     

    See an example of a building with aesthetic facade cladding here.

  • Facade panels in Ultra High Performance Concrete are often used for facade solutions where a custom solution is needed or to create uniformity and a beautiful overall expression of your facade. With facade panels from Hi-Con, you can achieve large formats, customized surfaces, slim designs, and lightweight elements that are easy to install.

     

    See an example of the use of facade panels here.

  • Ultra High Performance Concrete can be used to create facades for renovation projects. This can be particularly useful when housing associations aim to improve energy efficiency or add insulation to their properties, or when the facade needs to be replaced as part of a larger transformation.

     

    Regardless of the purpose of the renovation project, Hi-Con can provide consultation on the optimal solution. We always consider the existing structure in our renovation projects and can produce self-supporting facades or facades where the load is transferred to the ground when the existing back wall cannot withstand additional loads.

SURFACES - TEXTURE AND COLORS

Ultra High Performance Concrete can, like regular concrete, be tailored to the aesthetic expression you desire. The standard colors are gray and light, but it is also possible to dye and texture the concrete. Additionally, the aggregate can be varied so that the surface appears rougher than the standard concrete.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FACADE SOLUTION

When choosing the right facade solution for your project, it is important to consider several factors. Start by defining your project needs and facade requirements, including aesthetics, functionality, and the building's load-bearing capacity. Take into account the building's architectural style and surrounding environment to ensure the facade harmonizes with the overall design concept. Our experts at Hi-Con are ready to guide you through the selection process and ensure you make the best decision for your project.
