Rieder's 3D molded concrete facade elements offer lightweight, resource-efficient alternative to traditional precast
Rieder has developed facade elements molded in 3D from glass fiber reinforced concrete, measuring just 13 millimeters in thickness, which provides a lightweight substitute for conventional precast materials. These components improve resource efficiency and structural integrity, minimizing both weight and material usage while ensuring stability across larger spans. They are designed to resist moisture and have low dirt retention for lasting surfaces. Efficient installation is facilitated by factory pre-assembly and an accurate fixing system. Offered in multiple colors and formats, they enable distinctive facade designs along with effective sun and privacy shielding. The PREVIER building, located in Hamburg's Elbbrücken district, features 17,000 square meters of these elements, showcasing a warm red color scheme and robust protection against wind and rain for enduring durability.
