Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
Concrete skin panels are characterized by their natural variations in color, structure, and texture. They are available in standard sizes of 2.5 x 1.2 m, 3.1 x 1.2 m, and 3.6 x 1.2 m, with special sizes available upon request. The panels have a thickness of 13 mm, with a tolerance of ±1.3 mm, and are reinforced with alkali-resistant glass fibers. They are non-combustible and have a thermal expansion coefficient of 10*10^(-6) 1/°k.

Physical Characteristics
The panels exhibit a bulk density of 2.0 - 2.42 kg/dm³ and a bending tensile strength greater than 18 N/mm². They are designed to withstand various environmental conditions, including water impermeability, frost resistance, and UV-light resistance.

Fastening and Installation
Concrete skin panels can be fastened using exposed rivets or concealed adhesive methods. The substructure can be made of aluminum or steel, with a minimum joint width of 8 mm.

Colors and Surfaces
The panels are available in 12 standard colors and three surface finishes: matt, ferro light, and ferro. These finishes offer a range of optical and tactile effects, with the color being consistent throughout the panel due to the use of ferric oxide colors.

Natural Characteristics
As a natural product, concrete skin panels may exhibit features such as efflorescence, color variations, and visible tension lines. These characteristics do not affect the technical performance of the panels.

Environmental Considerations
The panels are hydrophobically treated to provide basic protection against environmental influences while remaining breathable. They are designed to integrate naturally with their surroundings, emphasizing ecological sustainability.

* MOR: Modulus of Rupture; Design values deviate from MOR in accordance with national rules and regulations. National approvals, rules and regulations apply to the calculation of the rated resistance. **Because concrete is a natural product, each glassfibre reinforced concrete panel is regarded as a single piece. Differences in colour, structure and texture are characteristic. Efflorescences or small, visible pores are not defects. The light resistance varies depending on the colour. Differences in the surface appearance, which do not affect the fitness for purpose of the panels, are permitted....

Colour differences Glassfibre reinforced concrete is a natural material. The characteristics of the raw materials such as the colour of cement can lead to variations in colour within a panel, between individual panels or between different production batches. To avoid any discrepancies, we recommend ordering the total amount instead of part orders, and ordering spare panels with the first delivery. polar white off-white ivory silvergrey chrome anthracite liquid black green Due to technical reasons printed colours may differ from the original shade.

Characteristics Vivid signs of a natural building material Concrete is a natural product and Rieder sees it as such, with all its vital signs and characteristics. Living surfaces with the interplay of colour shades and cloud effects, rather than dead and clinical surfaces are characteristic of concrete skin. Even in the colouring of the concrete matrix, the focus is placed on meeting the ecological requirements of modern design. This is why the production involves natural raw materials to ensure the authenticity of all products. The demand for low porosity, homogeneous colour and strictly uniform...
