Introduction
This document discusses the use of folded glassfibre reinforced concrete panels, known as formparts, for building facades. These panels are used in various architectural projects, including the citizenM Hotel in London, Florentinum Business Office in Prague, and the Life Sciences Building at the University of Vilnius.

Specifications
The formparts are designed for non-visible fastening using an intelligent system with integrated anchors. They are pre-assembled in a factory to ensure quality and allow for rapid on-site assembly. Despite their length, they require only two fastening points per element, reducing the need for sub-construction materials.

Design and Flexibility
These panels are manufactured using the 'industrial manufacture' concept, allowing them to be formed into 3D elements while maintaining a thickness of 13 mm. They offer a monolithic appearance and a variety of design possibilities, including L-cross-section, U-cross-section, round arches, and special shapes. The panels can be combined with large-format concrete skin facade panels and are available in lengths up to 4.5 meters.

Product Characteristics
The panels are available in 12 through-coloured options with a sandblasted surface. They are classified as non-combustible building material class A1 according to DIN 4102, with a dead load of 26 - 31.5 kg/m². Fixing options include rivets, screws, undercut anchors, and special solutions.

Technical Support and Services
Rieder offers comprehensive support for architects and planners throughout all project stages, from planning to implementation. Their R2R (Rendering to Realisation) approach ensures a holistic solution for building envelopes, including design elaboration, facade optimization, static calculations, and logistics concepts.

Additional Information
For precise color specifications, original concrete skin color samples should be used. The natural material of concrete results in a unique surface appearance, enhancing its vivid character. Further details can be found in the technical manual or on the Rieder website.
