Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
Öko skin panels are made from glassfibre reinforced concrete, characterized by natural variations in color, structure, and texture. The panels are available in standard sizes of 1800/147 mm, with special sizes ranging from 110-302 mm in width and 700-2500 mm in length. Thickness is 13 mm with a tolerance of -1.0 mm/+2.0 mm. The panels are non-combustible, classified as A1 and A2-s1, d0 according to DIN 4102 and EN 13501 standards.

Physical Characteristics
The panels have a bulk density of 2.0-2.42 kg/dm³ and a bending tensile strength greater than 18 N/mm². They exhibit a thermal expansion coefficient of 10*10^(-6) 1/°k and are resistant to weather conditions, including water impermeability, frost, and UV light.

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

Colors and Surfaces
The panels are available in 12 standard colors, with special colors available upon request. They feature three surface finishes: matt, ferro light, and ferro. The panels are through-colored, ensuring consistent color throughout.

Natural Characteristics
As a natural product, the panels may exhibit variations such as efflorescence, small defects, and color changes due to environmental factors. These characteristics do not affect the technical performance of the panels.

Environmental Considerations
Öko skin panels are part of a natural cycle, with color changes influenced by temperature and humidity. The panels are designed to meet ecological requirements, avoiding chemical treatments to maintain authenticity.

* 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 and intended. 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,...

Colours & Surfaces Colour differences in production batches Glassfibre reinforced concrete is a natural material. The characteristics of the raw materials such as the colour of cement 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 light cloud effects, rather than dead and clinical surfaces are characteristic of öko 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...
