1. Introduction
Rieder Group introduces Lumber, a groundbreaking addition to their concrete skin series. Crafted from fibreC glass fiber reinforced concrete, Lumber aligns seamlessly with the contemporary preference for natural, environmentally-friendly, and sustainable materials, offering an aesthetic appeal coupled with durability.
2. Ultra-Thin and Durable Design
Boasting a slender 13mm profile, the robust Lumber panels offer unparalleled design flexibility. These panels, resembling a second skin, elegantly envelop buildings, corners, and edges, creating a cohesive and distinctive material flow.
3. Lumber Texture: Embracing Nature
The Lumber texture draws inspiration from natural timber aesthetics. A uniform wood grain imparts a profound sense of depth to the building envelope, creating a visually striking effect. Unlike traditional wood, these facade panels possess a multi-layered appearance without requiring additional weather protection, ensuring both beauty and practicality.
4. Rain Screen Facade Technology
Functioning as a rain screen, the Lumber facade panels provide protective coverage akin to an extruded concrete skin. This innovative approach opens up new possibilities for modern ventilated wall designs, harmonizing aesthetics with long-term durability. The panels can be either visibly or discreetly fastened onto a metal substructure, offering versatility to architects and builders.
5. Colors and Surfaces
Through-colored with natural pigments, the Lumber facade panels are available in an extensive palette of 23 colors and three surfaces: FE ferro (sandblasted), FE ferro light (sandblasted at lower pressure), and MA matt (brushed, smooth surface). This diverse range unlocks countless creative possibilities, allowing architects to play with color, structure, and form. Special colors can be accommodated upon request, providing a customized touch to each project.
6. Application in Construction
Suitable for a variety of construction applications, including facades, exteriors, interiors, and beyond, the Lumber panels from Rieder Group redefine the boundaries of concrete application in contemporary architecture.
7. Conclusion
In conclusion, Rieder’s Lumber Facade Panels epitomize the fusion of innovation and aesthetics in the realm of building materials. With their ultra-thin profile, durability, and nature-inspired textures, these panels offer architects and builders an opportunity to create structures that are not only visually captivating but also endure the test of time in a sustainable and eco-friendly manner.
