Glassfibre reinforced concrete

Concrete is alive

fibreC is a glassfibre reinforced concrete that combines the advantages of both materials. The technical characteristics, the quality, and the longevity facilitate versatile and avant-garde applications of a natural product.

Lively

The natural product with its characteristic signs of life, such as cloud effect, pores, and an interplay of shades of colour, provide a lively appearance on the facade

Non-flammable

For the product, Rieder uses raw materials that originate from nature. Glassfibre reinforced concrete ensures absolute fire resistance due to its excellent thermal properties (fire protection class A1 “non-flammable” according to DIN 4102).

Lean & resilient

Due to the reinforcement with glass fibres, fibreC can withstand extremely high loads with a thickness of only 13 mm and a calculated service life of more than 50 years.

Authentic

fibreC is dyed throughout with iron oxide pigments and natural additives. The natural, hence authentic, colors blend well into landscapes and correspond with nature and the environment.

Malleable

The ability to bend and form panels opens up new possibilities for design with concrete. Formparts are tailor-made as single pieces and create monolithic facades with smooth jointing.

Sustainable

Rieder combines functionality, aesthetics, and intelligence on the facade and wants to make an active contribution to the energy revolution through continuous research and development of the products and production processes. With its ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, Rieder sets itself high standards for environmental protection. The environmental product declarations, EPD, give precise indicators for the life cycle assessment.

Life cycle assessment

Unlike other facade materials, such as aluminium, fibre cement, and HPL, only a small amount of primary energy is consumed during the production of fibreC, in turn resulting in a low CO₂ load and a minimal greenhouse effect. (Source IBO product testing 12/2016)
