The fascination of fiber cement
Since its invention, fiber cement has been rediscovered time and again in architectural design and reinterpreted through creative ideas and attractive material combinations. This universal material combines three very different expressive possibilities: The material can appear monolithic in a closed building envelope like stone; it can appear as a thin envelope like paper; or it can be cut into shapes, punched, perforated like a paper cut.
Air, water, cement, cellulose and synthetic fibers give fiber cement its unmistakably authentic character. Various surface processing techniques create individual and expressive façade textures – from solid-colored to sanded and profiled to opaque coated.
