betoShell® - Featherlight concrete

betoShell® - A step ahead in concrete façade construction

After many years of research studies, and in close collaboration with the Technische Universität Dresden (University of Technology) and RWTH Aachen, Hering has managed to develop a thin-walled, concrete façade panel with a thickness of only 20mm, which is on a par with the thick-walled façade panels with regard to its chromaticity and surface qualities.

betoShell - GRC cladding

Flexible and environmentally-friendly GRC cladding for facades

Due to the textile fibre glass reinforcement (GRC) of betoShell® elements and the special concrete formula, extremely high bending tensile strength and impact resilience levels are achieved. Because of these advantageous characteristics, betoShell® is excellently suited for application in energy-efficient façade renovation, as a concrete rainscreen façade as well as for GRC cladding of new buildings. In addition to this, betoShell® is also distinguished by a tremendously environmentally-friendly production and, thus, fulfils the requirements of “sustainable building and construction”. In the Product Eco-Balance statement released in 2010, betoShell® achieved excellent results with regard to CO2 emission, resource efficiency / energy efficiency and lies distinctly below the values of materials such as natural stone or ceramic façades. Due to the constant further development of betoShell®, numerous new formats and varieties have been added.

Precast concrete cladding panels from Hering

Architectural concrete supplied by Hering stands for quality

Concrete has become an integral part as construction material for buildings, both for façade design and for structural prefabricated reinforced concrete components. Individually designed buildings with imposing façades are a standard feature of architecture. Whether curtain façades or sandwich façades, acidified, sand-blasted, polished, washed, smooth-shuttered or concrete rainscreen surfaces, Hering makes it possible. An image in photo concrete or a logo in relief concrete? No problem – Hering can do it.

Hering - a leader in developing new concrete technologies

With its thin walled betoShell® GFRC façade panel, Hering has succeeded in taking a big step forward in the development of façade technology. Being only 20 mm, it is perfect for remedial work on façades while being equivalent to conventional concrete façade elements in terms of its properties.

Our products for the architectural concrete sector are not yet available in the USA.
