BlingCrete™

Concrete reflects light

BlingCrete™ combines the positive properties of concrete (fireproofness, strength, construction technology) with the property of retroreflection. Retroreflective surfaces precisely reflect incident light (sunlight or artificial light) back towards the light source.

The BlingCrete™ surface is according to its position activated by light from both the light source and the recipient. At any given moment the reflection effect can become perceptible, and the concrete switches from a passive to an active state.

The properties of BlingCrete ™ open up wide-ranging design possibilities in architecture, interior design, product design and traffic-safety related areas. Potential applications include the permanent marking of dangerous areas (stairs, curbs, platform edges, tunnel passages) for safety purposes and the design of structurally-integrated guiding systems and new surface components (facade, floor, ceiling).

Individual design possibilities with architectural concrete

Wide-ranging construction methods, such as architectural precast cladding, sandwich facades, steel-reinforced and textile-reinforced concrete, with acidified, blasted, polished, finely washed or smooth surfaces - everything is possible with Hering.

A leader in the development of new concrete technologies

Hering creates numerous special concrete surfaces that go way beyond the conventional. Using its own specially-developed photo concrete technology, it can realize surfaces that include photorealistic images or patterns, as well as lettering and logos in extremely sharp-edged relief concrete. Hering's latest innovation, BlingCrete™ - light-reflecting concrete, allows similarly spectacular effects to be achieved.

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