Washed surfaces

A washed surface is exactly what you need if you want to obtain a structured concrete surface with the dominating colour intensity of the aggregate.

Structure similar to sandstone

During production of this surface, the cement laitance on the concrete surface is prevented from curing by contact inhibitors. The uncured surface is “washed off” with a water jet.  The surface is given a structure similar to sandstone.

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.
