Chic Concrete
Concrete With Character
Gravity; Columbus, Ohio
“Intelligence, aesthetics, and emotion are ingredients by which Rieder’s concrete gains new significance. [Our concrete products use] raw materials from nature. As a result, the material has something familiar, lively, and a distinctively honest material character. The mandate to maintain this authenticity is reflected in the Rieder concrete products. Fascination with nature becomes fascination with concrete. [At the end of the day, our] aim is to provide an intelligent façade that is enriched by a system of energy generation [that is] not restricted to terms of aesthetics, design freedom and economy.”
Color Palate | “Our color collection offers authentic colors that blend well into landscapes and correspond with nature and the environment. Color variations within a color tone are intended and enhance the liveliness of the building material, concrete. Each color is available in three surfaces (Matt, Ferro, Ferro Light).” We are excited to introduce 2 new color collections: bricky and timber.”
Textures Palate | “Our texture collection add liveliness and depth to any façade. The various structures create an exciting interplay of light and shadow that changes depending on the angle of view. The new textures open up additional freedom for architects and room for individual ideas. The different characteristics better emphasize the naturalness of the concrete material and the authentic appearance.”
Zero Waste | “Waste materials resulting from the production can be used as side-products like filling materials for noise protection embankments or for sub-constructions.”
Eco efficiency | “Only a small amount of primary energy is consumed during the production of glassfibre reinforced concrete, in turn resulting in a low CO2 load and a minimal greenhouse effect.”
Green Building | “Many projects built with Rieder facade products have been evaluated in accordance with building certification systems like DGNB, LEED and BREEAM.”
Fire safety | “Glassfibre reinforced concrete ensures absolute fire resistance. Panel: fire rating A1 non-combustible.”
Greencrete | “Our aim is to reduce or avoid pre- and post-consumer waste by replacing raw material with recycled glassfibre reinforced concrete and by reusing offcuts.”
Durability | “Facades by Rieder require no maintenance over the years. With their long-term stability.”
Responsibility | “The biggest impetus for continuous development is the demand to create more than just sustainable concrete products in order to make an active contribution to the energy revolution”
Scrapcrete | “Reduction of offcuts by providing intelligent tools: inverse design process “creating from what you have” by data driven process and machine vision.”
