What is UHPC concrete?
The question of what is uhpc concrete is among the questions we frequently encounter today. In general, uhpc concrete is a derivative of concrete. A type of concrete whose physical properties are maximized. It is formed from the initials of the words called Ultra High Performance Concrete. UHPC, has been widely used in dams and bridges for years. In fact, uhpc has a very high strength. Thus, is the idea of using uhpc as a facade element has emerged. These concrete elements, called architectural UHPC, have brought lightness and durability on the facades.
What is UHPC concrete product content?
Certainly, there are aspects that differ from conventional concrete. At the beginning of these, alkali resistant fiber ranks first. Secondly, additional chemicals increase the strength of concrete by reducing its porous structure. In this way, facade panels can be made larger and thinner. Additionaly, due to its low water absorption, it is less exposed to surface tensions. In addition, white cement consists of aggregate-optimized silica and water.

About uhpc concrete lifetime
Thanks to its high resistance to harsh climatic conditions, a surface loss of 1 mm occurs in 60 years. According to our laboratory results made in our TSE certified facilities, this period can be increased by additional additives. In our production facilities, each of our materials goes through R&D studies and is subjected to aging tests.
How is the uhpc assembled on the facade?
Post-production mounting points of the products produced as panels are determined according to static compatibility. Afterwards, the necessary slots for Fischer, Keil etc. systems are opened and the relevant fasteners are mounted. Thus, the fasteners are fixed to the façade with T or L anchors.
What are the texture and color variations?
Uhpc, which gives unlimited freedom to architects and designers in this regard, allows all kinds of textures to be created on the panel surface. In addition, thanks to the pigments added to the mixture during the production phase, colored production is also carried out. If desired, the surface of the panel is colored using different chemicals after assembly.
How long is the warranty period?
Our product is guaranteed for 2 years against technical faults. However, it maintains its performance on your facade for years after the warranty period. You can always contact our sales team for detailed information.
