It seems a paradox, but a hard surface material like concrete is excellent for sound reducing applications. Even very thin panels have adequate mass to block sound. Shape and texture contribute to the distortion of sound, bringing great results.
By perforations in the concrete and sound absorbing materials at the rear, sound can be mouffled als well. In train and subway stations architecture meets functionality

Sounds much better dan sun blinds. A brise soleil by Betsinor looks better too. Ultra-high performance concrete makes it possible to build extremely thin slats.
As the material of the slats is the same as that of the cladding, a natural, homogeneous effect is achieved.
The brise soleil has additional functionality when they can be pivoted. Vivid and functional.

Concrete Concept is a design tool that ensures that the optimum result for the facade can be achieved. The starting points from the design are first mapped out. The outcome is evaluated and subsequently points for improvement are made clear. If these are addressed, you have the best conceivable facade.

There are virtually no limits with Betsinor. As long as we can demould it, you can select any texture.
Even a texture of just a few millimetres will bring special effects
You can choose from hundreds of standard patterns. Or design your own texture.
A small prototype mock-up will ensure the right result. Service!

Case Study
A landmark building is demolished. The architect wanted to connect the new building to the historic context and got the idea to have the debris of the old building to become part of the texture in the new building’s facade. A small mock up has been made, used to make a elastomere mould. This became the mould used for making the panels. The colour of the concrete has been linked to those of the adjacent buildings in the urban area.

The door of this gas cabinet is covered with a concrete panel.
The difference in seam width has been created to meet the ventilation requirements of the network operator.
Detail your designs in such a way that the joint width is the same. And ensure that the sub-frame is painted in a color matching the panels.
Betsinor is concrete. Both in material and in their rock-solid execution of successful projects.

The Romans have discovered the unique advantages of this material way back. Often we are asked about the properties of our concrete. Well, because it is real concrete, they are the same as any concrete. However, thanks to a better cement to water ratio and the use of polymer, they are superior to regular concrete.

Our panels are commonly used for rainscreen cladding. This type of cladding offers many advantages compared to a more traditional façades. In short, it presents better conditions within the building in combination with a light weight construction. This type of façade is common in countries with a high level of sun radiation and temperatures. In these areas we learn to appreciate its benefits more and more.

What is the weight of Glassfibre reinforced concrete?
Not less than regular concrete: about 2300 kilo per cubic metre. But the advantage is that, thanks to the absence of steel reinforcement, the panel can be very thin. We do not need additional coverage of the reinforcement bars. The amourphos distribution of the fibres does the rest.
