Choose a composite facade!

Composite is extremely strong and requires very little maintenance. It also offers endless possibilities in terms of design, colours and designs, high or low transparency. This makes it possible to give a facade a personal touch and really make it stand out.

Composite facades ensure that an (old) building gets a new face, freshen up entire residential areas and shopping centres and the low weight ensures savings on (re)construction costs. A facade with a creatively thought-out design and smart choice of colours can ultimately become an iconic eye-catcher for a city, village or area.

Facade ‘the bathtub’ – Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam

A very well-known example of this is the new composite extension of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, also known as ‘de badkuip’. This sleek, modern, completely one-piece lightweight composite matches perfectly with the historic building from 1865 by A.H. Weissman.

Facade ‘the pill strip’ – music palace TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht

The music temple TivoliVredenburg which is well-known both at home and abroad, also consists of a combination of existing, traditional construction and a new, ultra-modern extension. The so-called dots incorporated in the composite facade panels provide a striking addition to the variety of architecture in the old city centre of Utrecht. The design of the east and west facades was inspired by the cover of the album “Confessions on a dance floor” by Madonna. This building with composite facades also quickly acquired a nickname: “The Pill Strip”. “De Pillenstrip”.

Facade with photo print – shopping centre in Klazienaveen, Drenthe

A more local eye-catcher is the facade of the shopping centre in Klazienaveen. It consists of Raficlad® composite facade panels with photo print. A photo print facade is the pinnacle of individual design, because it can, for example, reflect the function of the building. In this case, the cheerful faces on the outside facade of the shops provide a welcoming effect.
