The arrows are inspired by designs by M.C. Escher, the panels are pigmented through and through to have no light transmission (unlike standard Raficlad panels)
Raficlad Composite Facade – Jan Snel office: The special and symmetrical facade for the Jan Snel Group transport building in Montfoort is made of Raficlad Unicolor. For this Escher-like facade design, two different shades of grey were chosen, with the colors alternating dark and light grey, for a maximum effect of the design. The arrows are cut very tightly on the water jet cutting machine.
Raficlad Unicolor is pigmented through and through in a uniform colour. The Raficlad facade surface covers 600 m².
More and more architects in their search for new, special, permanently beautiful facade cladding ended up at Holland Composites. We developed Raficlad especially for them: translucent composite panels with random fibre structure. Raficlad is available in all conceivable colours, flat or with freely definable shapes, from 2 to 15 mm thick and with a maximum size of 1,500 x 7,800 mm.
The main advantages are the durability (UV-resistant, colourfast, corrosion-free, chemically resistant and therefore easy to clean) and the great freedom of shape. With the help of a CNC-controlled water jet cutter, we can cut both flat and mould-formed plates into any desired contour and provide them with mounting holes.
Development, production, transport and assembly of the Raficlad Composite Facade for the Jan Snel Group office by Holland Composites.
