Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) achieves ultra-thin, lightweight, high-strength, durable architectural decorative panels, with thickness as thin as 20-30mm, weight reduced by 60%, service life over 100 years. We provide innovative UHPC solutions for modern building facades.
Modern building facade design increasingly pursues thinness, transparency, rich shapes, and durability. Traditional natural stone, ceramic panels, GRC panels, and ordinary concrete panels have limitations in thickness, weight, strength, and durability. UHPC, as a new facade material, combines ultra-high strength, ultra-thinness, excellent formability, and ultra-durability, making it the ideal choice for modern building facades.
Handan Chengyuan Technology supplies UHPC premix concrete, carefully formulated with special cement, silica fume, quartz powder, quartz sand, steel fibers, and high-range water reducer, with compressive strength ≥150MPa, flexural strength ≥25MPa, chloride ion diffusion coefficient <0.1×10⁻¹² m²/s, meeting high-quality facade requirements.
UHPC flat hanging panel is the most basic form, with thickness 20-40mm and size up to 1.5m×3m or even larger. Compared with natural stone, UHPC flat panel is 60% lighter, 5 times stronger, has better durability, and the price is only 50%-70% of high-grade stone. The surface can be treated with various effects such as fair-faced concrete, sandblasting, polishing, and dyeing, capable of simulating the visual effects of various materials such as stone, metal, and ceramics. Suitable for building facades of office buildings, commercial complexes, and residences.
UHPC has excellent formability, capable of producing hanging panels of various complex shapes, including curved panels, folded panels, perforated panels, relief panels, and textured panels. The high fluidity of UHPC can perfectly replicate the fine texture of molds, with a minimum texture depth of 0.5mm. Shaped hanging panels can bring unique visual effects and artistic expression to building facades, and are a popular choice in modern architectural design. Suitable for cultural buildings, exhibition halls, commercial complexes, and landmark buildings.
UHPC sunshade louvers are building components that combine decoration and functionality, effectively blocking direct sunlight, reducing building energy consumption, while creating rich facade light and shadow effects. UHPC sunshade louvers can be as thin as 15-20mm, with length up to 2-3m and cantilever length up to 1-1.5m, with sufficient strength and stiffness. Compared with metal louvers, UHPC louvers have better durability, lower maintenance costs, and richer shapes. Suitable for public buildings such as office buildings, schools, and hospitals.
UHPC perforated hanging panels form various perforated patterns by pre-embedding in molds or post-processing, combining decoration and light transmission. The ultra-high strength of UHPC allows perforated hanging panels to achieve a large perforation rate (up to 40%-60%) while maintaining sufficient structural strength. Perforated hanging panels can bring unique light and shadow effects and visual hierarchy to building facades, suitable for commercial buildings, cultural buildings, and parking buildings.
UHPC stone-imitation hanging panels simulate the texture and color of various natural stones, including marble, granite, limestone, and slate, by incorporating colored aggregates, mineral pigments, or using special surface treatment processes. Compared with natural stone, UHPC stone-imitation hanging panels are lighter, stronger, more durable, have less color difference, and are more customizable, with the price only 50%-70% of natural stone. Suitable for facade decoration of various buildings.
UHPC metal-texture hanging panels simulate the visual effects and texture of metals (aluminum, copper, stainless steel, Corten steel, etc.) by incorporating metal powders on the surface, using special coatings or surface treatment processes. Compared with metal panels, UHPC metal-texture hanging panels have lower cost, better durability, do not rust, do not require frequent maintenance, and have richer shapes. Suitable for industrial-style buildings, commercial buildings, and cultural buildings.
