Characteristics

  • formparts enable complex 3D shapes with round and sharp-edged corner solutions. Positive and negative angles can be combined.

  • formparts are custom-made and can be pre-assembled in the factory, which means weather conditions are irrelevant. This guarantees a highquality standard and rapid assembly on site. The elements are simply hooked in and tweaked into place.

  • As no shuttering is necessary, formparts are very attractive especially for small runs. Due to the low weight of the formparts and their large spans, less substructure is required. They provide an economical solution for the building envelope.

  • Products made of fibreC guarantee absolute fire resistance: fire rating A1 - “non-combustible“ approx. according to BBA Agrément Certificate 16/5362 for Great Britain and A2-s1,d0 - “non-combustible“ approx. according to abZ Nr. Z-31.4.166 for Germany.

  • Rieder products also serve as sophisticated privacy and sun protection. The material contributes to the cooling and heating of drums as an efficient and innovative method. With building envelopes made of fibreC there is no “heat island effect“.

  • formparts are manufactured individually for each project. This results in many different possible designs and mounting methods. Over the years Rieder has created a comprehensive library of solutions for formparts. Excerpts from this R2R Library are available on request.

Design

With its well curated range of colors, bricky, timber, pietra and greyscale, Rieder offers a selection of coordinated shades to create the most authentic facades possible in harmony with nature and their surroundings. The different surfaces, textures and formats lend the building envelope vibrancy and depth and give architects free reign for their ideas. Color variations within a color tone are intended and enhance the liveliness of the building material, concrete. Each color is available in the surfaces ferro, ferro light and matt. Inspired by the traditional construction method, using wood, natural stone and brick, the new color collections have been created.

Installation

plug & play - The jointed formed parts are connected using different mounting brackets depending on size. As a system supplier, Rieder provides coordinated components, resulting in an integrated solution from a single source. The simple anchorage system allows on-site adjustment, high fitting accuracy and concealed mounting. The mounting options are compatible with all standard supporting structures and are a time-saving, economical and sustainable alternative. For the mounting of formparts. Rieder offers a library of standard details with typical vertical and horizontal sections as well as details for fire barriers, connections for glass facades, shutter boxes, ceiling cladding, roof connections and column cladding. Based on project experience, a large collection of prepared special solutions for mounting on a wide variety of building and facade types is also available.

fibreC is a glassfibre reinforced concrete that combines the advantages of both materials. The technical characteristics, the quality, and the longevity facilitate versatile and avant-garde applications of a natural product.

Transformation from waste to design – To reduce waste in the production of facade elements made of glassfibre reinforced concrete and to further pursue the zero-waste strategy, Rieder has developed a new product: the pixel, a small-format concrete shingle measuring 147 x 240 millimeters.Due to their small size, the elements open up entirely new design options for innovative building envelopes.

CO₂-positive by 2030: Rieder is pressing ahead with its decarbonization efforts with a variety of measures. Since 2019, CO₂ emissions were reduced by 35%. To draw up the guiding principles for its transition to a climate-positive company, Rieder is not just taking into consideration its own existing buildings, but also engaging with the topics of recycling and sustainable circular economy. The smaller the carbon footprint, the more Rieder improves architecture.
