Textile-reinforced Concrete

betoShell® architectural concrete façades employ a cement-bound composite with corrosion-free glass-fibre (GRP) or carbon-fibre plastic reinforcement. Thanks to the low thickness of the textile-reinforced concrete panels, less material is required during production compared with comparable steel-reinforced façade elements. betoShell® textile-reinforced concrete constitutes a much more cost-effective solution than conventional reinforced concrete: Normal concrete coverage of 30 to 50 millimetres is no longer required, which means that it’s possible to realise element thicknesses of between just 20 and 40 millimetres!

The betoShell® family of products that have quality mechanical characteristics and diversity in the design of the concrete in common are the result of decades of experience and continuous further development. But each ‘member of the family’ stands out for its particular strengths as have been outlined below.
