Exposed Concrete in Focus: RECKLI Featured on the “Baustellengeflüster” Podcast
Exposed concrete is highly versatile and can be used in almost every area of construction. Whether smooth surfaces, individual textures or striking designs, the possibilities are extensive. With formliners, concrete surfaces can even replicate the appearance of wood, natural stone, photographic images or natural landscapes such as the Wadden Sea. But where are the limits, what quality requirements need to be considered and which factors influence the costs?
These and other questions are discussed in an episode of the “Baustellengeflüster” podcast, hosted by Luca Danilo Arenz from ARCenergie GmbH. Our colleague Björn Hanzel, Global Director, Strategic Partnerships & Business Development at RECKLI, joined the podcast to discuss the wide range of applications for exposed concrete, as well as the design possibilities and technical aspects involved in producing high-quality concrete surfaces.
The episode covers several key topics:
- Exposed concrete and its design possibilities: What can be achieved with formliners in interior and exterior applications, from wood and stone textures to photo engraving, and where are the limitations of exposed concrete?
- RECKLI formliners: How can individual textures and designs be created on concrete surfaces, and what possibilities do they offer for surface design?
- Exposed concrete classes SB1 to SB4: What quality levels exist, and how do the requirements for the finished concrete surface differ?
- Release agents and surface quality: Why is choosing the right release agent crucial for the final appearance of the concrete surface?
- Costs and economic efficiency: How much does a formliner cost, and how can the investment pay off through up to 100 reuses?
The podcast episode provides practical insights into the world of exposed concrete and highlights the versatility of concrete as a design element. In addition to technical fundamentals, it also addresses questions related to planning, execution and the economic aspects of exposed concrete surfaces.
This episode marks the beginning of a three-part podcast series featuring RECKLI, exploring various topics related to concrete and its design possibilities.
