fibreC, which is also known as “concrete skin” and has won international architectural awards - is a concrete panel reinforced with glassfibres which combines the advantages of concrete and glassfibres in one product: it is as solid, mouldable and durable as concrete, but thanks to the glassfibres also thin-walled, fireproof and light-weight. Like a skin of concrete, it allows the construction of slim elements with a tensile strength. The extremely thin concrete slabs contribute to the new language of shapes.
