HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE – CRC A new generation of balconies and galleries can now be achieved in a minimalistic and elegant design – as well as in new structural systems and optimized ways of transportation and installation. The High Performance Concrete for balconies is patented under the name ”CRC” – Compact Reinforced Composite. The CRC products are unique because they combine the free shape ability of concrete, the strength of steel and a higher durability than both steel and normal concrete. This makes CRC superior in very extreme environments where complex or slender shapes are requested and very special structural properties are required. Balconies in normal concrete
Aesthetical and Structural Innovation in CRC
Advantages of Hi-Con CRC Balconies - Slender and elegant design - Freedom in design - Flexible and mouldable properties of concrete - Thin design gives more daylight in apartments - 67% lower weight of balconies - Lower transportation costs - Larger balcony area - same weight load on building - Savings of structural reinforcement in floor slaps - Savings on the foundation of the building - 100+ year design life - Dense concrete surface – low maintenance - Smaller crane needed for installation Balconies in High Performance Concrete
