Large surfaces
with ventilated walls
CLADIA® UHPC with Ductal® inside is born from the experience and the union of the competences of two international companies: Zanette, Italian producer of precast concrete panels, and Lafargeholcim, world leader in building materials. Cladia® represents a revolution for the construction sector in which aesthetics, functionality, sustainability, resistance and simplicity of assembly are now indispensable prerogatives for the creation of latest generation projects. These particular cladding panels are made of UHPC Ductal® concrete, a material that allows to produce large flat elements with thin thickness, maximum yield over time and with a wide range of colors as well as surface finishes, also customizable by the laboratory Zanette.
