Tie points and their closure are essential for high-quality exposed concrete. Tie points and their closure are essential for high-quality exposed concrete. This is well illustrated by the new headquarters of the project developer and building contractor weisenburger (sic!) in Karlsruhe. It had to be exposed concrete, and if it was to be exposed concrete, then it had to be by the exposed concrete architect Tadao Ando! The formwork joints...

We are happy to take part in a project like this, even with a simple part such as a concrete cone, because even avant-garde needs concrete cones. Berlin has a new architectural highlight! .     After a design by Rem Koolhaas, an avant-garde 3-point throw was created in the former newspaper district. The 300 million project began in October 2016. It is supposed to be more than just a...

Particularly exposed concrete architecture requires special detailed solutions. The concrete facade is soft-drawn with a structured surface. This is a nice contrast to the pointed edges. The dark anthracite of the concrete appears massive. This is addressed by the large, free intermediate levels. In order to ensure that the anchor points of the site-cast concrete components do not cause any disturbance in the defined sections, the color and surface of...

The details make the difference. A private construction site in Adelsried shows how important details are for harmonious exposed concrete. Clamping points are almost unavoidable in the construction of concrete walls. The anchors are used to span the formwork so that it can withstand the pressure of the concrete. This leaves round openings with a diameter of approx. 4 cm. In exposed concrete, these anchor points are also a characteristic...

This exposed concrete creates atmosphere. Just the right thing to work on the next space mission. Sober, technocratic concrete leaves room to think about outer space. The building contractor took it seriously and worked out every small feature in meticulous detail. The quality-critical points, such as formwork spreaders, were purchased as high-quality, precise prefabricated elements with the MARO® sealing cone. These prefabricated elements were assembled in the MARO® GmbH factory...

Saturday, 27. Oktober 2012 12:20:47 Europe/Berlin The German Aerospace Center opted for a simple, functional architecture for various new buildings. It is precisely here that concrete is the material of choice. The following pictures show different construction phases of the site in Cologne. Class 3 and 4 exposed concrete was required. MARO® GmbH produced the color-coordinated exposed concrete cones according to the specifications of the construction sites.      ...

The high-quality house found its place on the idyllic Lower Rhine. Together with MARO® experts, the building contractor put together a package of formwork accessories for the fair-faced concrete. Thus, the quality-relevant details were provided from a single source. These included: MARO® sealing cones and the matching sealing cone. suitable spacers for the wall reinforcement. sealing tapes for the formwork facing joint and sharp-edged recesses. A great result. It shows...

Monday, 29. Juli 2013 11:15:08 Europe/Berlin During the construction of the Oberhausen indoor swimming pool, the installation of the matching MARO® concrete cones completed the orderly anchor point pattern. With a total of 1,700 concrete cones, the expansion tube-free formwork could find a suitable closure.        If you have any questions regarding the project, formwork accessories for fair-faced concrete and design possibilities with concrete cones, please contact us!
