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...
Concrete Details
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...
