When implementing projects related to public facilities, it is crucial to build a positive first impression. Practically everyone who visits a particular facility, even before entering the building, forms an opinion about the place they are visiting. Therefore, no less important than the atmosphere inside the building is its arrangement outside, which should be a promising preview of what is hidden behind the door. And there is no room for any concessions here, after all, you can only make the first impression once.
Modern façade – a real showcase of the building
When we talk about the external appearance of virtually every building, the façade comes to the fore, the appropriate arrangement of which is important in relation to the positive (or not) perception of the building as a coherent whole. Façade panels – their size, colour, shape and quality – as an element that can dominate the first impression, often play a major role when it comes to the façade of a building. Due to the fact that the appearance of the façade should harmonize with both the surroundings and the purpose of the place it represents, it is extremely important to properly match the elements used.
In the case of large-size buildings, many of which can be observed in public space, it is extremely important that the design is refined to the smallest detail. Even a minor shortcoming can ruin the final effect. Fortunately, there are many solutions available on the market for the use of façade panels. Their virtually unlimited arrangement possibilities in terms of shapes, patterns or color palette allow even the most daring and original design projects to come true.
The DASAG brand offers its customers an extremely wide range of products that will meet the expectations of the most demanding customers. In the case of light and modern buildings, small-dimensional, unreinforced façade tiles with a thickness of 5 cm and maximum dimensions of 50×150 cm, produced in the self-compacting concrete technology, are extremely popular. When it comes to massive and “heavier” spaces, we recommend reinforced panels with a thickness of up to 20 cm and maximum dimensions of 300×120 cm. Our company’s offer also includes elements of jambs, cornices and window sills, which subtly complement the entire investment. They are often made to order, according to individual designs. Due to the wide range of available options, the brand’s solutions are eagerly used by investors who place particular emphasis on aesthetic values and decide to implement unusual, but at the same time delightful architectural ideas.
Wide selection of façade panels
Dasag façade panels are based on the use of noble concrete and are available in sanded, sanded and sandblasted versions, as well as sandblasted. Thanks to the smoothed surface with a delicate gloss, obtained as a result of grinding in the processing process, the collection of boards such as Indigo Bello is an interesting proposition for those who appreciate showing the aesthetic values of modern building façade in all its glory. These types of products can be successfully used in office buildings or municipal offices.
For investors who put emphasis on the highest degree of elegance, the Atena Prato collection, which combines utility values with the decorative character of the material, is intended. Due to the fact that the production is based on granite, the extremely chic arrangement will be perfect for the most representative buildings, which include cultural and scientific facilities, museums and amphitheaters.
The Indigo Prato and Promenada Prato collections touch on the subject in a completely different way, the finish of which shows an unconventional approach to using the possibilities offered by façade stone. In the production process, it is subjected to the so-called sandblasting – a process that gives the surface a delicate roughness, thanks to the partial exposure of the aggregate grains from which the façade tiles are made. Such solutions can often be found in the finishing of hotels, courts or offices. The whole is complemented by a wide selection of designs and colors, which will allow modern facades to perfectly fit into the surroundings with taste and sensitivity, while fully reflecting the character and function of each building.
Facade panels – an almost indestructible material
Aesthetics, although extremely important, cannot be the only advantage of the solutions used. In the end, the most important thing is the quality of workmanship and the technical qualities of the materials. In this regard, façade panels from the Dasag brand can also boast a multitude of features that have a positive impact on the overall perception of the investment. First of all, a modern building façade should be characterized by high strength and durability. Resistance to constantly changing weather conditions, mechanical damage or increased wear and tear is an absolute primer of the advantages that façade panels must have. Other extremely important advantages will be resistance to deterioration and aging, thanks to which the facades will successfully decorate the facades for many years. Architectural solutions must also meet the assumed safety requirements. Due to the fact that modern building facades are their showcase and a harbinger of what is inside, it is also extremely important to keep even the most difficult to access elements of the panels clean.
The example comes from the outside
Properly selected façade panels perfectly reflect the atmosphere of the place they decorate. An example of a great use of their advantages is Metropolitan – one of the most modern office buildings in Warsaw. The 22nd-century design by Norman Forster, one of the most important contemporary architects, is based on a façade built of a glass wall, intersected by concrete slabs. Such an unobvious combination gave an electrifying effect that takes your breath away.
On the other hand, façade tiles perfectly reflect the character of the place, where a subtle reference to its history and cultural significance is extremely important. The flagship example is the Folkwang Museum located in the German town of Essen, which is currently one of the most important European exhibitions of nineteenth-century painting. The use of façade panels allowed to fully bring out the spirit of the past and provided the right scenery in which the works of the most outstanding European artists, such as Picasso, Dali and Monet, are presented in all their glory.
The implementation of projects in public space (office buildings, offices or cultural facilities) is based on several key elements. One of the most important is a properly arranged façade. High quality workmanship, comfort of use, ease of care – this is the absolute basis. However, these aspects must go hand in hand with aesthetic values, to which no one remains indifferent. Only such a combination gives an effect that is becoming more and more commonly desired by investors, architects and designers. Because even if it is not the clothes that make a person, and the book should not be judged by its cover, the first impression will always affect the overall assessment of the whole. Especially in urban space.
