RECKLI artico® neo

Architectural Concrete with a depth effect: Light-independent visualization of photos and graphics in the concrete surface. For unlimited freedom of design.

The façade is the external appearance of an object. It can tell a story and arouse curiosity, make the hidden visible and emphasize the purpose of a building. It can excite or shock, inspire and fascinate.

artico® neo complements the creative freedom for architectural concrete with an essential component. Photos, images, custom designs and graphics can be made visible with this procedure. The influence of light and shadow is irrelevant. That is why artico® neo is also excellently suited for use in the interior.

The process is simple: artico® neo is a plastic foil on which graphics or photos are printed with a high-quality concrete activator. The concrete activator causes the concrete to set at a different time so that it can be washed out on the surface after demolding. The uppermost cement skin is partially removed. The contrast between the washed out and smooth surfaces makes the graphics or photos visible. The foils are intended for single use.

artico® neo Individual

Your custom design or photo is printed in the max. dimension of 122,05" x 984,25" on a plastic foil (foil dimension 124,02"x 984,25") and cut to the desired size. We take care of the preparation of the files and send a visualization on request. Photos are fragmented into halftone dots just like in newspaper printing. Their size depends on the image template and the viewing distance and is defined project-specifically. Designs that have been produced once can be re-ordered at any time. Thanks to the special production process, no setup costs arise.

Manufacturing process

01

US Formliner prints the design onto a special foil.

02

The artico foil is laid into the mold.

03

The cement is poured into the mold.

04

Once the cement has hardened, the concrete element can be unmolded.

05

The foil is simply removed from the concrete element and the concrete is washed out with a high-pressure cleaner.

06

The interplay of washed out and smooth surfaces makes the design visible.
