The new technical data sheet on fair-faced concrete [1] extends the concept of fair-faced concrete classes [2] established for in-situ concrete construction by adding specific requirements for precast construction. It addresses builders, architects, precasters and building contractors with important recommendations for planning and execution.
Concrete is one of the most versatile and diverse construction materials of our time. It serves as structural building material and is comprehensively standardized and regulated for this task. But concrete also frequently serves for the design of buildings. Fair-faced concrete is referred to when requirements for the appearance of concrete surfaces are defined as early as in the planning stage and will later be permanently visible on the building.
The requirements for fair-faced concrete are therefore characterized by expectations that are placed on its visual appearance and that are...
