What is a decorative concrete panel?

A decorative concrete panel is a wall covering made of fiber-reinforced concrete, either molded or applied to a lightweight backing. Designed to provide a modern and aesthetic finish to interior spaces, it can be customized with various textures, patterns, and colors, offering a durable and resilient solution to enhance any type of design.

Can I use Panbeton or Slimbeton in a humid room?

Yes. Slimbeton and Panbeton panels can be installed in humid rooms (bathroom, spa, etc.).
Our recommendations are:
- No direct contact with water (e.g., shower cabins, sink or washbasin splashes, etc.)
- Not suitable for small rooms without ventilation or excessively humid spaces such as saunas or hammams
- Use suitable adhesives – make sure to check the manufacturer's technical data to ensure water resistance.
- Apply the "S" treatment (stain + hudrofuge protection) to protect the surface (the surface will remain sensitive to direct and repeated contact with water).
- If the panel is in direct contact with a damp floor: make sure to install a waterproof baseboard.

Note:
- The effect of humidity on the structural stability of the panel over time: not studied
- The effect of humidity on the aesthetic qualities of the panel over time (surface appearance, color): not studied.

Is it possible to create a fireplace cladding with Panbeton or Slimbeton?

The panels can be used for exterior cladding of the fireplace. In this case, it is important to ensure that the structural backing of the Panbeton is not exposed to heat to avoid expansion.
The heat resistance of the adhesive is critical. Choose an appropriate adhesive, heat-resistant up to 70°C.

Note:
- The chimney flue must be properly insulated according to standards.
- It is possible to use Panbéton panels classified A2 with an adhesive resistant up to 90°C.
- Custom-made panels can be manufactured, with a shell (without foam to avoid expansion)
