No space without surfaces. No interior without exterior. A facade is the defining element of every building. The first and the lasting impression.
Natural. Durable. Hand-formed. Fiber cement is weatherproof, durable and stable. This makes it the perfect material for outdoor planters and design objects.
Interior space is living space. Our facade panels are also used in interior design. The design requirements include aesthetic aspects, resistance and special tactile properties.
The roof is the crowning glory of a building. In addition to aesthetic requirements, it must be economically sustainable and offer maximum safety.

The natural materials used and constant innovation have made this 100-year-old material very sought-after and indispensable in today’s architecture.

That is what makes Swisspearl fibre cement a sustainable material for designers.
