Featherweight concrete Nidaplast makes concrete lighter for practical designer furniture

摘要

NIDAPLAST composites supply honeycomb structural panels that allow the use of concrete without the usual weight constraints. Nidaplast solutions now make it possible to combine traditional heavy materials like concrete and natural stone with polypropylene honeycomb panels. This process makes it feasible to work with a thin skin of raw material. The resulting sandwich panel is two thirds lighter and stronger than a solid concrete panel."We use Nidapan to reduce the weight of a table by two thirds. With a 10mm thick layer of concrete we obtain ultra-strong surfaces that do not shrink, crack or mist" says Gilles Dubois Pagnon, Director of the Concrete Touch design studio, which specialises in concrete. The combined properties of this new structure make it possible to design fashionable, uncluttered spaces that are both understated and modern.
