FACADES CONSTRUCTION

Bärlocher takes responsibility and works closely with clients, planners, construction managers and architects. We are committed to every single façade made of Rorschach sandstone. Because we know that they are anything but standard. It is something special. From a sustainability perspective, the use of this regional building material makes perfect sense in the Lake Constance region and beyond.

Facade construction consisting of two wall shells and a heat-insulating intermediate layer. Inner load-bearing wall made of brick or concrete, outer self-supporting cladding made of at least 12 cm thick natural stone, with glass wool or rock wool insulation in between. Durable and long-lasting façade. The appearance changes depending on how the natural stones are processed, for example with sawn stones (smooth surface) or split stones (rough surface).

The load-bearing concrete structure with upright and horizontal elements is filled with sandstone. Stones at least 12 cm thick. Brickwork with retaining anchors to secure the stones. The use of split stones creates an effective contrast to the smooth surface. The color of our natural stone harmonizes very well with the grey of the concrete.

Concrete supporting structure, approx. 4 cm thick stone slabs are hung in front. Glass wool or rock wool insulation between concrete and stone slab. The natural stone slabs are attached to the load-bearing concrete wall with a metal construction. Surface treatment and different panel thicknesses can shape the relief of the façade.
