Ductal for the New Generation - part II

Ductal® Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) was specified for use as external cladding panels at the TNG (The New Generation) new-build youth centre in the London borough of Lewisham. 175m2 of custom-made Ductal® corrugated panels were created to match the Plexiglas rainscreen cladding.  The centre was opened last month by Lewisham mayor Sir Steve Bullock.

Developed by Lafarge, Ductal® UHPC possesses a unique combination of superior properties including strength, ductility, durability and enhanced aesthetics. This enables designers to develop and realize new sculptural approaches to concrete forms. Armourcoat hold the first sublicense to manufacture Ductal® precast elements in the UK.
