BENEFITS OF BUILDING WITH NATURAL OPAQUE MATERIALS
ARCHITECTURAL FREEDOM. Natural stone has been the first choice of master builders since the classic ages. Based on this tradition this timeless material is experiencing a renaissance among contemporary architects. Innovative cutting-edge forms, shapes and sizes previously impossible or unaffordable are now feasible due to innovations in computer aided manufacturing and processing technology.
NATURAL DIVERSITY. Natural stone is a 100% natural material. The earth‘s entire crust is made of it. A enormous diversity of colors and textures goes with it.
BROAD RANGE OF APPLICATIONS. Natural stone can be used for large scale facades as well as dimensional elements such, roofs, structural elements and floors. Post-tensioning can be used to further enhance its bearing capacity.
FLEXIBILITY FOR INTEGRATION IN BUILDING ENVELOPE. Natural stone facades can be hand set using panel anchors, integrated into unitized curtain wall systems or as part of a precast element. Installation and pro-cessing on site is done by certified setters using scaffolding or erectors using cranes.
LONGTERM DURABILITY. Natural stone ages beautifully and even after decades in use still looks good. Other than architectural precast concrete and glass fiber reinforced concrete natural stone will not change its color and surface over time. Natural stone can also be easily cleaned using waterjet or sandblasting.
HIGH LEVEL OF PROTECTION. Natural Stone façade protect a building against bad weather, heavy rain and temperature cycles. It is totally fire resistant and is classified as fire protection class A 1 as non- combustible material. With certain modifications if provides high levels force protection against blast, ballistics, forced entry and impact.
UNPARALLELD SUSTAINABILITY. Natural stone is 100% natural material fabriated without any by-products and is 100% recyclable even in its waste, It has the lowest energy consumption during production of any cladding material. HOFMANN derives all its energy from renewable sources like hydro and solar. Multiple of our projects have received LEED Gold and Platinum ratings from the Green Building Council. The Environ-mental Product Declaration EPD provides detailed figures on the eco- balance of natural stone.
MOST ECONOMIC PRODUCT LIFECYCLE COST. Natural stone is much more economic than glass, metal, con-crete or wood facades that either cost more upfront or will create enormous cost maintaining them.
HIGH ENERGY SAVINGS. Natural stone also helps to dramatically lower the energy a building consumes. As part of the building envelope it cools in the summer and keeps the heat in the winter. A study by thinkstep has recently proven a reduction of 40% of energy consumption compared to a transparent glass façade. Natural Stone has the best carbon footprint of any facade material.

Each stone comes from a specific location and quarry. Within the quarry there are beds and ledges that characterize the specific com-position of each material. Depending on the layer in the quarry the color and density may slightly vary. This geological diversity makes each stone panel and façade element a unique, one of a kind piece reflecting the beauty and rich diversity of nature. Other materials are available upon request. Our experienced in-house geologist will be able to offer their guidance.
HOFMANN FACADES’ 60 people in-house engineering department has developed a suite of specialty facade details ranging from propri-etary high performance undercut anchors to calibrated edges for soffits & corners to a variety of UHPC veneer systems.
