In the heart of Schwendi, Germany a new residential complex presents a modern, elegant facade that combines mixed materials with thoughtful architectural accents. As part of this design, Kronoart compact boards were used for specific facade elements facing the street and for smaller outdoor units on terraces and balconies, enhancing both the building’s appearance and functional performance.
A premium look with technical advantages
The K6299 BS Cobalt Grey decor was selected to harmonize with the building’s combination of metal, render, tiles, and paint, creating a cohesive and contemporary exterior. By applying Kronoart selectively rather than across the entire facade, the project achieves subtle architectural highlights that draw attention to street-facing elements and outdoor utility areas.
Beyond aesthetics, Kronoart delivers key functional advantages for exposed outdoor applications:
• UV stability: Preserves color and appearance for years, even under prolonged sun exposure.
• Abrasion resistance: Withstands handling, cleaning, and wind-blown particles such as grit and sand.
• Weather & water resistance: Performs reliably under extreme weather conditions, suitable for vertical and horizontal surfaces.
• Fire retardant properties: Supports building safety and compliance.
• Low maintenance & easy to clean: Keeps façades looking premium with minimal upkeep.
• Flexible application: Allows integration of functional fittings like hinges, door knobs, and handles for balconies or small outdoor units.
Functionality meets architecture
Modern facades require more than visual appeal - they must protect the building from atmospheric influences, climate changes, and external wear, while contributing to a warm and inviting architectural character. Kronoart compact boards deliver both style and durability, adding texture, color, and material depth that complement traditional and modern elements alike.
In this project, the use of Kronoart compact boards highlights specific facade features and outdoor units, demonstrating how modern materials can enhance functionality and visual identity simultaneously.
