BENAVIDEZ PAPER JOINT TEXTURE

SKU: CF001-PAPERJOINT

The BENAVIDEZ Paper Joint Texture offers a sophisticated aesthetic for concrete facade cladding in the UAE. Engineered with a high-performance self-curing cement base, this 2-3mm thick architectural concrete solution provides the raw, industrial look of traditional facade panels without the structural weight. At our Jebel Ali facility, we manufacture these bespoke panels to meet specific project dimensions, ensuring seamless integration for both interior feature walls and exterior elevations. The paper joint technique creates a rhythmic, linear texture that enhances depth and shadow play. Designed specifically for the GCC climate, the material resists UV degradation and thermal expansion. Whether utilized as an exterior concrete tile alternative or a continuous facade panel in Dubai, it delivers a high-performance finish for commercial and residential developments across 43 countries.

Finish

Features a tactile, matte texture with subtle linear indentations. The neutral cementitious grey shifts in depth under direct sunlight, highlighting the paper-joint precision.

Maintenance

Low-maintenance surface requiring only periodic soft-pressure washing for exterior applications. For interior use, wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. The self-curing cement base is naturally resistant to staining; however, avoid harsh acidic cleaners to preserve the natural architectural concrete finish and the structural integrity of the 2-3mm layer.

Frequently asked questions

Can BENAVIDEZ be applied over existing masonry?
Yes, our BENAVIDEZ paper joint texture is ideal for retrofit projects. At a thickness of only 2-3mm, it can be applied directly to stable masonry, GRC, or cement board substrates. This makes it a preferred choice for concrete facade cladding in the UAE where weight constraints prevent the use of full-thickness precast panels. Our technical team in Jebel Ali provides detailed substrate preparation guidelines to ensure maximum adhesion and longevity in high-heat environments.
Is this product suitable for high-rise exterior cladding?
Absolutely. The self-curing cement base is formulated to withstand the extreme thermal cycling common in the GCC. Because it functions as a lightweight architectural concrete skin rather than a heavy tile, it reduces the dead load on high-rise structures while providing the premium look of a facade panel in Dubai. It meets international standards for fire resistance and UV stability, ensuring the texture remains crisp over decades of exposure.
What is the lead time for custom dimensions?
As we manufacture at our 33,000 sqm facility in Jebel Ali, we offer flexible lead times depending on project scale. Standard production for bespoke dimensions typically ranges from 3 to 5 weeks. We coordinate closely with procurement teams and architects to align with site installation schedules across the 43 countries we serve, ensuring that each BENAVIDEZ shipment arrives ready for immediate application.
