TUYAU GROOVED TEXTURE

SKU: CF001-GROOVED

TUYAU GROOVED TEXTURE by Prastara is a premium concrete facade cladding solution engineered for the UAE's demanding climate. Utilizing a specialized self-curing cement base, these 2-3mm thick panels offer a lightweight yet durable alternative to traditional heavy precast. The grooved texture provides a rhythmic, linear aesthetic that enhances verticality in architectural concrete designs. Manufactured at our Jebel Ali facility, these panels are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, providing a seamless transition between spaces. They are applied directly to stable substrates, significantly reducing structural load compared to standard facade panels in Dubai. This range is ideal for designers seeking a raw, industrial finish with the flexibility of custom dimensions tailored to specific project requirements.

Finish

The grooved texture features deep, precise linear recesses that create dynamic shadow play under direct sunlight. Its matte, tactile surface maintains the authentic raw aesthetic of natural architectural concrete.

Maintenance

Routine maintenance involves periodic washing with low-pressure water and mild, pH-neutral detergents to remove dust and environmental pollutants. For exterior concrete tiles in high-traffic areas, we recommend a clear silane-siloxane sealer to enhance stain resistance. Avoid abrasive tools or acidic cleaners which may etch the cementitious surface.

Frequently asked questions

What are the installation requirements for TUYAU GROOVED TEXTURE?
Installation of this concrete facade cladding in the UAE requires a structurally sound, flat substrate such as plastered masonry, cement board, or metal framing. Due to the 2-3mm thickness, the panels are lightweight and can be adhered using high-performance flexible tile adhesives. We recommend professional installation by our IHGIND team to ensure precise alignment of the grooved patterns across joints and to manage thermal expansion gaps effectively in large-scale exterior applications.
Can these panels withstand the high temperatures and humidity of the GCC?
Yes, TUYAU GROOVED TEXTURE is specifically formulated with a self-curing cement base designed for the GCC climate. The material exhibits high thermal stability and UV resistance, preventing cracking or delamination under intense heat. Its non-combustible nature makes it a safe choice for high-rise facade panels in Dubai and across the region, where material performance under extreme environmental stress is a critical procurement factor.
Are custom dimensions and colors available for this product?
While the standard finish is an architectural grey, Prastara offers a library of over 500 finishes. We can customize the dimensions and tonal variations of the grooved texture to meet specific project requirements. Our Jebel Ali facility allows for rapid prototyping and production of bespoke architectural concrete elements, ensuring that designers can achieve a unique aesthetic without the lead times associated with imported materials.
