LB Light | Our innovative, non-combustible building material for facade elements
Non-flammable, making it perfect for all applications in facade design
Yes. LB Light is designed as a non-combustible facade element with a mineral wool core. According to the product documentation, the non-combustible insulation material meets high standards for structural fire protection.
This makes LB Light particularly attractive for construction projects where enhanced fire protection for the facade is required. It is precisely for such requirements that LB Light is recommended over facade elements made of EPS.
What are the advantages of the LB Light mineral wool core?
The mineral wool core combines two properties that are important for facade elements: It is non-combustible and has a high insulation value. As a result, LB-Light facade elements can be used both to improve structural fire protection as well as to the energy efficiency of the building envelope.
This combination can be particularly appealing for renovation and modernization projects, especially when the goal is to both enhance the façade’s aesthetic appeal and improve its technical performance.
What is the structure of an LB-Light facade element?
LB Light consists primarily of high-quality mineral wool. A textile-glass mesh on both sides provides the necessary reinforcement and thus ensures high stability and dimensional stability. The surface is coated with a specially developed cement-based skim coat.
This combination of a mineral wool core, textile-glass mesh, and special cement coating forms the basis for the properties of LB Light: non-combustible, thermally insulating, stable, weather-resistant, and customizable.
Are LB-Light facade elements weather-resistant?
The surface of LB Light is coated with a robust and weather-resistant special cement coating. This creates a durable protective layer for use on facades.
The combination of reinforcement and special cement coating also ensures the long-term dimensional stability of the elements under demanding weather conditions.
How lightweight are LB Light facade elements?
LB Light was designed with a lightweight mineral wool core. As a result, the facade elements have a comparatively low weight and are easier to transport, handle, and install than many solid facade materials.
The low weight is particularly advantageous for renovations, older buildings, and historic structures, as it places only a relatively small additional load on the existing building structure.
Customizable, freely designed facade elements / shapes to suit any design preference
LB Light can be manufactured using modern CNC manufacturing to be produced in virtually any desired shape. This makes it possible to create everything from simple profiles to complex architectural details and custom-made designs.
Possible applications include, for example, cornices, window surrounds, pilasters, moldings, and other custom-designed facade elements. CNC manufacturing ensures precise and repeatable production.
Is LB Light suitable for renovation and energy-efficient retrofitting?
Yes. Especially when it comes to renovations and energy-efficient renovations, LB Light offers several advantages. The elements combine a high R-value with non-combustible properties and great design flexibility.
This allows existing buildings to be upgraded both energetically and visually without having to compromise on individual profiles, historical forms, or modern architectural accents in the design.
Can LB Light be used in historic preservation projects?
LB Light is also suitable, according to the product documentation, for the renovation of historic buildings and the reconstruction of historic facades.
Thanks to CNC manufacturing, existing profiles and facade details can be precisely replicated. These include, among other things, cornices, moldings, pilasters, window and door surrounds, boss stones, keystones, and decorative facade elements.
Can existing historic facades be reconstructed using LB Light?
Yes. Historical profiles can be custom-reproduced based on existing profiles, drawings, or plans. CNC technology enables the production of virtually any desired profile cross-section.
This makes LB Light suitable both for the faithful reconstruction of lost or damaged facade elements and for the custom design of modern facades.
What happens if the dimensions of the building shell on the construction site differ from the plans?
Despite careful planning, dimensional deviations cannot always be avoided in construction and renovation projects. LB-Light facade elements can be modified on-site as needed.
According to the product documentation, length adjustments and minor dimensional corrections can be made using standard tools. This allows the elements to be adapted to the actual conditions of the structure without necessarily having to manufacture new elements.
EPS facade elements
What are EPS facade elements?
EPS stands for expanded polystyrene rigid foam. EPS facade elements from LB Fassadenelemente are particularly lightweight, can be made weather-resistant through a special coating, and can be manufactured in virtually any desired shape using CNC processes.
EPS is therefore particularly well-suited for facade designs where low weight, custom shaping, and cost-effective production play an important role.
What are the advantages of EPS facade elements?
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil von EPS ist das geringe Gewicht. Dadurch können die Elemente einfach und kostengünstig montiert werden. Hinzu kommen die flexible Formgebung durch CNC-Fertigung und die Möglichkeit, die Elemente vor Ort nachzubearbeiten.
Bei einer vollflächigen Verwendung von EPS-Fassadenelementen an einer Fassade kann außerdem der Dämmwert des Materials von Vorteil sein.
How are EPS facade elements installed?
The EPS facade elements consist of a core made of rigid expanded polystyrene foam. This core is reinforced with a fiberglass mesh and then coated with a special cement-based skim coat.
The coating forms the surface of the facade element and ensures a weather-resistant finish.
When is EPS the right choice for a facade?
EPS is particularly appealing when you’re looking for a facade element that is as lightweight, cost-effective, and customizable as possible. Thanks to CNC manufacturing, virtually any desired profile cross-section can be produced.
For projects with heightened fire safety requirements—especially when non-combustible facade elements are explicitly required—LB Fassadenelemente recommends LB Light.
Is EPS suitable for historic facades and historic preservation?
Ja. EPS-Fassadenelemente können für die Rekonstruktion historischer Fassaden eingesetzt werden. Durch die CNC-Fertigung lassen sich individuelle Profilquerschnitte herstellen und bestehende architektonische Formen nachbilden.
Das geringe Gewicht erleichtert zudem die Montage bei Sanierungs- und Restaurierungsprojekten.
What is the difference between EPS and LB Light?
The main difference lies in the material composition and properties. EPS is based on expanded polystyrene rigid foam and is characterized in particular by its very low weight, cost-effective processing, and flexible shaping.
LB Light, on the other hand, has a mineral wool core and is used as non-combustible facade element. It is therefore particularly suitable for projects that require both enhanced fire safety and thermal insulation, low weight, and custom design are in demand.
Artificial Stone / Concrete Facade Elements
What are artificial stone facade elements?
Artificial stone is used by LB Fassadenelemente as a solid, concrete-based facade material. The elements are weather-resistant and non-combustible and can be manufactured in virtually any desired shape using the company’s in-house mold-making process.
Artificial stone is therefore an option for solid facade elements where, in addition to the shape, the material properties and robustness of a solid material are required.
What are the advantages of artificial stone in facade design?
Artificial stone is a solid material that can be colored with colored sand. LB Fassadenelemente’s in-house mold-making process also allows for a high degree of flexibility in the design and fabrication of custom elements.
Additional advantages include weather resistance and the fact that it is non-combustible. Artificial stone can be used for both new facade designs and the restoration of historic building components.
Isn't artificial stone non-flammable?
Yes. The product documentation for LB facade elements describes artificial stone and concrete as non-combustible building materials.
This property can be particularly relevant for public sector projects where stricter fire safety requirements apply.
Where are artificial stone facade elements used?
According to the product documentation, solid facade elements made of artificial stone are primarily used on facades with a masonry facing. Another application is the faithful reproduction of existing solid building elements.
In addition, the elements are suitable for the reconstruction of historic facades and for projects involving the preservation of historic buildings.
Can artificial stone facade elements be custom-made?
Yes. LB Fassadenelemente has its own mold-making facility. This allows the company to manufacture artificial stone or concrete facade elements in virtually any desired shape.
