® Honeycomb FR cladding

ATEx certification

Certification of our Honeycomb FR cladding method on metal frames ATEx (ATEx 3040 V1 HONEYCOMB FR) from the French Center of Science and Construction Technique.
A process allowing to install panels in public access buildings (PAB) and on buildings over 28 meters high in France.
Used for the facades of the Maybourne Riviera Hotel.
Now approved for suspended ceilings in seismic areas.
Mineral Expertise worked on the building of the avant-garde architecture of the Maybourne Riviera, which emerges from the rocky and wild coasts of the Roquebrune-Cap-Martin peninsula.
Mineral Expertise was in charge of the cladding of the cliff as well as the marble honeycomb cladding on facades, but also of the swimming pools, bathrooms and the gourmet restaurant run by the internationally renowned chef Mauro Colagreco.

EMPHASIZE MARBLE’S TRANSPARENCY PROPERTIES

This marble on glass process allows the natural daylight to illuminate the interior and the evening artificial lighting to glow outside emitting a warm, amber glow, while allowing panoramic views. This process offers a range of aesthetical solutions, such as different styles of face caps from horizontal to vertical lining, to a more minimalistic look using structural glazing or clamping technologies.
This marble on glass curtain walling also offers tailored solutions for those projects that require a specific architectural design for their facade. This process has been developed in association with AGC group (world’s leading producer of plate glass).
Our process of marble on structural glass offers architects the possibility to work panels of large dimension in fine thickness that can be integrated directly into curtain facades, by seeking to develop the lightness and transparency of this material (patented process).
The two main assets of the ®Eco-Mineral-Glass process consists of emphasizing the transparency properties of the marble and allowing a facade uniformity on the cladding.

® Eco Mineral Process

REALIZE THE MOST COMPLEX SHAPES

This completely new process allows us to realize the most complex shapes within a target of prices while saving on materials.
This technique is inspired by the Renaissance «commesso», widely used for centuries, but applied to our time thanks to algorithms, artificial intelligence and the power of our new drawing softwares (patented process).
