To celebrate 50 years of our reconstituted stone rainscreen, Petrarch, we\u2019re pleased to reveal we\u2019ve added a brand new product to our portfolio. Unveiled earlier in the year by our esteemed distributors, CFS Nederland BV, Petrarch PlanX is a super-light, super-slim (7mm) panel manufactured predominantly from otherwise waste material, which brings a high-end contemporary aesthetic to every design project.<\/p>\n
Petrarch reconstituted stone has been innovating the facade market for over 50 years and is a tried and trusted facade material which comes with BBA certification and a 50 year guarantee. These same dependable qualities are now available in a modern environmentally-friendly, easy-to-install format.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In terms of its physical qualities, Petrarch PlanX offers all the dependable features our clients have come to expect from Petrarch reconstituted stone panels, with the sole difference being that the panels have been pre-cut to a slim plinth to complement modern design styles and to maximise what would otherwise be by-product waste material. The fire resistance, durability, weather, impact and general \u2018resistance\u2019 attributes, remain the same – as quantified by our BBA testing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In this recent leisure centre application, Het Baken in Zeewolde, you can see how these sleek Petrarch PlanX complement the vibrant contemporary facade perfectly.<\/p>\n
We recently had the pleasure of talking with CFS Nederland\u2019s Director, Michiel Traa, who was very complimentary about our new facade product:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really proud of the result of Het Baken in Zeewolde sports centre, it\u2019s the first example of a fa\u00e7ade created with Petrarch PlanX. We think it\u2019s important to look after our planet’s resources and are extremely proud of this sustainable new product. In fact, Petrarch PlanX is a residual by-product. Otherwise waste material from the production of the large-format panels is sawn into a slimmer, lightweight facade boards – slimline PlanX.\u201d The very fact that this building material is created from by-product material makes it extremely enviable for the eco-conscious developer.<\/p>\n
About CFS & Petrarch Panels<\/h3>\n
CFS Netherlands has been importing Petrarch’s facade panels into the Dutch market since 2008. The reconstituted stone panel \u00a0is considerably lighter in weight than its natural stone rivals and is therefore so easy to install. What\u2019s more it\u2019s available in many colours and lends itself perfectly to a ventilated fa\u00e7ade application.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Pete Brough, Managing Director of Petrarch – manufacturer of Petrarch PlanX, had this to say about Petrarch\u2019s relationship with CFS Nederland.<\/p>\n
\n\u2018We\u2019re extremely proud to partner with a distributor who shares our vision and is truly excited by our products. We constantly look to ways to innovate and Petrarch PlanX is our most recent testament to this. Given that these slim Petrarch PlanX are manufactured in an \u2018environmentally friendly\u2019 manner makes them all the more appealing for facade designers and architects who are keen to implement greener materials on their projects. We\u2019re thrilled with the result of Het Baken in Zeewolde sport centre and are looking forward to developing more showcase projects on a worldwide scale. I\u2019d like to take a moment to thank everyone involved and look forward to working closely together on more showcase projects.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Petrarch is a fibreglass-reinforced panel manufactured in the UK, using predominantly natural minerals, such as marble and stone.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe product offers unprecedented design freedom because we can totally customise the aesthetic using custom pigments to provide a completely individual facade panel,” explains Michiel of CFS Netherlands. “The sky is the limit with Petrarch, both in terms of colour and texture, and all this is even morebudget-friendly thanks to the new Petrarch PlanX slim format. The product is lightweight, does not absorb dirt and moisture and is very easy to clean.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ready-made facade system<\/h3>\n
Petrarch is available in thicknesses of 7 or 10 millimetres and is usually mechanically or adhesive fixed. “We supply the complete facade construction turnkey, including design, calculation and aluminium substructure,” says Michiel. “Everything is organised from the office in Oosterhout, which is very convenient for facade builders.” Architects also appreciate the benefits of Petrarch. “Recent Netherlands projects finished with Petrarch fa\u00e7ade panels are the police station in Bergen op Zoom and the Radisson Blu hotel in Bruges.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Petrarch also lends itself ideally to interior applications, as in the Phoenix building in Brussels. The possibilities are endless when it comes to its colour palette too, with a choice of over 1500 shades as well as custom shades. For the police station project in Bergen op Zoom, for example, Van Pelt architects combined four custom colours.\u201d<\/p>\n
langen + Koenis Architecten have been strong advocates of Petrarch for many years, and are extremely proud of their Petrarch PlanX premier.<\/p>\n
Initially, the idea was to use precast concrete for the facade at Het Baken, \u00a0but in the end we opted for Petrarch PlanX, a much lighter and budget-friendly alternative. “The advantage is that, like the sheet material, we can produce the planks in any colours and textures, so the appearance of concrete or brick can be easily emulated, which is exactly what we\u2019ve done here. Petrarch PlanX (only 7mm thick) were supplied in three striking grey shades, resulting in an attractive and varied fa\u00e7ade aesthetic.\u201d\u00a0Slangen + Koenis Architecten<\/p>\n
