Doors and gate constructions made of UHPC

Doors and gates to buildings have been constructed
of wood all over the world for hundreds of years. A
material that was available everywhere. There were
simple doors and gates and there were incredibly
beautiful, filigree doors and gates. There were also
doors and gates that were used exclusively for
military security and where design was absolutely
irrelevant.

Today, doors and gates in architecture are made of
light metal or plastic. In industry and in security
areas, for example, doors and gates must be fireproof,
watertight, burglar-proof, explosion-proof, etc. The

list of requirements is long.

Up to now, concrete as a material for doors and gates
was only possible for safe constructions, as concrete
constructions are very heavy.
With UHPC Ultra High Performance Concrete, the
possible uses changed completely.

UHPC material
 - achieves very high strengths
 - can be produced in relatively thin layers

 - is absolutely waterproof
 - is salt water resistant
 - is highly wear-resistant
 - can reach temperatures up to max. Withstand 1200°C
 - can withstand high blast pressures
 - is used in ballistics
 - can be shaped very precisely
 - can be easily combined with wood, metal, minerals
    and glass
 - is nanotechnology, the finest surface structures can
    be produced

 - enables the production of very small, fine concrete
    elements
- enables large door geometries weighing several tons
    can be colored easily
 - is processed in a similar way to standard concrete
