Founded in 2007 with only 2 employees as a start-up from RWTH Aachen University, Germany, LUCEM today produces light-transmitting concrete for worldwide projects at its new production site. Architects all over the world rely on the technically mature and robust LUCEM concrete slabs with and without optical fibers. The high quality of the LUCEM Lichtbeton® concrete panels shows the competence of the company, which builds on in-depth know-how and market-driven innovations. The result is a high-tech material made in Germany that enables fascinating architectural designs.
Whether as outer skin or inner wall, whether as floor or wall cladding, as a vanity, furniture or decorative object: LUCEM Lichtbeton® combines the versatility of the concrete with the attractiveness of shimmering lightness and invites you to design with light and shadow, transparency and massiveness, artificial light and daylight, with inside and outside.
LUCEM Lichtbeton® acts as an elegant, withdrawn light source in various applications. Depending on the design, this leads to completely different light effects. From a cool and discreet effect to a strongly accentuated light source. The spectrum of architectural possibilities is nearly unlimited. Concrete made with water, sand and cement only plus the extremely fine optical fibers create a illuminated surface, while their static and haptic properties of a typical concrete panel remain untouched.
The translucent fibers are parallelized and then automatically inserted layer by layer into the concrete. The result is a large-format concrete block from which the slabs are cut. The surfaces of the panels are available in polished and brushed silk matt. This is how the noble surface is achieved, which makes LUCEM Lichtbeton® high quality even without light.
Diffused daylight and direct sunlight make Lichtbeton® shine in the entire color spectrum of these natural light sources. Artificial light sources can create varying colors or fascinating effects and give architects completely new possibilities for designing rooms.
