REC Betonlith offers architectural concrete ranging from ultra-lightweight to ultra-hard varieties. The concrete boasts a refined aesthetic—understated, clean, modern, and warm. It is an SCC (Self-Compacting Concrete) architectural grade that can be modified with sophisticated mineral additives—including custom formulations—and features either smooth or textured surfaces. Color options range from solid black and ultra-bright "signal white" (suitable for traffic applications) to warm tones for interior design. REC Bauelemente is your partner for sophisticated, balanced quality in both appearance and material. In line with circular economy principles, priority is given to the use of recycled materials.

Lightweight fillers made from recycled glass and volcanic rock meet stringent weight-saving requirements while offering advantages in terms of transport and processing. The use of selected fillers—such as sand-lime brick dust and basalt flour—allows for the creation of sophisticated color profiles that rival natural stone in appearance while surpassing it in technical performance. Floor tiles featuring a slate-effect relief finish, installed in Berlin’s Corbusier House over two decades ago, show no signs of wear to this day. Similarly, heavy-duty platform tiles used by Deutsche Bahn (DB) have proven their technical reliability and remain stain-free. Flooring tiles are installed in franchise stores across the globe. Even freestanding steles—such as those on Berlin’s Museum Island—retain their crisp edges, despite the heavy stress caused by objects being chained to them during weekly markets.

For many architectural applications, maximum strength is not the primary requirement; instead, the advantages of low weight are sought after.
To meet this need, REC Bauelemente offers the development of "Betonlith Light" products, ranging up to ultra-lightweight materials.
