The reuse of building materials is the current and future response to several global environmental challenges. We are now launching Steni Colour Reuse \u2013 fa\u00e7ade panels that can be used several times.<\/p>\n

From landfill to reuse<\/h2>\n

Imagine an old building being demolished. Have you considered that some parts of the building can still be used and therefore should not be sent to a landfill? Unfortunately, this has happened in several cases with our fa\u00e7ade panels, which have an expected lifetime of over 100 years. That is why we are now launching Steni Colour Reuse, a set of standardised fa\u00e7ade panels that systemise reuse.<\/p>\n

At Steni, we have a strong focus on the environment and sustainability and work to minimize negative environmental impact in the construction industry by optimizing our production, products, processes and distribution.<\/p>\n

We want to send as little materials as possible out of the cycle and are therefore in the process of industrializing sustainable reuse of fa\u00e7ade panels. Our goal is that 100% of Steni Colour Reuse can be reused after serving in a building. Either they are used as is, or by upgrading them with a new color if the customer wishes. This helps to solve the major environmental challenges we have in the world today.<\/p>\n

Flexible solutions with room for creativity<\/h2>\n

It is easy to think that a scheme with reuse of standardised fa\u00e7ade panels places major restrictions on the design of buildings, but this is not the case with Steni Colour Reuse. The formats provide the flexibility to change the design and assembly direction from one building to another with the same panels.<\/p>\n

Our long-term goal is that the building is seen as a temporary residence for our fa\u00e7ade panels. This requires knowledge of construction methods, design and materials. But most importantly a reuse product that is extremely long life span and technical qualities that make it possible to assemble, disassemble and reinstall the product without it being destroyed in the process. Most other fa\u00e7ade panel types will have major challenges when they are dismantled, transported and reassembled, such as cracks and bulging. The solidity and impact resistance built into the Steni panels ensure that this is not a problem for us.<\/p>\n

While our regular Steni Colour fa\u00e7ade panels come in almost every conceivable format, Steni Colour Reuse has 12 different panel sizes with standard drilling patterns \u2013 similar to the\u00ae lego mindset. With these panel formats, 80 standard colours and 3 gloss levels, the possibilities for variation are enormous. The built-in possibility of horizontal, vertical and diagonal installation gives architects and builders a unique leeway to create unique fa\u00e7ade expressions.<\/p>\n

Colours on buildings are essential.<\/h2>\n

80-90% of all buildings in Norway are white, black, or grey. However, colours provide energy and are important for the human psyche, according to recent research.<\/a><\/p>\n

While the regular Steni Colour facade panels come in almost every conceivable format and shape, Steni Colour Reuse has 12 different panel sizes with standard drilling patterns \u2013 similar to the concept behind Lego\u00ae. With these panel formats, 80 standard colours, and 3 gloss levels, the possibilities for variation are enormous. The built-in options for horizontal, vertical, and diagonal installation give architects and builders unique freedom to create distinctive facade expressions.<\/p>\n

Steni offers room for creativity and colours.<\/p>\n

Development for the future<\/h2>\n

In the construction industry, we are already seeing an increased focus on reuse, where we have to choose products that are suitable for reuse and material recycling. We know that way of thinking is going to become more common. This is because authorities, builders and tax systems have already implemented requirements, regulations and laws that will ensure a place for reuse materials.<\/p>\n

Until now, reuse in the construction industry has usually meant that building materials were broken down into individual ingredients \u2013 and then that the raw materials were used in other products and contexts. It’s a good way to become more sustainable. But we believe that reusing the materials as they are is an even better solution to the world’s environmental and raw material challenges. Then products like Steni Colour Reuse are a good choice and a big step in the right direction. Either by reusing them directly on new buildings or by upgrading them.<\/p>\n

\"Steni<\/p>\n

After more than 60 years of application experience, with a 60-year warranty and an expected lifetime of over 100 years, we are confident in the reuse possibilities of Steni panels. When these products are not to be used more than once far out in the future, there are more opportunities for reuse. They can be broken down into small fragments and used for filler in new fa\u00e7ade panels, roof and tunnel membranes, concrete reinforcement, soil improver, insulation or other building materials.<\/p>\n
