This facade is very similar to the brick facade and can give a significant beauty to the structure. Epoxy resin, polyester and polyurethane are the most important materials used in the construction of this facade and are used in fibers such as glass fibers, polyester fibers and natural fibers. Cement, sand and stone powder are the most important minerals used in this facade. Basically, resins are responsible for adhesion, fibers are responsible for strengthening and increasing strength, and minerals are responsible for increasing the durability and longevity of Kenitex facade. Due to its waterproofness, Kenitex facade can be a very good option for all kinds of buildings.
