The ultra-lightweight clear-PEP® ECO large-format panels set new standards in façade and outdoor applications. They are UV-resistant, weatherproof and impact-resistant, and are available in a wide range of colors, surface finishes and thicknesses. With impressive formats of up to 4.5 × 2 meters, they offer architects and planners exceptional design freedom.
Whether used as façade elements, canopies or sun-shading systems, the panels combine functionality with visual lightness. Depending on the configuration, the degree of shading can be individually adjusted, enabling energy-efficient and climate-conscious solutions.
Thanks to their distinctive appearance—light-transmitting, translucent or color-accented—the panels create unique effects on building envelopes. In this way, they unite design, sustainability and innovation in a solution that visibly shapes architecture.
Backlighting is the most effective method. Satin-finished surfaces diffuse the light evenly, while high-gloss finishes emphasize the crystalline character. Side lighting is less effective.
Yes, for example with clear-PEP ECO PC stage in a thickness of 40 mm. Walkability depends on the structural design and applied loads; a structural calculation can be provided if required.
For PMMA/acrylic, the facing sheets consist of 100% recycledR-MMA, while the polycarbonate (PC) facing sheets contain 83% bio-circular material.
clear-PEP ECO PC clear and AIR-board ECO PC clear comply with fire classification B-s1,d0 and B-s2,d0 respectively, in accordance with EN 13501.
Yes. For outdoor applications, clear-PEP with polycarbonate face sheets is suitable.
Partially. One-dimensional forming is only possible with clear-PEP panels featuring PMMA / acrylic facing sheets or acoustic panels.
Yes. Thanks to their innovative core geometry, they provide effective shading performance.
Standard sizes: 3,000 × 1,000 mm (colored) and 3,000 × 1,220 mm (clear).
Maximum size: Up to 4,500 × 2,000 × 40 mm available on request.
Standard thickness: 19 mm.
For flooring applications: 40 mm. Please refer to the relevant data sheet.
Depending on the application, up to six different edge solutions are available. Please contact us directly for further details.
Depending on the project, panels can be installed using profiles, point fixings or adhesive bonding methods. It is important to take the thermal expansion of the panels into account.
The location of our company inspires the entire team every day to actively contribute to reducing environmental pollution. Surrounded by unspoiled mountains and meadows, design composite relied on state-of-the-art ecological construction methods when building its new production facility in the Salzburg region of Pinzgau.
The measures implemented have resulted in a positive energy balance and enabled the sustainable reduction of a calculated CO₂ emission equivalent of 140 tons per year.
For us, sustainability is more than a goal – it is an integral part of our corporate strategy.
Through innovative technologies, a responsible supply chain, and a clear ESG focus, we develop sustainable solutions that meet the requirements of tomorrow.
