Facade Elements
Our central focus at TAKTL is to design, manufacture, and deliver the highest quality Ultra High Performance Concrete facade elements in the world. Our proprietary Architectural UHPC (A|UHPC) facade panels are uniquely suited for 100-year buildings because of their enduring beauty, design flexibility, strength, durability, and weather performance. TAKTL’s in-house team of experts helps our clients to optimize A|UHPC panels for project-specific design parameters, building efficiency into every aspect of manufacturing, delivery, and installation.
Field-Set Rainscreens
Lightweight and easy to handle in the field, with dozens of color and texture combinations, TAKTL panels are designed for lifetime performance across thousands of square feet of rainscreen assemblies. While the material is installed using familiar clips, rails, and anchors, the design potential and longevity of a TAKTL rainscreen is far from ordinary.
Prefabricated Assemblies
Whether the envelope design calls for a megapanel system, a custom unitized curtain wall, or a volumetric modular assembly, TAKTL facade elements are often chosen for their superior strength, resilience, and boundless opportunities for customization. Panels are cast in large sizes that make them a natural fit for most curtain wall units.
Interior Public Spaces
While TAKTL is designed for the highest level of durability in exterior applications, the ability of UHPC to pick up the finest micro-textures makes it just as visually exciting when viewed at close range.
Panel Details
TAKTL elements can be cast up to 60” X 144” (1,524mm x 3,657mm), with additional custom sizes available on a project-specific basis. Panels are cast and trimmed to large blank sizes, and then are cut in the TAKTL facility to a variety of smaller sizes based on project optimization, and in coordination with our installing contractors. The TAKTL technical team assists architects with panel layouts during early design phases to maximize material yield. Contact our team to review and optimize your proposed panel layout.

Corner Options
A variety of closed and open corner options are possible with TAKTL panels. TAKTL’s CNC bridge saws precisely create straight and mitered edges as the finished panels are cut to size. Factory-adhered corners have been fully tested, with the strength of the joint matching or exceeding that of reinforced cast corners. Please contact our Technical Support Team to discuss custom corner options.
Wall Assembly Examples
TAKTL panels are compatible with a wide range of facade applications and cladding support systems, from rainscreens to interior lobby elevations. We’ve developed sample architectural details , available on our website, with some of the most common applications illustrated below featuring typical concealed and visible fastening options.
Fasteners (Concealed + Visible)
TAKTL panels can be attached with several types of fasteners. Undercut anchors provide concealed support; they are compatible with textured surfaces and install with a fast, adhesive-free process. TAKTL panels can also be attached to substructure framing with screws or rivets. All panels are pre-drilled for ease of fastener installation.
