SWISSPEARL CARAT – ICONIC IN ALL ITS FACETS
THE“ SWISSPEARL CARAT” COLOUR LINE IS THE TIMELESSLY BEAUTIFUL AND INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED CLASSIC IN FIBRE CEMENT FAÇADE PANELS
Each board is finished with a lightly pigmented, translucent surface coating, which now looks even more elegant and refined thanks to a new coating process. The fibre structure of the material remains visible when viewed from close up. With its 20 carefully curated colours, the“ Carat” colour line also supports high-contrast and expressive designs. Swisspearl was the first manufacturer to launch a through-dyed fibre cement board, which many renowned architects have since used to bring their designs to life.
Being through coloured, the fibre cement panels are ideal for a monolithic facade design. Cutting edges show one of nine base plate colours, which harmonises particularly well with the selected coating. As a result, they hardly catch the eye even with wider joints. Colour-matched rivet and screw heads additionally support the homogeneous effect of a facade cladding with“ Carat” panels.
Geometric shapes, self-designed patterns, company logos or image motifs can be applied to individual panels or across multiple panels. With an additional high-resistance( HR) coating,“ Carat” colour line panels achieve particularly high scratch and weather resistance. They are also protected against permanent damage from heavy contamination and even graffiti.

Living individuality Based on decades of experience in the field of colour theory and coating technology, Swisspearl offers the necessary know-how for the production of“ Carat” facade panels in NCS, RAL and Pantone tones. Special colours are also possible on a project-specific basis. In addition, individual processing of the panels is carried out in the manufacturer’ s plants.
Facade cladding for unconventional building shapes can be achieved with special cuts or free shapes. Perforations create an exciting surface look and allow natural light or fresh air to pass through.
