Agilia 360+ Architectural is a low-carbon, self-compacting concrete formulation from Lafarge's Agilia Architectural range, developed for exposed architectural concrete and complex structural applications. Its high fluidity allows it to fill intricate formwork and accommodate reinforced elements, including walls, columns, and beams. The concrete supports a variety of architectural forms, textures, and colours.

The lower-carbon formulation can reduce CO2 emissions compared with conventional concrete mixes, with the extent of the reduction dependent on the specific composition and reference mix. Its self-compacting properties also eliminate the need for mechanical vibration during placement, reducing construction noise, facilitating installation, and limiting subsequent surface corrections.
