Graphic Concrete allows you to impart nearly any pattern, image or design onto precast wall surfaces. It opens up an unlimited range of design possibilities with the renowned resilience of precast concrete. The versatile technology transfers custom or stock graphics as a surface retarder via a membrane placed at the bottom of the precast form. After the concrete is cured and extracted from the form, the retarder is washed away, revealing an image that results from the contrast between the fair-faced (smooth) surface and the exposed aggregate surface. It is as durable and maintenance-free as concrete itself. You can select various aggregates and pigments to dramatically expand possibilities in the finished surface. Precast concrete has a new look. And it's more beautiful than ever. Available exclusively in North America from AltusGroup precasters. Any pattern. Any image. It's the new face of precast. Any design.
