Architectural Precast Concrete Panels

Precast concrete signs can accommodate not only letters and numbers, but more complex designs such as corporate logos, artwork and murals. Designs can be both recessed and raised.

Signage can also be incorporated into the structural precast elements of a build including walls and columns.

Advantages include:

• Durable
• Fire resistant
• Can incorporate power and/or water
• A range of finishes available

Applications include:

• Council and park signs
• Murals and monuments
• Estate gate signs
• Corporate/building name
• Amenities/services identification
• Residential street address

Using rubber formliners, precast panels for any application can be inlayed with decorative patterns, shapes or textures, even pictures and murals.

The process for creating decorative precast concrete panels involves large rubber formliners, where the pattern is negatively imprinted thus creating the mould. Laid at the bottom of the precast bed and sprayed with a release agent, once the concrete cures the form mould peels away cleanly leaving a perfect imprint of the desired effect.

Although only limited by your imagination, some styles include:

• Geometric patterns
• Brick and masonry
• Rough textures
• Timber look
• Rock and stone
• Ribs and waves
• Antislip

Polishing concrete insitu in a vertical wall application can prove extremely difficult or impossible, this is where precast can really shine.
