Architectural Concrete
Architectural concrete is designed to be more aesthetically pleasing compared with a basic concrete finish.
Architechtural concrete is sometimes referred to as visual concrete, fair faced finish or special finish concrete. It’s designed to be more aesthetically pleasing compared with a basic concrete finish. Architechtural concrete demands meticulous selection of materials and includes an increased cement content to achieve a rich concrete matrix. The end result is an improved and consistent surface finish in both texture and colour. In achieving an architechtural concrete finish the selection of the formwork type, release agent, skill in placing, compacting, curing and protecting the concrete are crucial to achieving a high quality finish.
