Board-Formed Concrete

Our board-formed concrete maintains a minimalistic feel, while lending a touch of warmth and character as well. Individual board-formed panels can be either stacked or staggered to create a unique visual effect and either horizontal or vertical for a highly authentic look. With a range of natural concrete colours from light to dark grey, the look is highly compatible with eco-design and minimalist trends in modern fireplace surrounds.

Modern concrete design with wood grain texture

With roots in the early modern design era, board-formed concrete became the standard in large construction projects: unfinished, roughly textured wood was used in the concrete casting process and left behind a recognizable wood grain texture that designers have come to love and appreciate in concrete design. The method is now very popular in modern concrete design, and while pour-in-place methods are still used a lot, we have succeeded in creating this same board-formed look using thin concrete panels. Due to their lightweight nature and the fact that they are formed and cast off-site in our shop, our board-formed concrete panels are much easier and quicker to install, which generally saves you time and money. For our board-formed projects, we strive to maintain the traditional look of poured-in-place concrete by producing 6 or 8 inch wide boards in lengths up to 96 inches with bleed lines and wood knots.
