Living Concrete Timber Planked Concrete Wall Boards
TIMBER PLANKED CONCRETE WALL BOARDS
TIMBER PLANKED CONCRETE WALL BOARDS
The GRC Timber Planked Concrete Wall Boards are made to look like cast-in-situ timber shuttered concrete. The result is a product which is perfect for wall installation both outdoor and indoor.
Our concrete is manufactured using our bespoke process which allows us to make exceptionally thin panels which have a lot of strength, fantastic UV stability and a superior mechanical resistance. These types of panels can therefore be made in different colours to get the results needed.
The composition of the panels is made from cement along with a special type of sand, carefully chosen additives and stable UV pigments. The result is what you see – a concrete surface which is tough and suitable for many applications. We pre-seal all our panels and offer you a complete installation service for all the products we sell.
Concrete walls are a good choice for any private or commercial space, as they can be tailored to suit your designs and have a longer lifespan than wood or slate. Speak to us today about your specific needs.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION GUIDE – WALLS
-Base solid flat surface -There can be no rising or negative humidity -Verify that the base wall is levelled (+/-2 mm in 3 meters) -Allow for the perimeter joints and joints against objects from the base
STORAGE
- Panels should be kept in a horizontal way
- Keep in a dry, clean space in the original packaging
- Do not leave the panels in a vertical or inclined position or leaning against any surface
CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING LC BTX PANELS
- Keep packaged until installation
- Do not force the panels over uneven surfaces
- Always store horizontally
- Do not place loads on the panels
- Level the sub-wall correctly before starting the installation (+/- 2 mm in 3 m)
- BTX panels are not rectified, they can have variations of 0.6%.
(1) DIRECT WALL INSTALLATION WITH ADHESIVE
-Tools And Materials Needed : Spirit Level, Primer, sealer and Polyurethane / Epoxy adhesive, Screws and anchors, Tape measure, Cradle Caulking Gun, Ladder /Scaffold tower/ Access platform, Tile Spacers, Angle grinder, Sandpaper, Paint Tray, Microfibre roller
-Step By Step Manual Installation : The wall should be levelled (+/-2 mm in 3 meters), Sand the wall to remove any loose elements, Apply primer if needed, The base has to be firm. Verify with a sharp tool, Define the way of installation according to the aesthetic wanted, Begin the installation of the panels from the bottom up
-Apply adhesive as per manufacturer’s recommendations -Install panels applying pressure until initial grab -If necessary use T screws on the panels joint to fix them. Once the adhesive is dry remove the screws -Panels joints can be butted, left with shadow gaps or filled with flexible tile grout -Seal the panels with Water Based Sealer, POLIFAN PU K14 or acrylic WAX
(2) DIRECT WALL INSTALLATION USING INVISIBLE FIXINGS
Tools and materials needed : -Bracket system -Spirit Level -Sealer -Screws and anchors -Tape measure -Cradle Caulking -Ladder/Scaffold tower/ Access platform -Angle grinder -Sandpaper -Paint Tray -Microfibre roller -Safety equipment
STEP BY STEP MANUAL INSTALLATION
-The wall should be levelled (+/-2 mm in 2 meters) -Sand the wall to remove any loose elements -The base has to be firm. Verify with a sharp tool -Define the way of installation according to the aesthetic wanted -Install bracket system -Begin the installation of the panels from the bottom up depending on design
