Living Concrete Fair-Faced Concrete Wall Panels
FAIR-FACED CONCRETE WALL PANELS
FAIR-FACED CONCRETE WALL PANELS
Living Concrete offers GRC Fair-faced wall panels which are built to look like cast-in-situ concrete walls.
You can easily put them into existing brick, stud and block walls to give a construction project a new lease of life or simply have them as a decorative feature for your wall panels, external cladding or a rain screen.
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 Fair-faced panels we create will be suitable for any commercial or domestic project, making them a great choice for indoor and outdoor use. They’re also available in a range of different thicknesses and sizes. Furthermore, we offer a bespoke installation service, and all panels come pre-sealed for ease of use.
