The structural nature of the material means it is ideal for this purpose and, as an alternative, can be faced with almost any type of brick, natural stone or terracotta tiles. It is also capable of producing finely textural finishes cast off rubber mats. -

Architectural
Precast is a refinement of a much used and trusted material within the construction industry that can achieve a uniquely adaptable end product enabling architects to create components in a way that no other material allows them to do.
Precast through its mould ability, strength and quality of finish can produce an exclusive dimension to the architectural language of concrete. -
StructuralStructural
Precast concrete is of a very high specification and provides a very dense and robust product possessing considerable structural properties.
By using precast components within a structure, either as load bearing walls or individual members such as beams and columns, significant advantage can be derived from the ability to provide a high quality finish that needs no additional treatment for aesthetics and has inherent fire integrity.
