Concrete cladding: precast panels, board-formed and polished

The families

Precast panels — smooth plates with a visible joint grid. Board-formed — the timber imprint left by formwork, board lines included. Fair-faced — controlled, uniform grey with subtle mottling. Bush-hammered and exposed aggregate — rougher surfaces that show their stones. Polished concrete — dense and reflective, marble-like. Microcement — a thin, seamless decorative layer for walls and floors.

Joints are the design

A concrete façade reads through its joints: the panel grid, the formwork lines, the pour marks. Textures carry the surface — draw the joints at the real module (panels commonly run 1.2 to 3 m wide) so the elevation keeps its rhythm. See the sizes reference for typical formats.

Greys drift — check them in context

Concrete greys read warm or cool depending on the light and the neighbouring materials; a texture that looks neutral in isolation can look blue next to timber, or brown next to steel. Every page shows the measured repetition size so the surface pattern stays at true scale while you tune the tone.
