Artform

FINE DETAILING COMPONENTS WITH A NATURALLY WEATHERED APPEARANCE

artform.jpg

The structural strength of precast concrete is combined with the fine definition of stone detailing in Artform, a wet-cast material which can be moulded to virtually any shape. Artform creates detailing which has an immediately established, naturally weathered appeal, either as a stand-alone product in its own right or as a wet-cast equivalent to the Cast Stone Dressings range.

Artform is a structural material with load-bearing capabilities yet it can be moulded to low tolerances, ensuring accurately dimensioned components with sharp arrises, even on complex shapes. It is a material with low surface absorption offering improved weathering characteristics for detailing and with high impact resistance.

Artform components are available as standard in six 'natural' colour variations to complement the Forticrete Cast Stone Dressings range:

  • Portland
  • Bath
  • Buff
  • Holyrood
  • Glamis Red
  • Sherwood

Non-standard colours can be created for projects, dependent on volumes.

Compressive Strength:
Forticrete Precast components have a minimum strength of 25N/mm˛ which is achievable for unsymmetrical units. The strength may increase for units that are cast in a rectangle or square shape with no deviation.

Reinforcement & Fixing:
The only reinforcement that is incorporated into Forticrete Precast Products is for handling within the factory manufacturing environment. Design for structural reinforcement and specialist fixings should be detailed by the structural engineer carrying out the design for the specific project. The lead times for Precast products will be reduced considerably if the above information is supplied with the order.
