Splitface
THE RUGGED APPEARANCE OF NATURAL HEWN STONE
Splitface masonry is available in a choice of no less than 18 colour variations, including the prestigious Hallmark Diamond which incorporates fine, random, light aggregates which catch the light to create a natural sparkle.
It will add a prestigious appearance to any building large or small, whether creating complete, imposing structures or in combination with other Forticrete products, in feature panels and bands.
The product is also available in the RIBLOC version, with its eight ribbed appeal, creating clean lines and a geometric uniformity which will give an imposing appearance to any building.
For all sales enquiries please contact our Thornley office.
