Material spec
What the mould is made of, what it's suited to and what it isn't for.
TCI Construction · Quality
Quality you can hand straight to a specifier.
Every tool leaves with a documented material spec, a handling note and a record on our file. No invented tolerances, no guaranteed pour counts — just paperwork that holds up.
Our approach
Quality is repeatability, written down.
For concrete tooling, quality means the two-hundredth panel looks like the first and the replacement tool matches the original. That comes from controlled patterns, consistent materials and good records — not from a number printed on a datasheet.
We don't put invented tolerances on hand-poured elastomer. We work to tight tolerances where the geometry demands it, and we tell you plainly where it doesn't.
What you get
Five documents and checks with every tool.
Handling note
Cleaning, storage and release regime for your yard.
Pattern check
The mould checked against the approved pattern before dispatch.
First-panel approval
Sign-off on your bed before the tool is called released.
File record
Drawing, pattern and spec archived for replacements.
Honest ranges
How we talk about tool life.
We give pour-count ranges, not guarantees. The range depends on mix, release, handling and storage, and we explain what extends and shortens it.
If a tool fails early, we investigate with you. Usually the answer is a release or handling change we can help with; if it's our fault, we put it right.

FAQs
Quality questions.
Can we have the material spec for our O&M file?
Yes, it's written to go straight into one.
Do you quote tolerances?
We'll discuss what's achievable for your geometry rather than print a single number.
What warranty applies?
Our terms set out the warranty on manufacturing defects.
Get in touch
Send us a photograph of the panel or the elevation.
One photograph tells us what surface you're chasing, and one line about the mix tells us what silicone or polyurethane will survive it.
