Overview

Board-mark formliners, in plain terms.

Board-mark liner samples beside concrete texture test panels
Board widths, joints and grain checked on test panels

Board-mark is one of the most specified architectural textures. A liner gives the look consistently, pour after pour.

We control board width, stagger, joint and grain.

What sets it apart

Four things that define this route.

01

Board width

As specified.

02

Stagger

Random or regular.

03

Joint depth

Crisp and consistent.

04

Grain intensity

From subtle to pronounced.

How we build it

From pattern to released tool.

Patterns from real boards or machined, depending on the look.

Polyurethane is usually the right material.

The honest bit

What to know before you commit.

Board-mark on a liner is more consistent than timber shuttering. If you want variation, say so.

The liner is fixed to the formwork face. When the concrete is struck, the texture stays on the panel and the liner is ready to reuse.
