THE BENEFITS OF TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION > Architectural Versatility
Concrete is a flexible material that lends itself to a variety of creative design options.
Any Tilt-Up structure can be an attractive building in which you can take pride. The large Tilt-Up panels lend themselves to a variety of decorative treatments:
- An unlimited array of colorings that can be added to the concrete mix or textured paints of any color may be used for beautiful effects.
- Textures produced with improvised techniques and form-liner cast surfaces in a variety of patterns, including striated, fractured fin, stone, brick and woodgrains.
- Exposed aggregate and mechanical tooling surface treatments.
- Trompe l'oeil painting and simple forming on the casting surface can produce the effect of three-dimensional surfaces.
