Fabcon manufactures a wide variety of profiles (rake, rib, imprint, flat, etc.) including both top-side extruded and form-side finishes, with or without formliners. Exposed aggregate finishes can be accomplished on the “top” face or form-side. Different levels of sandblasting can be done on the form-side. Local and specialty aggregates are available on standard width (8’) and special widths (up to 11 ft. 11-1/2 in. in MN, OH and KS; 13 ft. 5-1/2 in. in PA.
A unique and popular finish is to cast thin brick into the precast wall panels. Casting thin brick into precast concrete wall panels eliminates the masonry grout of traditional brick construction. This eliminates “tuck-pointing” maintenance for the life of the building and also eliminates the environmental impact and site disruption of brick construction. Cast-in thin brick is done with liners on the steel form-side of the panels. Cast-in brick is available in several materials, including traditional clay-fired brick and concrete from various suppliers. Custom finishes are available from Fabcon, including sandblasting and form-side exposed. Both finishes are available on the structural form-side of the wall panels.
