WHAT IS GRAPHIC CONCRETE?
Graphic Concrete is a membrane used in the prefabrication process of concrete. The desired image is printed on the membrane with a surface retarder, after which the membrane is sent to the local concrete prefabrication company. Concrete is cast on the membrane and the image is revealed when the retarder is washed away. The image results from the contrast between the fair face and the exposed aggregate surface. Graphic Concrete can be used on a small concrete art piece and in large construction.
GRAPHIC CONCRETE COLLECTIONS
The collections offer four different ways to use graphic concrete. GCCollection comprises almost 100 ready-made repeating patterns that can be customised and scaled according to the designer’s wishes to create a distinctive look. Designers can also create their own repeating pattern, which is called GCPro. To create large designs using photographs or other non-repeating patterns, GCArt&Design is offered. Finally, GCSmooth offers a velvety smooth and even concrete surface without a pattern.
GRAPHIC CONCRETE IN PMQ HONG KONG
Graphic Concrete has collaborated with PMQ Hong Kong and participated in deTour 2017, which was sponsored by Ecomax Hong Kong. Nine local artists have designed their own graphics that were realised onto a concrete cube—Kongcrete—which are now exhibited in the landscape area of PMQ.
