FAQS

A limitless array of finishes inspire many prestigious architects, designers and high-end luxury brands to chose concrete for their creative concepts. Stunning feature wall panels, floor panels, external facades, servery counters, reception and cash desks, strair treads, logo and signage panels or 3-dimensional furniture; a wide variety of worldwide aggregates, pigmented recycled glass, granites, marbles, mother of pearl or stone create unique tones and terrazzo-style finishes. Every project is completely unique.

Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is concrete that is reinforced with glass fibres. These fibres, unlike steel reinforcement in traditional concrete, are dispersed throughout the concrete. This improves the mechanical strength of concrete making pieces less likely to crack. GRC can be made at thicknesses not possible with traditional wet-cast concrete. Because GRC can be made thinner this allows larger pieces with fewer joints to be cast off site and installed in a similar fashion to stone bench tops.

UHPC (ultra-high Performance Concrete), also known as reacive powder Concrete, is an innovatve cementbased engineering material in the past 30 yearsrealizing a great leap in the Performance of engineering materials. At present, UHPc is widely used, such as, building facade decoration, long span footbridge, highway and ralway Bidges, garden landscape, art fumiture, municipaengineering and so on. More and more applications are expected.

Like other natural materials, such as stone, concrete is a porous material, which can be susceptible to staining unless it has been sealed. Please speak to one of the Frame team to confirm the correct procedure to compliment the relevant sealer.

We have a RAL colour match service and our sampling is free of charge, subject to requirement.

There is virtually no limit to shape which can be created in a variety of profiled/textural or smooth finishes. The only restriction is your imagination. How 'Green' is concrete? Aggregates are the major component of concrete by volume and are inherently a low carbon product. Recycled aggregates can be used; and we have even experimented with recycled plastic as well as Stainless Steel milling swarf.
