Colors
The FormEffects collection is offered in 5 standard colors, as show on each product page, to make the product accessible and cost effective for a variety of projects. Custom colors are available through Concreteworks East, the boutique architectural precast GFRC fabricator behind FormEffects, and can be reached at info@concreteworkseast.com.
Color Variation
Concrete is a natural material and is subject to small amounts of color variation from component to component. Changes in raw material can also occur over time so new control samples should be requested prior to the start of any new project.
Panel Sizes
The FormEffects collection is offered in standardized sizes, as show on each product page, to make the product accessible and cost effective for a variety of projects. Custom sizing is available through Concreteworks East, the boutique architectural precast GFRC fabricator behind FormEffects, and can be reached at info@concreteworkseast.com.
Seaming
All precast components are recommended to be seamed with ⅛” wide joints. Our products are handcrafted, therefore a variance in joint width should be expected. Joints can be filled with a siliconized caulk, such as Laticrete Latasil or TEC Accucolor, which are available in a wide variety of colors.
