Extending the Function of Concrete as a Cladding Material

“Tilt-up" is a state-of-the-art building system in which steel reinforced concrete panels are cast on site and tilted up into their final position. The tilt-up panels are load bearing and also function as cladding elements. With the exceptions of integrally colored concrete, tilt-up concrete panels can look bare and unattractive if a finish is not applied. It is also well known that concrete is not a “perfect” material as it shows porosity and micro-cracks which can lead to deterioration over time.

It is also well known that concrete is not a “perfect” material as it shows porosity and micro-cracks which can lead to deterioration over time. High-build coatings are an ideal solution for tilt-up concrete panels because they can provide decoration, coming in a variety of colors and textures, as well as offer the necessary protection from deterioration induced by the environment.
