A few years ago, peo­ple were fas­ci­nat­ed nat­ur­al con­crete design for inte­ri­or and exte­ri­or, it was a big trend. That trend seems to be con­tin­ued, peo­ple indent­ed to dec­o­rate their house more nat­u­ral­ly, but they need more unique design. Pre­cast archi­tec­tur­al con­crete can fill their desires. Archi­tec­tur­al Pre­cast Con­crete is one of the most durable, fire resis­tant, and sus­tain­able con­struc­tion mate­r­i­al for buildings.

Cur­ing con­crete at Petra Design’s production

Pre­cast con­crete. It’s very sen­si­tive and eas­i­ly ruined before cur­ing. After cur­ing, con­crete will be more stronger and bet­ter. Right-tim­ing/prop­er tem­per­a­ture is the key point.

What is the precast?

Pre­cast con­crete is cast under fac­to­ry con­trolled con­di­tions and not erect­ed on site until it is ful­ly hard­ened. Just like in-situ con­crete, pre­cast con­crete can be plain, rein­forced or pre­stressed con­crete. So, peo­ple can choose pre­cast con­crete what­ev­er they want­ed to use for it. Pre­cast stone is dis­tin­guished from pre­cast con­crete by using a fine aggre­gate in the mix­ture, so the final prod­uct approach­es the appear­ance of nat­u­ral­ly occur­ring rock or stone. Once a pre­cast con­crete prod­uct is pro­duced and all the under­tak­en qual­i­ty con­trols sat­is­fac­to­ry, the unit is stored until deliv­ery. It is then trans­port­ed for use at anoth­er site.

Using the archi­tec­tur­al pre­cast con­crete, peo­ple can make an archi­tec­tur­al exte­ri­or design building.

[Batay-Csor­ba Archi­tects has unveiled its designs for a new six-storey, 32,000 square foot bou­tique office build­ing sit­u­at­ed on a small vacant site in Toron­to’s Lib­er­ty Vil­lage. Seek­ing to build upon the rich lin­eage of Toron­to’s pre­cast con­crete his­to­ry, the pro­pos­al pro­vides an alter­na­tive to the per­va­sive glass cur­tain wall project. The build­ing is com­prised of four floors of flex­i­ble office space, retail at grade, and a rooftop sculp­ture garden/event space.]

What’s the advantage of architectural precast concrete?

The intrin­sic qual­i­ty of an indus­tri­al prod­uct, man­u­fac­tured in a con­trolled envi­ron­ment and with accu­rate meth­ods; advanced qual­i­ty con­trol, which goes far beyond the check­ing of the fresh con­crete, can be intro­duced. Dimen­sion­al accu­ra­cy, prop­er­ties of the hard­ened con­crete and posi­tion of rein­force­ment can all be checked before inclu­sion of an ele­ment in the final work
