PermaForm
Building in articulation
and texture
Formliners are a cost-effective means of
building dimension and articulation into
the precast panel surface.A large range
of liners are available off the shelf and
custom liners can be made.The liner is
placed in the form before introducing
the concrete.The finish can be anything
from a deep relief to a subtle texture
such as timber grain.The resulting
surface can be left natural or a finish
can be applied.
PermaTint
Longlife colouring
systems
This factory-applied system is a long-
lasting alternative to the on-site painting
of precast panels. Unlike paint systems,
the PermaTint system penetrates the
substrate producing a deep, long-lasting
colour finish.The finish will not peel and is
highly resistant to UV, mould, mildew and
weather. It resists cracking and fading, is
non-hazardous and has low VOCs.That’s
why Austral Precast can confidently
guarantee a PermaTint finish for an
industry-leading 25 years!
