Enter Concreet™, a groundbreaking product that seamlessly simulates the appearance of poured-in-place or trowelled concrete, yet is lightweight, versatile, and easy to install, revolutionizing contemporary concrete finishes.
Concreet™ is a state-of-the-art, pre-finished alpha gypsum cement-based material. Unlike traditional concrete, Concreet™ is designed for ease of use, allowing for the creation of panels and elements that can be effortlessly integrated into interiors. Whether it’s feature walls, beams, ceiling elements, or column cladding, Concreet™ offers a modern concrete finish that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Key Features of Concreet™
1. Safety First: Concreet™ boasts a Class A (or 1) flame-spread rating, ensuring that safety is never compromised.
2. Proprietary GFRG-based Material: Concreet™ is not just another concrete alternative. It’s a proprietary GFRG (Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum) solution, perfect for introducing concrete finishes into existing spaces or enhancing areas with exposed concrete walls and columns.
3. Deep Color Integration: The integral color pigments in Concreet™ ensure that the material’s color permeates below the surface. This is further enriched by the inclusion of natural aggregates in a matrix of alpha gypsum cement and glass fiber reinforcement, providing strength, flexibility, and a superior aesthetic appeal.
4. Lightweight and Versatile: Weighing between 2-5 lb/ft2, Concreet™ components are significantly lighter than traditional concrete. This lightweight nature does not compromise on strength, as Concreet™ parts can incorporate steel or wood embedments for added resilience.
5. Efficient Installation: Say goodbye to the prolonged, wet, and cumbersome process of applying faux concrete finishes. Concreet™ components are pre-finished and can be installed swiftly, akin to finished carpentry.
6. Customization: Concreet™ is available in a plethora of natural color tones and finishes. Designers have the liberty to specify custom finishes, ensuring a perfect match with existing concrete surfaces.
7. Precision Manufacturing: Every Concreet™ component is custom-made to meet specific project requirements. Leveraging advanced 5-axis CNC technology, expert pattern making, and in-house sculpting, Formglas® ensures authentic and precision master models. For intricate design elements, Formglas® collaborates with professionals to develop a practical plan through 3D modeling and mock-ups.

This is a great introduction! The innovative use of pre-finished alpha gypsum cement creates a lightweight and versatile alternative to traditional poured concrete. The seamless application and ability to create panels for various design elements are particularly interesting.
Following the point about Concreet™ mimicking the look of troweled concrete, I’m curious to know – how does Concreet™ compare to polished concrete in terms of maintenance and durability? For high-traffic areas, would Concreet™ offer a similar level of resilience as polished concrete?
