Liners
Adding a decorative face to your concrete blocks adds value without adding cost. Meaning you can charge more for your blocks using the same amount of concrete. It’s no wonder that this is one of the fastest growing segments of the concrete industry. World Block offers a wide array of urethane liners to simply and efficiently create decorative stone patterns on the face of your finished blocks. Our liners come in two different depths, 1” and 2”. The thicker liner will give you a deeper, more aggressive texture.
World Block Forms are poured face down. To use a liner you simply place the liner at the bottom of the form and fill it up with concrete. After stripping the form, tip the block upright and the liner will peel right off. Your block will then have your chosen pattern on its face.
World Block Liners are made of a very durable, 60 durometer urethane. With proper care you can expect to get hundreds of uses from your form liner. Don’t leave them out to dry and crack in the elements. And be sure to use the proper release agent with them.
While there are many release agents to choose from, we have developed the World Block Plus formula to work specifically with our liners. If you decide to use an agent other than World Block Plus be sure to test it to insure it doesn’t shrink, expand or otherwise eat away at your liners.
Coloring your blocks can be done in three different ways. Either with an admixture colorant, a colored power release agent, or a concrete stain. Most people are using stains to color their block walls. A typical application is to spray on a base coat over the entire wall. This covers any variations of color from block to block. Then two or three more colors can be sponged, or ragged onto the individual “stones” to create a more natural look.
Form liners are very easy to use and increase value without adding material costs. You make more money without pouring more concrete. That’s getting something for nothing! |
