Form Liner Image

A series of variable-depth grooves creates subtle shading, which is further enhanced by the lighting and viewing angle.

Photocast ™ Images Create Unique Concrete AppearanceThe Photocast process transfers a high resolution photographic image onto a cast-in-place concrete surface via form liner. Symons can produce single or multi-use form liner from almost any high-resolution photograph, creating a simple image transfer

or complex, tiled form liners spanning wide areas.

Individual images can even be combined and manipulated into an artistic composition. Tiling, cropping, blending, resizing and other adjustments can be made to an image until the desired effect is accomplished. Once the image is approved, the form liner segments are produced in sequence and shipped to the job site.

Since many contractors are already familiar with form liner, installing the Photocast patterns happens without delay.

Form liners from Symons create textured concrete, saving time, labor and material by providing structural and architectural functions in a single medium. This accelerates the construction process and minimizes costs.

Symons has hundreds of standard patterns available, but when a project calls for something unique, we can provide custom form liners based on your design or digital image.
