Concrete Feature Walls

What Makes a Feature Wall?

A feature wall is a surface designed to be a focal point rather than background. In exterior architecture, feature walls appear at building entries, as accent bays on a facade, on courtyard and perimeter walls, and as landscape elements. Interior feature walls — in hotel lobbies, commercial offices, and restaurants — use the same GFRC panels with interior-appropriate finishes.

Texture & Pattern Options

The surface texture is what gives a concrete feature wall its character. GFRC panels can be produced in virtually any texture.

• —Board-formed — vertical or horizontal boards cast into the panel face; industrial/modern
• —Ashlar Stone — coursed stone pattern cast from formliner; traditional or rustic
• —Ribbed / Fluted — vertical or horizontal ribs creating shadow and depth
• —Smooth — clean flat surface; minimal and contemporary
• —Sandblast — exposed aggregate texture; earthy and natural
• —Custom — any pattern your designer specifies; we build the mold

Scale & Panel Joints

Large feature walls are typically divided into individual panels for production and installation. Panel joints can be expressed as a design feature — a shadow reveal — or minimized with tight tolerances and matched finish. Our shop drawings show panel layout, joint width, and erection sequence to make installation straightforward for your crew.

Lions Precast Approach

Feature walls often require careful color matching across a run of many panels. We control aggregate, cement, and pigment ratios to hold color consistency batch to batch. Before production, we cast and deliver a sample panel for your architect's or owner's approval.
