Lustrous
Concrete Blocks
This photograph
is of the test production of the world's first lustrous
concrete blocks. The three patterns of 16" x 8" blocks are
Diamond,
Double Curve, and Fan. They are seen both painted and
natural.
These are standard 8 x 16 blocks, but a wide variety is
possible. One exciting application is 8 x 8 blocks with
differing surfaces which will make possible designs done in
the same manner as the Diamond Lozenge
panel. The
first application is at Spring Lake Park
School, Spring
Lake Park, Minnesota.
Spring Lake
Park School reconstruction
This panel is the first of four panels, 72" x 160" to be
set into the south wall of the school, as it faces the
football field. The design is an assymetric layout of
lustrous concrete blocks, with an interior panel which
stands just proud of the surrounding field.
This is the first panel completed, shot from the left, then
the right, at around 10:30 AM. A photo taken at around 1:30
would see the light patterns reversed.
The 8" x 8" blocks made for this panel were produced using
molds custom made for this purpose by Ness Tech Concrete
Molds, Inc. See other examples on the
Lustrous Concrete
Block
page.
Molds for these are made by NessTech who make
custom molds for concrete blocks and pavers using their
patented N-E-Face technology. This makes it possible to
do custom blocks per the client's needs.
Imagine seeing a lustrous, shining wall from a distance and
when you get close it's actually 8,000 iterations of the
corporate logo.
We'd be happy to help make your project
unique...
