Urban Concrete is an innovative leader in Canada’s GFRC market. Urban Concrete is an innovative leader in Canada’s GFRC market. The premier manufacturer has always held a high standard, to make a panel that allows the ultimate creativity for architects, designers, and builders.
With 10 years of experience, Urban Concrete Panels and Urban Concrete Custom are handcrafted with attention to detail at the forefront of every cast. Giving you a solid product again and again.
Urban Concrete’s Lightweight Panel
Was inspired by the architectural desire to provide an alternative to “cast in place” methods. The aesthetic, surface characteristics, and weight savings are what make our GFRC panels ideal for a wide variety of applications.
The development of our GFRC panel has provided a leading alternative for concrete design elements that are non-structural.
The panels feature both interior/exterior applications for commercial and residential purposes — benefiting the client with low maintenance, customizability, and easy installation design forward panels.

● Installation of the panel can be butt joined, mitered, or open joint.
● Optional factory sealing.
● Post-build architectural feature
● No additional foundation supports
● Consistent finish
Classic
Classic panels are timeless. The polished surface showcases the depth and variation of color. Artisanal casting creates a fluid movement of integral dyes, creating a multidimensional clean sophisticated panel. Classic panels have minimal texture.
Mountaineer
The Mountaineer panel provides visual texture. With naturally occuring voids and pin holes common in cast in place concrete. Every panel is hand cast, distinctive and refined.
Cable
The Cable finish is an industrial panel with imitation cone ties. This effect provides another dimension that simulates typical cast in place concrete. Cable can be added to Urban Concrete’s Classic and Mountaineer styles.
Standard panels have 6 cone ties
Board Form
Board Form concrete panels are an art form. The fabrication process casts our specially formulated GFRC concrete on raw wood. The final finish accentuates wood grain, knots and other unique characteristics found only in traditional cast in place formwork.

Color and Variations
The Urban concrete panel is a high performance product line offering the unique variables and characteristics that concrete displays. The variances, are the distinguishing and desirable attributes of the product, defining its character, that sets it apart as a unique cladding product for both interior and exterior applications.
Urban Concrete takes great care and pride in the manufacturing of this unique panel. The panels are created, finished side down and once released from the mould could have variations in appearance. Mottling (light/dark areas), minor colour variances, bug/pin holes, minor visual strands of fiber and texture. This is one of the many benefits of the product as each and every panel is unique!
Over time the product is subject to naturally occurring variations which can be: colour changes due to weathering effects of ultraviolet rays or other elements that may cause any coloured surface to fade, chalk or become stained over time as a normal phenomenon. This patina effect of the concrete panel enhances its appeal as a unique architectural precast product.
