Faux Concrete is an infill option for the PalmSHIELD Elite Faux Collection that gives a screen panel the look of concrete or concrete block, using weatherproof polymer urethane panels in 6 styles, from smooth poured concrete to split-face block, all backed by a 25-year limited warranty.
Concrete block is the traditional material for dumpster enclosures, and concrete finishes are common on commercial, industrial, and municipal buildings. Faux Concrete delivers that look without footings, block, or mortar. Split Face and Cinder Block recreate CMU block walls, Smooth and Rough recreate cast concrete, and Asphalt and Beach Sand add darker and warmer textures. Each style is cast in polymer urethane with 3D texture and is weatherproof with near-zero UV degradation. The faux concrete is mounted to a 1/4" aluminum backing sheet in PalmSHIELD's patent-pending aluminum picture frame, for full visual screening that installs on aluminum posts.
