  1. The Art of Concrete White Cement: Perspectives on Architectural Distinction

  2. Architecturally Brilliant • The Beauty of White Cement Concrete

  3. Imaginative in Design • Broad spectrum of color options • Infinite textures, shapes, and patterns • Versatile range of architectural applications

  4. Consistent in Color • Clean bright whites, light pastels, and earth tones • Controlled manufacturing process for reliable consistency • Color matching to existing structures, previously placed concrete, and natural settings

  5. Innovative in Appearance • Decorative, cost-effective alternative to stone, steel, and glass • Plasticity for fine surface detailing and versatile finishes • Long-term beauty, durability, and economy

  6. Distinctive by DesignCase Study-Precast Keeping Pace with Style and Substance Nike World Campus North Expansion Washington Co., Oregon • Objective • Helps complete Nike’s existing World Campus Headquarters at one centralized location. • Project • Six office buildings and one parking structure used 1,712 precast architectural wall cladding panels and column covers.

  10. Limitless Design Possibilities • The Versatility of White Cement Concrete

  11. Flexible Shapes, Textures and Colors • Varied pigments and colored aggregates for unique compositions • Expansive flexibility for unlimited textural effects • Customized designs, patterns, emblems and ornaments

  12. Timeless Integrity • Strength to withstand wind, earthquakes, fire, and termites • High-density resistance to moisture and rot • Long-term appearance, low-maintenance performance

  13. Superior Structural Capacity • Multi-story window casements • Arches and vaulted canopies • Towering columns • Copings, crowns, and returns

  14. Distinctive by DesignCase Study– Cast-in-Place Unshakable Performance Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels and Bell Tower Los Angeles, California • Objective • Build the first structurally base-isolated cathedral in the world to withstand Southern California’s earthquake activity. • Project • Structure with seating capacity for 3,000 people, engineered with a design life of at least 300 years, capable of uninterrupted service after an earthquake of magnitude 8.3 on the Richter scale.

  17. Blending Style with Utility • The Value of White Cement Concrete

  18. Energy Efficient • Lower energy requirements per ton than other major building materials • Reduced temperature fluctuations, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs • Improved lighting efficiency for overall safety and streamlined operational costs

  19. Competitively Solid • The look of natural stone – the cost-efficiency of concrete • Less lead time – shorter construction schedule • Advanced processes and construction methods – greater quality control

  20. Cost Effective • Low life-cycle cost when compared to other materials • Less maintenance, reducing overall labor and material expenses • Architecturally practical for long-term performance and economy
