Rocform is a synthetic lightweight concrete product that can be used to create a variety of landscaping elements such as water features, rocks and garden sculptures.

 

Rocmix comes pre-mixed and is supplied in a range of bag sizes.

 

A typical process for creating a Rocform structure would be:

 

For a fixed structure (like a water feature) a concrete base may be required. For free-standing items like rocks and sculpture this is not necessary.

 

The actual structure will also need a foundation - something for the Rocmix to adhere to. This will form the base shape that will be plastered and finished to create the rock-like effect. It may be done with a bulky, light and easily contoured product like polystyrene. Another effective base is fine wire mesh (like chicken wire) which can be easily shaped and forms a good base for plastering onto.

 

2. Applying the Rocmix

The plaster-like compound is applied to the foundation and built up to the depth required. It can be moulded and shaped to create the finish you want.

 

A final layer of Rocmix includes pigmentation to create colour and effect.

4. Finishing and Sealing 

Your Rocform piece can be sealed to protect the colour and to improve durability.
