CDI: Consider the Options
Concrete Designs Inc. creates products for ornamental and decorative purposes; they are not intended for use as structural components. There the restrictions end. CDI makes all of its products in-house, including designs, patterns, molds, and the castings themselves. With thousands of existing patterns and more designs added continually, CDI’s product line offers possibilities that are practically unlimited. And the variety extends beyond shapes to include choices in media, texture and color.

CDI produces its ornamental architectural products in concrete and glass fiber reinforced concrete. Our GFRC is only 3/8”-1/2” thick, resulting in a product that is lighter than concrete by as much as 75 percent. Ideal for applications where weight is a factor, GFRC offers the same sharp detail and durability as concrete, with a smooth, void-free texture. Gray color and Traditional texture are standard for CDI products. However, CDI’s colored products are used extensively for the value and visual appeal they bring to a project. The CDI color chart, available on request, illustrates several colors and a variety of textures. Textures include Traditional, which is characterized by randomly spaced voids; Modern, with fewer voids; and three sandblasted textures: Seasoned (light), Tapestry (medium), and Rustic (heavy). The standard finish for GFRC is Classic, a smooth, void-free texture. GFRC also is available in a light sandblasted finish. Specialty finishes, such as Antique, are available for either concrete or GFRC.
