About ViViD
The Art of Relief
in Concrete
ViViD is an independent product line built on the same proven UHPC technology as Synstone — a material refined over four decades of Canadian manufacturing. Where Synstone focuses on smooth and aggregate finishes, ViViD is dedicated entirely to high-relief surface expression.
By partnering with Reckli's library of over 130 SELECT formliner patterns, ViViD offers architects access to wood grain, slate, geometric, organic, and sculptural textures — all cast in panels just 26mm thick overall, with a maximum relief depth of 13mm.
Sample panels: Wave, Geometric, Bamboo, Botanical — all in ViViD UHPC
Texture Library
130+ Reckli Patterns
Available in ViViD
Any Reckli SELECT formliner with relief depth ≤ 13mm can be cast in ViViD UHPC. Custom formliners are also available for signature architectural projects.
Reckli ref: Alster N, Ahr, Amazonas series
Wood Grain
Authentic cedar and Douglas fir board patterns cast with precise grain detail, knots, and natural board joints. Relief depth: 8–13mm.
Reckli ref: Saale, Strata, Abruzzo series
Slate & Stone
Fractured slate face, ashlar masonry, and rough-hewn stone textures that bring geological depth to the building envelope. Relief depth: 6–13mm.
Reckli ref: Kuro, Nova, Zen series
Geometric Facets
Parametric diamond, origami-fold, and crystalline facet patterns for bold architectural statements. Mathematically precise relief depth: 10–13mm.
Reckli ref: Paanu, Terra series
Organic Botanical
Tropical leaf, fern, and botanical forms sculpted in ultra-high performance concrete. Biophilic design at architectural scale. Relief depth: 8–13mm.
Reckli ref: Allgäu, Altmühl, Amur series
Ribs & Waves
Flowing horizontal and vertical rib profiles, undulating wave forms, and linear channel patterns for dynamic shadow play across the facade.
Reckli ref: Custom & Bali series
High Relief Sculptural
Maximum 13mm relief depth patterns including the iconic Reckli organic cell and honeycomb structures. Dramatic shadow depth at any time of day.

Why ViViD
Engineered for the
Building Envelope
Ultra-Thin Profile
At just 26mm overall thickness — including up to 13mm of surface relief — ViViD panels are among the thinnest high-relief concrete facade panels available.
Reckli Formliner Compatible
Access to over 130 Reckli SELECT formliner patterns. Any mold with relief depth ≤ 13mm is available in ViViD UHPC — from wood grain to sculptural abstract.
Exceptional Strength
Compressive strength exceeding 150 MPa and flexural strength over 20 MPa. The glass fibre matrix allows drilling within 6mm of the panel edge without cracking.
Lightweight Installation
At 35–45 kg/m², ViViD panels are a fraction of the weight of traditional precast concrete, reducing structural loads and simplifying installation.
30-Year Warranty
Backed by a 30-year limited warranty. Non-combustible Class A fire rating. Excellent freeze-thaw resistance validated to ASTM C666.
Rainscreen Compatible
Fully compatible with standard rainscreen attachment systems and concealed clip hangers. Arrives ready to install — no site fabrication required.
Technical Data
UHPC Panel
Specifications
ViViD UHPC panels share the same proven material technology as Synstone — a glass fibre reinforced ultra high performance concrete developed and refined in Canada since 1985. The following properties reflect the material's exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability.
* Technical properties are shared with Synstone UHPC Nano-Tech. Third-party testing conducted per ASTM standards. Full test reports available upon request.

Applications
ViViD in the
Built Environment
Wood Grain Texture — Horizontal Board Pattern
Multi-Residential Tower
Horizontal wood grain UHPC panels create the warmth of timber cladding with the permanence of concrete.
Slate Texture — Curtain Wall Integration
Urban Mixed-Use
Slate-textured panels integrated with curtain wall glazing for a sophisticated urban facade.
Smooth & Ribbed — Mixed Texture Composition
Luxury Residential
Combination of smooth and ribbed ViViD panels alongside wood-tone accents for premium residential architecture.
Wood Grain — Soffit & Canopy Application
Commercial Entry Feature
ViViD wood grain panels used as a canopy soffit, demonstrating the material's versatility beyond vertical facades.
Featured Application
Curtain Wall &
Rainscreen Systems
ViViD panels integrate seamlessly with standard curtain wall and rainscreen attachment systems, making them suitable for both new construction and retrofit facade projects.
Formliner Partnership
Powered by Reckli
SELECT Formliners
Reckli is the world leader in polyurethane elastomer formliners for exposed concrete, with over 130 patterns across six categories: Abstract, Functional, Ribs & Waves, Roughcast, Stone & Masonry, and Wood.
ViViD UHPC can be cast using any Reckli SELECT formliner with a maximum relief depth of 13mm — ensuring the finished panel remains within our 26mm overall thickness specification. Custom formliners are also available for signature projects.
