How Are Novum Wall’s Textures Created?
There’s a reason Novum Wall faces look so realistic. Their textures are created from the relief of actual quarried stones. Our master mold designers find the perfect pieces with faces that capture the true essence of the stone. They then reproduce them in casts, meticulously preserving the raw grooves, natural nooks, and character-rich clefts of the stones. The casts are used to craft the proprietary high-strength polyurethane molds that ensure no face details are lost. The molds are then securely affixed to the block forms which fashion the architectural-grade concrete into beautiful, high-definition Novum Wall blocks
How Do Novum Wall’s Textures Look So Natural?
Details matter, especially when you’re creating a high-profile wall. You want it to look as natural as possible. Each Novum Wall texture features multiple pieces with a variety of faces to avoid the appearance of a repetitive pattern. Each texture can be installed with a minimum of 34.56 sq ft (3.21 sq m) of non-repeating face, allowing you to replicate the hand-chiseled appearance of a random natural stone wall. Your local manufacturer may produce Novum Wall in various colors, often matching the rock hues in your region.
Novum Wall Textures
Novum Wall’s wet cast technology delivers deep, natural stone-like textures, while three expertly crafted options ensure a seamless fit for any project.
RIDGE – With irregular edges and rustic relief, Ridge adds time-worn character to high-profile installations like marine walls, municipal parks, and commercial applications.
SUMMIT – Symmetrical and balanced, Summit’s elegant large-format texture draws from grand architectural traditions. It’s ideal for complex commercial installations and detailed residential projects.
ALPINE – Rugged and weathered, Alpine's stacked fieldstone look evokes European mountainscapes – perfect for smaller residential walls or reduced-scale designs requiring that extra detail.
