A seamless concrete texture with concrete arranged in a stretcher pattern. The image represents a physical area of 3216 x 2436 mm (126.6 x 95.9 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 800 x 300 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 5 mm (0.2 inches) in width.

Concrete is one of the most widely used materials in architecture and construction, for structural and decorative components. Concrete high strength, durability, and ease of adaption through formworks lends itself to all building typologies, while the range of finishes, from board marked to polished, allow it to be incorporated with a variety of other materials and moods. Concrete can be cast in situ, or prefabricated and transported to site, where it is often used for slabs, floors, walls, columns, beams, and façade cladding.

This texture uses a running pattern also known as a stretcher bond. The stretcher bond is one of the most common bonds used in masonry construction and uses stretchers, bricks laid flat with their long edge parallel to the wall. Each alternating course is offset by a half stretcher.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
