Boardmarked Concrete Herringbone

A seamless concrete texture with boardmarked concrete arranged in a herringbone pattern. The image represents a physical area of 2548 x 1707 mm (100.3 x 67.2 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 900 x 120 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 1 mm (0 inches) in width.

Boardmarked concrete (also referred to as board-formed concrete) is a process of concrete pouring within a timber formwork, resulting in a patterned wood grain texture forming on the finished face of the product. A popular choice in contemporary architecture due to the variety of rough aesthetics possible, boardmarked concrete is used for external and internal facades on residential and commercial projects. Boardmarking can be manufactured ‘in situ’ or prefabricated.

This texture is an example of a herringbone pattern. Named for its resemblance to the skeleton of the herring fish, this pattern is formed with a series of interlocking rectangles positioned perpendicular to each other. Its use in the built environment dates back to at least Roman times and remains popular in contemporary architecture for a range of applications including tiled surfaces and parquet flooring.

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.
