A form liner for use in a system to produce a surface of cementitious material including a plurality of surface areas each produced by a form liner to simulate the appearance of natural stone or rock and grout lines formed without seams visible between adjacent surface areas wherein each form liner comprises a mold including an obverse relief surface having a raised edge formed about the outer portion of the periphery thereof with at least one pair of opposite sides and a random inner circuitous raised edge formed inwardly thereof with a plurality of irregular contoured pockets formed therein to cooperatively form the simulated grout line and simulated stones or rocks respectively wherein the opposite pair of opposite sides of the outer raised edge is interrupted or discontinuous to form at least one plug recess such that when adjacent form liners are operatively aligned relative to each other corresponding plug recesses cooperated form a cavity to selectively receive a keystone liner plug having an irregular contoured pocket formed therein to form a simulated stone or rock to disguise the line formed between adjacent surface areas as grout lines.
A system to produce a surface of cementitious material including a plurality of adjacent surface areas to simulate the appearance of natural stone or rock formed without seams visible between adjacent surface areas comprising at least two form liners and a plurality of keystone liner inserts wherein each said form liner comprises a mold including an obverse relief surface having an outer irregular peripheral edge including a plurality of peripheral projections having an irregular edge interrupted by a plurality of outer recesses having an irregular shape and a plurality of interior relief forming pockets wherein corresponding outer recesses of adjacent form liners are operatively aligned to engage adjacent edges therein to form a cavity having an irregular shape formed by said irregular shape of said corresponding outer recesses to selectively receive one of said keystone liner inserts having an irregular contoured pocket therein and including an outer irregular peripheral edge corresponding to said irregular shape of said corresponding cavity wherein said keystone liner inserts extend across adjacent form liners such that cementitious material poured into said plurality of interior relief forming pockets and said irregular contoured pockets form a simulated stone wall having an irregular seam formed between adjacent form liners to disguise the seam formed between adjacent surface areas as grout lines.
A system to produce a surface of cementitious material including a plurality of adjacent surface areas each produced by a form liner to simulate the appearance of natural stone or rock formed without seams visible between adjacent surface areas comprising at least two form liners and a plurality of keystone liner inserts wherein each said form liner comprises a mold including an obverse relief surface having an outer irregular peripheral edge including a plurality of peripheral projections having an irregular edge interrupted by a plurality of outer irregularly shaped openings and a plurality of interior relief forming pockets wherein corresponding outer irregularly shaped openings of adjacent form liners are operatively aligned relative to each other to cooperatively form a corresponding opening having an irregular shape formed by said irregular shape of said corresponding outer irregular shaped openings to receive one of said keystone liner inserts having an irregular contoured pocket therein and including an outer irregular peripheral edge corresponding to said irregular shape of said corresponding opening wherein said keystone liner inserts extend across adjacent form liners such that cementitious material poured into said plurality of interior relief forming pockets and said irregular contoured pockets form a simulated stone wall having an irregular seam formed between adjacent form liners to disguise the seam formed between adjacent surface areas as grout lines.
