A formliner system with a carrier and a method for constructing the formliner system are provided. The formliner system includes a planar support, design layer, and a carrier. The planar support includes at least one support layer. The design layer includes a mold. The design layer overlies and is attached to the planar support. The carrier is integrated into the planar support and includes a sleeve. The sleeve is configured to receive a connector. The carrier is positioned such that the sleeve does not extend proud of a perimeter edge of the formliner.

A formliner and master mold are disclosed. The master mold corresponds with the formliner, which includes a plurality of courses, each course having a plurality of pockets, each pocket sized and configured to receive a decorative brick, and a plurality of ridges arranged and disposed to separate the pockets. In the embodiment, the ridge lattice has a first ridge having a dimension that differs from a same dimension of a second ridge or a portion of the first ridge.
A formliner is disclosed. The formliner includes a plurality of courses, each course having a plurality of pockets, each pocket sized and configured to receive a decorative brick. The formliner is modular in nature and includes a joining portion for overlapping or being overlapped by a second formliner. At least one ridge of the formliner is at least partially within the joining portion.

A non-uniform formliner and master mold are disclosed. The master mold corresponds with the non-uniform formliner, which includes a plurality of courses and a plurality of ridges arranged and disposed to separate the pockets. Application of a cementitious material to the ridges gives the appearance of mortar joint between the decorative bricks in a completed surface. Each course has a plurality of pockets, each pocket sized and configured to receive a decorative brick. The master mold of the present invention comprises a plurality of pocket molds, each pocket mold sized and configured to create a pocket; and a ridge mold lattice arranged and disposed to separate the pocket molds; wherein the master mold is constructed of a rigid foam material arranged and disposed for providing a textured appearance to the formliner.

A non-uniform formliner and master mold are disclosed. The master mold corresponds with the non-uniform formliner, which includes a plurality of courses and a plurality of ridges arranged and disposed to separate the pockets. Application of a cementitious material to the ridges gives the appearance of mortar joint between the decorative bricks in a completed surface. Each course has a plurality of pockets, each pocket sized and configured to receive a decorative brick. Each pocket has associated angles of rotation with respect to predetermined reference positions in the range of between about -5.0o and 5.0o, in which 0o is level along an axis, the axis being selected from the group consisting of an x-y axis, an x-z axis, a y-z axis, and combinations thereof. At least one of the associated angles of rotation is not 0o and the associated angles of rotation give the completed surface an appearance of non-uniform construction.

The present invention is a formliner apparatus comprising a plurality of substantially planar layers. The formliner further comprises a plurality of ribs extending in a direction away from the substantially planar layers and defining a plurality of recesses within the formliner in conjunction with the substantially planar layers, each of the plurality of ribs extending to a preselected rib plane. The present invention further comprises at least one resilient ridge on each rib defining each recess, each at least one resilient ridge extending into an adjacent recess, wherein each substantially planar layer is substantially parallel with the rib plane and located a preselected variance depth distance from the rib plane, each variance depth distance for at least some of the substantially planar layers being preselected from a preselected variance depth distance range, wherein each preselected variance depth distance not being equal to every other variance depth distance.
