Our signature weir-face material. The face is sandblasted, then acid-etched to soften the blast pattern into a texture that reads as consistent from a metre away and still shows real depth up close. Water sheeting over it breaks into a fine, even scatter rather than running as a glassy, unbroken mirror — which is the entire point on a tall cascade or wall where an unbroken sheet would just show every imperfection in the header.
