It is popular
to impart a pattern or texture to the face of Tilt-Up panels using
reveal strips. Typically, these strips are anchored to the base slab
after side forms are erected, but before reinforcement is placed.
Concrete nails or other anchors often are used to fasten the strips.
This surface treatment must be carefully planned and executed, but
the results are striking. A reveal strip that is 1 inch off is
difficult to correct once the panel is erected.
