Abstract:
1. A formliner apparatus comprising: a plurality of substantially planar layers; a plurality of lateral and transverse 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, each recess sized to receive an individual thin brick or a fraction thereof; at least one resilient ridge on each rib defining each recess, each at least one resilient ridge extending into an adjacent recess; and each substantially planar layer being 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 is not equal to every other variance depth distance.
