Elevating Architecture with Superior Strength and Design Flexibility

At New Classic, based in Qatar, we specialize in providing the highest quality Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC), offering a versatile and reliable solution for a range of architectural elements. Our premium GRC is known for its strength, flexibility, and superior aesthetic qualities, making it the ideal material for creating lasting, stunning designs. One of the standout products in our portfolio is the GRC Corniche, a key feature in architectural projects that enhances both the functionality and beauty of building facades.

What Makes New Classic GRC Corniche Stand Out?

GRC, or Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, is a revolutionary material that combines the durability of concrete with the lightweight properties of glass fibers. New Classic GRC is a Class A fire and smoke-rated composite material made with Portland cement, sand, aggregate, and glass fiber. It provides an excellent flexural strength, ensuring the long-term stability of architectural features such as cornices.

Our GRC Corniche is crafted with meticulous precision using a hand lay-up process and factory-moulded to deliver a finely sandblasted, uniform surface finish. This ensures that your cornice elements not only look pristine but also last longer, with minimal maintenance required.

Unmatched Durability and Performance

GRC is known for its superior strength-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal choice for low-rise exterior facade veneer panels, cornices, pediments, window and door frames, and other decorative features. New Classic GRC Corniche is no exception. With a nominal shell thickness of 5/8” (19 mm) and additional reinforcement at the perimeter edges, it is designed to withstand the elements while maintaining its structural integrity over time.

Unlike conventional concrete, which can be heavy and difficult to handle, our GRC Corniche is lightweight, making it easier to install and reducing labor costs. The panels, with a maximum size of 3' x 4' (900 mm x 1200 mm), are lightweight at only 7 lbs/ft² (34 kg/m²), allowing for quicker installations and cost-effective solutions for your projects.

Flexibility in Design: Tailored to Your Vision

New Classic GRC offers unmatched design flexibility, allowing for the creation of intricate patterns, textures, and custom shapes. Our GRC Corniche can be crafted to meet your specific architectural vision. Whether you're designing a traditional or contemporary facade, our team can work with architects and designers to bring your ideas to life using 3D modelling and mock-ups.

Thanks to 5-axis CNC technology, we can produce precision patterns and complex designs, ensuring that every element of the GRC Corniche aligns with your aesthetic and technical specifications. The result is a custom-made product that fits seamlessly into your project, adding both visual appeal and functionality.

Fire Safety and Environmental Resistance

Safety is paramount in any architectural project, and New Classic GRC Corniche is designed with this in mind. Our GRC material is inherently fire and smoke-resistant, offering peace of mind in the event of fire emergencies. This fire-resistant property makes it a safe choice for both residential and commercial buildings.

Moreover, GRC is highly resistant to environmental factors, such as UV radiation, moisture, and weathering. This durability ensures that the GRC Corniche retains its strength and aesthetic appearance over time, reducing the need for costly repairs and replacements. The longevity of GRC Corniche means that it will continue to look impressive for years to come, providing both beauty and functionality for your building.
