Crafting Elegance with GRC Mouldings by New Classic

In the realm of architectural design, the use of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) has revolutionized the way buildings and facades are embellished. At the forefront of this innovation is New Classic, a Qatar-based company renowned for producing the highest quality GRC in the market. Their specialized GRC mouldings are not just functional architectural elements but are also pivotal in defining the aesthetic character of any construction project.

Unparalleled Quality and Craftsmanship

New Classic's GRC, also known as GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete), is a composite material that offers exceptional properties. Class-A fire and smoke-rated, it comprises Portland cement, sand, aggregate, and glass fiber, which together provide remarkable flexural strength. This superior blend ensures that every GRC moulding from New Classic is robust yet lightweight, ideal for a variety of architectural applications.

Precision and Customization in Production

Each GRC moulding is meticulously crafted in New Classic’s state-of-the-art facilities using a hand lay-up process. This method allows for the production of various shapes, patterns, textures, and colors, or can be left with a natural finish to be painted on-site. With a nominal shell thickness of 5/8” (19 mm) and perimeter edges of at least 1” (25 mm), these mouldings offer enhanced durability and strength.

Aesthetic Versatility

The ability to customize finishes and textures allows New Classic to cater to diverse design requirements, making it possible to achieve a seamless look or a distinct architectural statement. The finely sandblasted exposed face of the GRC mouldings ensures a uniform and visually appealing surface finish that enhances the overall facade of any building.

Installation Efficiency

Unlike traditional concrete elements, New Classic’s GRC mouldings are designed for ease of installation. They are lighter, with a maximum panel size of 3’ x 4’ (900 mm x 1200 mm) and a weight of approximately 7 lbs/ft² (34 kg/m²), making them easier to handle and reducing the need for extensive support structures. This simplifies the installation process, significantly cuts down labor costs, and accelerates project timelines.

Comprehensive Customization and Collaboration

New Classic excels in delivering customized solutions tailored to the unique specifications of each project. By employing 5-axis CNC technology, the company can produce precise patterns for moulds that fit exactly as needed. Their collaborative approach involves working closely with architects and designers, utilizing 3D modeling and mock-ups to ensure that every detail is perfect. Detailed shop drawings and material samples are provided for approval to guarantee satisfaction before manufacturing.

Sustainability and Durability

The environmental resistance of GRC ensures that New Classic’s mouldings withstand the test of time against factors like weathering, UV radiation, and moisture. This durability translates into lower maintenance costs and a longer lifespan for the architectural elements, making GRC an economical and sustainable choice.
