Development projects involving hundreds of repetitive architectural elements face a specific challenge. Your BIM model shows intricate ceiling coffering across 15,000 square feet of lobby space. Your structural engineer calculates load limits for the mezzanine columns. Your MEP team maps out HVAC and electrical runs that conflict with your ceiling design, and your general contractor…

Columns are structural necessities in many commercial and residential buildings, but exposed structural columns – whether steel, concrete, or wood – are rarely attractive. They’re functional, but they don’t contribute to the architectural vision of a space. In fact, they often detract from it. Column covers solve this problem by transforming utilitarian structural elements into…

As an architect or designer, you have a vision. You have an idea for a building element that you believe will help the property stand out. But you also have a problem.

Natural stone has been a defining material in architecture for centuries. It is loved for its texture, weight, durability, and appearance, helping it combine both quality and performance in ways that have withstood the tests of time. Yet, in modern construction, some of those same characteristics have also become some of its greatest challenges. The…

GFRG is typically an indoor material. It is not typically subjected to extreme thermal cycles, at least not in the same way as a traditional exterior façade. Yet, as the weather warms, there are still likely to be temperature fluctuations from poorly functioning HVAC systems, indoor equipment, and more. How well can GFRG be expected…

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) is one of the fastest growing and most popular materials for decorative architectural elements. It is lightweight, easy to mold, and capable of producing very fine details. These strengths make it the choice for architects everywhere, using it for: Ceilings Columns Wall Panels Cornices Domes, and Much More Its combination…

GC Products LLC is one of the leading manufacturers of GFRC products, creating columns, domes, cornices, panels, and more. GFRC is a popular exterior material, because it is uniquely capable of withstanding weather and rain. Inside of a property, many products are instead created with GFRG (we also create these products). However, that doesn’t mean…

Many people like the look of natural stone, and there’s a good reason for this: it’s beautiful. Stone is not only a classic look, but also one of the most durable materials available today. Or is it? GFRC is able to mimic the look of natural stone, and we’d argue there are many reasons that…
