8 Factors Influencing the Cost Composition of GRC Panels
“How much do GRC panels cost per square meter?” It sounds like a straightforward question. Unfortunately, a single square-meter rate rarely provides a reliable answer. Two GRC facade packages can cover exactly the same surface area yet have significantly different costs. One may use a small number of repeatable flat panels. The other may require dozens of unique molds, curved elements, custom colors, concealed fixings, and complex export packaging. The amount of material is only one part of the calculation. For facade subcontractors, the more useful question is: What features of the project are driving the total cost of the GRC facade package? GRC—also called GFRC in the United States—is a cement-based composite reinforced with alkali-resistant glass fibers. Manufacturers use it to produce relatively thin and lightweight facade panels with customized curves, textures, profiles, and colors. GRC is an engineered, project-specific facade product. Its price depends on design development, mold
