Why Do Mistakes Occur in Choosing GRP and GRC?
Although GRP and GRC are widely used in facades and architectural elements, many projects face subsequent issues due to inaccurate material selection.
At #Takween_Industry, we notice that the error often lies not in the material itself, but in how the project’s requirements are evaluated before making a choice.
Mistake 1: Choosing Based on Price Alone
One of the most common mistakes is comparing GRP and GRC solely from a direct cost perspective, without considering:
- Service life
- Maintenance requirements
- Operating environment
A seemingly cheaper option may end up costing more in the long run if it is not suitable for the nature of the project.
Mistake 2: Ignoring the Project Environment
Failing to study environmental factors can lead to wrong decisions, such as:
- Using a material unsuitable for high humidity
- Neglecting direct sunlight and temperature effects
- Ignoring exposure to salts or chemicals
Here, #Takween_Industry leverages its expertise to determine whether GRP or GRC is the most suitable based on the project site and conditions.
Mistake 3: Confusing Appearance with Performance
Some designers focus only on the final appearance without evaluating structural performance. While:
- GRC offers a concrete-like appearance and higher rigidity
- GRP provides lightweight properties and manufacturing flexibility
Mistakes occur when a material is chosen for its appearance but fails to meet the required performance.
Mistake 4: Neglecting the Fixing and Installation System
Even the best materials can fail if:
- An inappropriate fixing system is used
- Expansion and contraction are ignored
- Loads and structural connections are not properly considered
At Takween, GRP and GRC are handled within an integrated system that includes design, manufacturing, and fixing systems.
Mistake 5: Generalizing from a Previous Project
Success in one project does not guarantee success in every project. Each project has:
- Different usage
- Different environment
- Different operational requirements
This is why #Takween_Industry relies on engineering analysis rather than off-the-shelf templates.
How to Avoid These Mistakes?
Avoiding mistakes starts with:
- Understanding the function of the architectural element
- Studying the environment and operational conditions
- Choosing the material based on performance, not just appearance
- Executing with well-defined standards
Here, Takween acts as an engineering partner, not just a material supplier.
