Panels

Architectural GFRC Panels & Cast Elements: profiles, applications and planning.

GFRC is reinforced with alkali-resistant glass fibers, delivering higher flexural and tensile performance than conventional unreinforced concrete. That strength allows intricate shapes and thin-wall castings without the mass of traditional precast.

Landmark Stone uses GFRC for façades, surrounds, columns, panels, fireplaces, and custom architectural elements that demand durable form and precise detail.

Landmark Stone is based in Olivehurst, California. Share your project location and drawings for a product review, including projects in Sacramento and across Northern California.

Preparing reference controls. Original catalogue links remain available.

Explore the actual material brochure and application evidence. It provides no independent per-code GFRC shell geometry. Browse the completed columns, crowns, mouldings and fireplace collections for their actual named references; their visual envelopes are not certified GFRC shell or fixing details.

Printed dimensions, original source pages, inferred proportions and catalogue conflicts are distinguished below. These are visual references, not fabrication CAD, engineered assemblies or stock promises. Confirm the product-specific physical finish and final project details with Landmark Stone.

Source evidence and reconstruction limitations
Material/application topic, not a separate numbered GFRC geometry schedule. The material brochure supplies photographs and specification figures, but no unique per-code shell, reinforcement, hidden core or fixing geometry. Completed column, crown, moulding and mantel collections remain available as their actual named catalogue references; their solid visual envelopes must not be misrepresented as documented GFRC shell construction. Older panel-brochure figures have different thickness/strength contexts and are not merged into one assumed assembly. Original source only; no generic architectural substitute is presented as an exact GFRC model. Not fabrication CAD.

From reference to release

What Landmark Stone needs to resolve the piece.

A catalogue code is a useful starting point, not the whole specification. Send the available project information and the team can help close the gaps before fabrication.

Common planning questions

Useful answers before you request pricing.

When should GFRC be reviewed instead of conventional cast stone?

Discuss GFRC where panel geometry, weight or architectural detail affects the design. Material selection still depends on the piece, support conditions and engineered assembly; request a project-specific review rather than assuming systems are interchangeable.

Can catalogue references be customized?

Yes. Catalogue families establish proportion and design direction. Final size, length, returns, radius conditions, color, texture, and project interfaces can be reviewed for the selected application.

What should be included with a quote request?

Send the model or design reference, dimensioned drawings when available, quantities, project location, desired finish, and schedule. Early sketches are also welcome when details are still being developed.

How are color and texture approved?

Digital finish studies help narrow the direction, but physical samples should be reviewed beside adjacent materials and in the project’s actual light before final approval.

Are attachment and installation requirements included?

The final assembly depends on piece geometry, substrate, loading, access, and local requirements. These conditions should be coordinated with the project team before release.
