DEC Architectural Composites, offers an unlimited range of textures that are cast into our custom GFRC parts.  In addition to the texture, we can fabricate the part in various finishes depending upon the project requirements.  With our glass fiber-reinforced cement product (GFRCnext), we offer the product in a range of finishes such as integral stone finishes, woodgrain finish or a standard gray finish.  GFRCnext is the next generation of GFRC that combines the physical attributes with a more forgiving reinforced cement product. Each of these products has their advantages and costs involved in fabricating them, but we try to match the finish with the application and the product application.

Our standard gray finish GFRCnext is a primer ready finish for projects that are going to be field painted when they are installed.  This is our least expensive finish that allows for any field modifications or patching to be concealed with a final paint finish.  It is also the easiest finish to touch-up or re-paint as time goes on.

Our woodgrain finish GFRCnext is really a combination of a cast-in woodgrain and either a wood color or a base for field applied staining.  Since the parts have a texture, a stain or glaze can be applied that lodges into the grain while the rest is wiped off. This gives the part a natural two-tone look of real wood.  Woodgrains, of course, can also be painted in white or other colors, if a painted wood look is desired.

Our integral stone finish FRP known as Echo-Stone, is an integrally colored, natural aggregate finish used to match natural or cast stone.  We offer many standard stone finishes or we will custom to match your pre-cast or stone samples.  This is a highly durable finish that can be cast into very detailed, very complex and very large shapes that would be cost prohibitive in anything but a composite material.  This is our most popular finish, although not our least expensive finish.

No matter what your choice, a standard gray for field paint, a woodgrain finish or our integral stone finish GFRC, we can fabricate them all in cornices, columns, rafter tails, false beams or any custom shape for all types of architecture for your application.  Please specify either Echo-Stone or GFRCnext on your project. 

Let DEC provide the solutions to your architectural vision.
