DEC Material: Cornicestone FRP

Cornicestone is a custom aggregate FRP used to simulate architectural stone. Cornicestone is a careful blend of minerals, aggregates, polymers and glass fibers used to form a fire rated FRP material that appears to be stone. Since it is a cast product in a lightweight form, it allows architect’s to use large cornices and fascias, where natural stone would not be economically possible.


Uses: Interior & Exterior


Project Photo Gallery:

For over 35 years glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) products have been employed in the North American construction market.  While they provided many advantages over previous construction materials such as natural stone and GFRC, these heavy products provided many installation challenges such as tight tolerances and field finishing.  

Cornicestone is a Class 1 fire rated  product designed to meet today’s challenges such as budget constraints and tight delivery schedules.  The cast-in stone finish can match existing stone or be custom cast to your specifications.  The results speak for themselves with a finish that can be cast into shapes that would be cost prohibitive in natural stone.  Architect can get the dramatic cut stone look they require at the cost of a false façade.
