GFRC Comes in Any Color Imaginable
One of the many benefits of GFRC is its design freedom so that it can look and feel like just about any material out there. This has helped to create some incredible architectural features, including everything from whimsical play sculptures and imaginative architecture at resorts like Atlantis in the Bahamas or Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.
However, GFRC’s versatility extends beyond just texture and finish. There is also the design element of color, which is important to many architectural projects. Here’s what is possible when it comes to color and GFRC.
Using Color in Architectural Features
Color is an important design element on both the interior and exterior of all types of buildings. It adds visual interest and can make one building stand out from those around it. As a design element, color also works as a visual way to create recognition between the viewer and the brand or application that the viewer may be interested in.
Color has also been seen as a way to create a certain mood or environment in a building, which can be conducive to productivity or improve attitudes. Whatever the reason, color is a critical element that becomes part of the design process.
GFRC and Color
When you use GFRC for your architectural elements, you can basically name your color and the team at Stromberg Architectural can match it. There are three basic colors that are used, including Smooth White, Limestone Buff, and Limestone White. Consider these as the base colors available.
From there, Stromberg Architectural can match colors provided from something as small as a paint chip to a fabric sample or a pantone color. Custom colors can also be created from a simple idea.
Other GFRC color options include cast-in colors that include solid and mottled colors that look smooth, sandblasted, or even acid wash. Another option is to create an architectural element that is paint ready so that you can finish it with whatever paint or stain color you have in mind.
