GRC decorative screens

Decorative screens are bolder than a jali: larger openings, deeper relief and patterns that read from across the road. They work as a second skin on a facade, a screen around a car park or a feature wall in a lobby.

The wall or bay size, a pattern idea, whether it's seen from one side or both, and what sits behind it.

We make them as large single panels or as modular blocks that stack into a wall, the GRC answer to the clay and cement screen blocks seen on older Madras buildings.

Decorative screens in Chennai and Tamil Nadu

  • Apartment blocks and offices along OMR and in the city use screens to hide service ducts, AC units and car parks while keeping them ventilated.
  • Restaurants, hotels and showrooms use screens indoors as partitions that let light through.

Screen styles we make

Four of the styles we cast most. Every one is made to your size, and the pattern or profile can be changed to your drawing.

  • Flower blocks

    Square blocks with a four-petal flower in a round opening. Stack them into a wall or a partition.

  • Quatrefoil blocks

    A four-lobed opening in each block, a pattern found on older Madras buildings.

  • Wave screen

    Tall, flowing slots in a single panel. Modern, and good for car parks and service areas.

  • Hexagon screen

    A honeycomb of openings that ventilates evenly, for AC ledges and duct covers.

How decorative screens are made and fixed

  1. Module and pattern

    We fix the module (panel or block size) with your architect so the pattern lands neatly at the ends of the wall.

  2. Mould

    One mould per pattern, so every repeat matches across the facade.

  3. Casting

    Panels or blocks are cast with glass fibre, cured and finished; large panels get cast-in fixings.

  4. Assembly on site

    Blocks are stacked with dowels and mortar or set in a frame; panels are hung on brackets and aligned.

  5. Joints and finish

    Joints are pointed or sealed, and the screen is cleaned and, if specified, painted.

Questions about GRC decorative screens

What's the difference between a jali and a decorative screen?

A jali is a pierced lattice, usually finer and more traditional. Decorative screens are a wider family, including contemporary panels and stackable blocks. We make both.

Can screens cover AC units and ducts?

Yes. Choose a pattern open enough for the units to breathe. Tell us the equipment behind the screen and we'll suggest the openness.

Can a screen be seen from both sides?

Yes. Double-sided screens are cast with the pattern finished on both faces, for partitions and lobbies.

How open should a car park screen be?

Open enough to ventilate the space. Tell us what the screen covers and we'll suggest a pattern with the right openness.
