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.

- To quote, send us
- 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.

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

How decorative screens are made and fixed
-
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.
-
Mould
One mould per pattern, so every repeat matches across the facade.
-
Casting
Panels or blocks are cast with glass fibre, cured and finished; large panels get cast-in fixings.
-
Assembly on site
Blocks are stacked with dowels and mortar or set in a frame; panels are hung on brackets and aligned.
-
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.
