Abbey Artstone Architectural masonry is manufactured in accordance with GRCA Specification. We use naturally occurring aggregates, sand, Portland cement and an integral waterproofer; pigments are added were necessary.
Whereas traditional concrete is classified by its compressive strength, GRC is classified by reference to its characteristic flexural strength, referred to as Modulus of Rupture or MOR).
GRC When tested in accordance with BS1881:Part 116: 1983 and BS1217:1997 and the United Kingdom cast Stone Association, the cast stone was tested over three 150mm cubes giving an average crushing strength well in excess of 50KN/mm2.

The maximum permitted variation from plane is 0.03% of the maximum dimension of the item of 3mm whichever is the greater.
The actual dimensions of individual regular units should conform to the stated dimensions subject to the tolerances in our full specification

Door SurroundsLightweight entrance features
Abbey Artstone's range of lightweight products designed for the construction industry is the only range of postfix lightweight GRC door surrounds available. With our range of GRC door surrounds you have an alternative to traditional precast or GRP door surrounds.
Advantages of GRC over precast and GRP Post fix design reducing the amount of damage that can occur prior to the structure completion. Ultra thin and lightweight units that reduce labour and mechanical lifting (time and cost.) Very little demand on the structure to which it is attached to. Hidden fixing system. High resistance to water absorption. Weathering occurs almost the same as with any precast stone keeping the building constant over time. Low maintenance with no UV light deterioration
We have a wide range of head and jamb combinations to suit all designs, but we can also manufacture to customers specific designs although careful thought should be given to pattern and mould establishment costs and utilization of materials by ensuring you make full use of quantity where possible.
