🏛️ GRC in Heritage Restoration: Bridging the Past and the Future in Saudi Architecture

In a country where history and heritage are deeply valued, the restoration of traditional architecture presents both a cultural responsibility and an engineering challenge. At Rona Riyadh, we proudly contribute to the preservation and revival of Saudi Arabia’s historic landmarks through advanced GRC, GRG, and GRP solutions that respect tradition while embracing innovation.

🕌 The Importance of Preserving Architectural Identity

Saudi Arabia is home to countless historical buildings, palaces, mosques, and old town districts—each with a unique architectural language. However, preserving these landmarks requires:

Materials that mimic traditional textures and forms
High resistance to weather, moisture, and time
Light-weight solutions for fragile structures
Customization that reflects original design aesthetics

That’s where GRC (Glass Reinforced Concrete) becomes a game-changer.

🛠️ GRC for Heritage Projects – Precision Meets Authenticity

GRC allows us to replicate intricate historical details—whether it’s a carved column capital, a patterned archway, or a traditional window frame (mashrabiya). With custom molds and handcrafted textures, our teams at Rona Riyadh ensure every piece fits seamlessly into its historical context.

We have successfully supported:

Restoration of Islamic landmarks
Revival of heritage buildings in Riyadh and Jeddah
Facades of traditional-style hotels and museums

Using GFRC panels enables us to preserve the spirit of the past while ensuring structural performance in line with modern standards.

🎨 GRG and GRP in Interior Conservation

Inside heritage buildings, we use GRG (for detailed ceiling works and domes) and GRP (for lightweight skylights and waterproof elements). These materials help:

Restore ornamented ceilings with accurate molds
Create light domes and arches without structural pressure
Match original curvature, relief, and style
Enhance acoustic and thermal properties discreetly
