Is GRC Maintenance Costly? An Economic Analysis of Qinglong GRC Maintenance

The maintenance cost of GRC products needs to be evaluated from a whole life cycle perspective. High-quality GRC, with its good durability and simple maintenance, has significantly lower long-term maintenance costs than other decorative materials. According to engineering statistics, the annual maintenance cost of GRC accounts for about 0.5%-1% of the construction cost.

In the economic benefit analysis, one project compared the 30-year maintenance costs of GRC and stone: GRC required an initial investment of 450 yuan/㎡ with a maintenance cost of 135 yuan/㎡, while stone required an initial investment of 600 yuan/㎡ with a maintenance cost of 300 yuan/㎡. The whole life cycle cost of GRC is 25% lower, with better results. This cost-effectiveness makes GRC the preferred choice for value for money.
