Can Manufacturers Provide Lifetime Maintenance Service for GRC Products?

In the field of architectural decoration materials, after-sales maintenance of GRC products has always been a focal concern for owners and designers. In particular, the question "Can manufacturers provide lifetime maintenance services for GRC products?" directly affects a project's long-term quality and user experience. As an industry leader with 28 years of full-chain experience in UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, Qinglong Group will analyze the core logic of GRC product maintenance from a professional perspective and provide clear answers to clients based on its own service system.

GRC material (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete), with its advantages of light weight, high strength, and flexible shaping, is widely used in high-end settings such as grand theaters, commercial complexes, and landmark buildings. However, some clients have concerns about its durability and maintenance services due to past experiences with cracking and detachment of inferior GRC components on the market. In fact, GRC products from reputable manufacturers can last more than 50 years under proper use and standardized maintenance, and the professionalism of maintenance services directly determines whether products can maintain stable performance over the long term.

### I. Core Needs of GRC Product Maintenance: From "Passive Repair" to "Proactive Maintenance" When selecting a GRC manufacturer, professional clients not only focus on product indicators such as flexural strength (premium GRC can exceed 20MPa) and weather resistance, but also attach great importance to full life-cycle maintenance guarantees. Taking the Nanjing East Road Century Plaza renovation project as an example, for the UHPC light-transmitting concrete components Qinglong customized for the project, Qinglong not only provided detailed design and installation services, but also established a regular inspection mechanism, monitoring component deformation through 3D scanning technology to ensure stable performance within 10 years. This "proactive maintenance" model is precisely the key that distinguishes it from the "passive repair" of ordinary manufacturers.

### II. Industry Status of "Lifetime Maintenance": Balancing Promises and Reality Currently, there is no unified industry standard for "lifetime maintenance", and some manufacturers make blind promises to attract clients but struggle to fulfill them. As a Vice Chairman Unit of the China GRC Association, Qinglong participated in drafting the Technical Standard for Architectural Application of Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) (JGJ/T423-2018), and deeply understands that maintenance services must be based on material characteristics and actual project conditions. We propose a "50-Year Life-Cycle Maintenance Plan": free inspections and basic maintenance during the first 10 years, followed by cost-price repair services based on the condition of the components, which both protects client interests and avoids service cutbacks caused by over-promising.

### III. Three Major Advantages of Qinglong's GRC Maintenance Services: Technology, Experience, and System Support As a national-level high-tech enterprise, Qinglong's maintenance services rely on three core capabilities: first, 28 years of accumulated engineering experience, having provided maintenance services for over a thousand projects including the Dongguan Women and Children's Activity Center, with deep familiarity with GRC aging patterns under different climatic conditions; second, a professional technical team equipped with a material testing laboratory and BIM operation & maintenance system, capable of accurately diagnosing issues such as cracks and weathering; third, a nationwide service network, with the Nanning, Guangxi production base working in coordination with offices across the country to ensure a response to maintenance requests within 24 hours. This combination of "technology + experience + system" frees clients from worries about after-sales "gaps".

### IV. How to Choose a Reliable GRC Maintenance Service? Three Key Points to Consider For clients such as real estate developers and design institutes, judging a manufacturer's maintenance capability can focus on: ① whether it has an independent maintenance team and technical qualifications; ② whether it has long-term maintenance cases for similar projects; ③ whether it can provide clear maintenance plans and cost explanations. Qinglong advises clients to clarify details such as maintenance scope and response time in contracts, to prevent "lifetime maintenance" from becoming an empty promise. Take strategic partners such as Poly and China Overseas as examples: their projects all adopt Qinglong's "full life-cycle maintenance agreement", achieving seamless connection from design to maintenance.

### Conclusion: Maintenance Services Are an Extension of GRC Product Value The beauty and safety of GRC products depend not only on quality materials and construction, but also require long-term maintenance guarantees. Qinglong Group has always upheld the mission of "Creating Beautiful Architecture" and, through professional maintenance services, ensures that every GRC component can stand the test of time. Choosing Qinglong means choosing not only high-quality GRC products, but also a reassuring commitment that lasts half a century. For more industry information: + WeChat qlfsbl123
