Using GRC panels to make a design statement at Balenciaga Newmarket

We are delighted to share some images of the recent project we did in the Balenciaga store in Westfields Newmarket. We created custom size Ultra High performance GRC panels that are seen throughout the store, in wall , ceiling and floor panels. They created an aesthetically pleasing ‘‘canvas’” for the designer brands products to be showcased within this fab new store.

Our experience in designing mixes was utilised to its fullest in this project . We created an ultra high performance GFRC concrete that was thin and structurally tough. Combining durability with an aesthetic look suitable for high fashion designers Balenciaga . With this mix design we were able to manufacture panels 3.6 x 1.2 x 20mm thick.

That is a beautiful feat!

The panels were all manufactured in our factory in Henderson. Using local manufacturers in the design and execution process allowed Balenciaga to create a Greener build, and reducing climate change. Increasingly we are seeing our clients asking us how we can incorporate sustainable or local materials into our processes. This is exciting. We can all do our part.
