Add Upscale Lightweight Decorative Arches for a Fraction of the Price for Commercial and Residential Properties Across the US and Canada
Arches are a form of architecture that immediately draws the eye, and one of the most popular arch materials is glassfiber reinforced gypsum, or GFRC. Used primarily for commercial properties and multifamily housing, GFRC arches are extraordinarily durable, lightweight, and easier to install than many other materials.
However, they still are not nearly as lightweight and easy to install as our popular alternative to GFRC arches: our custom designed, high end, cement coated EPS products. Our representatives would love an opportunity to show our products to you and help you see why they can replace architectural GFRC, wood, precast concrete, and so much more.

About GFRC Arches and Our EPS Arch Alternative
Compared to many other architectural materials, GFRC holds up very well. It is much lighter weight than precast concrete and frequently more durable. It is able to be customized into a variety of shapes and can mimic other materials. Arches made with reinforced GFRC can last for decades with minimal maintenance, and are often highly regarded by builders.
However, they are not perfect.
Despite being lighter weight, GFRC is still heavy, and the arches still require considerable manual reinforced to install along with a team to help handle the hefty weight.
In addition, the total project costs for GFRC arches can be significant, and the lead time can also cause delays that may add to the cost as well. Overall, GFRC is a great product, but it is not necessarily the right option.
When architects try our EPS arches, they often use our EPS products for *all* their architectural needs. That is because our architectural EPS arches provide:
- Very lightweight material that can be quickly shopped anywhere in the world.
- Extremely easy to install – no manual reinforcement, very little manpower needed.
- Weatherproof and long lasting, perfect for nearly all climates.
- Lower cost from beginning to end, from the products to the shipping to the installation.
It is for these reasons and many others that builders that use our EPS products for any of their architectural needs – not just arches, but columns, window surrounds, and so much more – often find that it is their favorite choice for all their architectural needs.
Our products are so lightweight and easy to use, that they are frequently used not only on commercial properties and apartments, but also in more standard residential properties that are looking for more architectural elements. Our products can help you create the designer, high quality arches your design needs to look amazing.
