What it is
What is GRC jali?
A jali (or jaali) is a perforated screen that lets in light and air while giving shade and privacy. Traditionally it was carved from sandstone or marble. GRC jali is the same idea made from glass fibre reinforced concrete: cement, fine silica sand, polymer and alkali-resistant (AR) glass fibre, cast in a mould.
The glass fibre does the job that steel does in ordinary concrete, but it cannot rust. So a GRC jali panel can be thin, light and finely detailed, and still last outdoors for decades.
- Lighter than stone, MS or RCC screens of the same size
- No rust streaks, no rot, no termites, non-combustible
- Crisp edges and repeatable patterns from a mould
- Paintable in any shade; repaint later for a new look
Where it is used
Applications of GRC jali
Front elevations
Full-height screens over balconies and glazing that cut direct sun and give the house a strong identity from the street.
Boundary walls
Jali infill between pillars lets air through, reduces wind load on the wall and looks lighter than a solid wall.
Staircase and lift shafts
Ventilated, naturally lit shafts. Used on NTPC and NPCIL buildings as well as apartment towers.
Terrace and parapet screens
Privacy for terraces, hiding water tanks, AC units and services without blocking breeze.
Hotels and institutions
Large repeat-pattern façades, like the screens we supplied to Taj Palace, New Delhi for the G20 Summit.
Interior partitions
Lobby, puja room and lounge partitions, often in 25 mm thickness with a painted or textured finish.
Designs
GRC jali designs
Choose a pattern from our catalogue, or send your own. We regularly make traditional Mughal and Rajasthani jaali, geometric and modern parametric patterns, double-sided jali, and logos or motifs for hotels and temples.

Thickness guide
How thick should GRC jali be?
Thickness depends on panel size, height above ground and wind exposure, not just looks. As a starting point:
| Thickness | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 25 mm | Interior partitions, small decorative panels, low boundary infill |
| 30 mm | Boundary walls, terrace screens, ground and first-floor elevations |
| 35 mm | Multi-storey elevations and staircase shafts; our most common façade spec |
| 40 mm or with steel frame | Large panels, high-rise or high-wind locations, heavy patterns with big openings |
We confirm the final thickness and fixing detail after checking your drawings.
Comparison
GRC jali vs other jali materials
| GRC / GFRC | Stone | MS / metal | FRP | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | Light | Very heavy | Medium | Very light |
| Outdoor life | Decades, no rust | Decades | Rusts without upkeep | Can fade and chalk in sun |
| Fire | Non-combustible | Non-combustible | Non-combustible | Combustible |
| Custom patterns | Any, via mould | Slow and costly to carve | Laser-cut, flat only | Any, via mould |
| Feel | Solid, stone-like | Natural stone | Industrial | Plastic-like |

Installation
How GRC jali is fixed
Into an RCC or masonry opening
Panels sit in a groove or on a ledge in the opening and are anchored to the frame with stainless-steel fixings and grout.
On an MS sub-frame
For large façades, panels are bolted to a galvanised or painted steel frame fixed back to the slab edges.
Between boundary pillars
Panels slot between pillars and are locked with dowels and grout. Pillar caps and copings can also be GRC.

FAQ
GRC jali questions
What is the price of GRC jali per sq ft?
Standard GRC jali starts at about ₹350 per sq ft for supply. Custom moulds, thicker panels, special finishes and installation add to this. Send your elevation for an exact quote.
What is the standard thickness of GRC jali?
30–35 mm for most exterior work. 25 mm is fine for interiors, and 40 mm or a steel frame is used for large or high panels.
How long does GRC jali last?
Properly made GRC with AR glass fibre has no steel to corrode, so it lasts for decades outdoors. Paint, if used, is the only part that needs renewing over time.
Is GRC jali waterproof?
GRC is a dense cement composite and handles rain well. For exterior work we recommend a breathable sealer or exterior paint to reduce dirt pick-up and keep the colour even.
Can GRC jali be painted?
Yes. It can be supplied in white or grey cement finish, in a sandstone tone, or painted in any shade using exterior acrylic or texture paint.
What is the difference between GRC jali and GFRC jali?
None. GRC (glass fibre reinforced concrete) and GFRC (glass fibre reinforced concrete) are two names for the same material. See our GFRC jali page for spray-up panels for large façades.
How long does a GRC jali order take?
Catalogue designs are usually quicker because moulds already exist. Custom designs need time for the mould and a sample. We give you a written lead time with the quote.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes: 1,000 sq ft in Delhi NCR and 1,500 sq ft for other cities.
