GRC Rafter Stick as an Affordable and Aesthetic Room Partition

Ensuring that a house has enough rooms, each with its designated function, can be challenging. Sometimes, homeowners realize that certain areas of the house can be converted into other necessary spaces, such as a prayer room (mushola), laundry room, or ironing room. Creating this kind of organized space requires clear zoning. But how can you divide a space in a way that is affordable and still aesthetically pleasing?

To address the need for dividing rooms affordably while maintaining an attractive appearance, the solution is the GRC Rafter Stick.

This type of partition addresses common challenges, making it ideal for modern and minimalist interior designs.

GRC Board Supporting Workforce Competency Improvement in the Jakarta TKK Competition

The Jakarta Regional Construction Workforce Competition was successfully held from Monday, November 10, to Tuesday, November 11. The two-day event was opened by the Director of Construction Workforce Competency and Productivity.

The competition was organized with the aim of serving as a platform to enhance the competencies and competitiveness of construction workers. A total of 24 participants contributed, divided into 3 teams: DKI Jakarta, Banten, and West Java. The competition categories were divided into two: mini-house construction (Building Implementer, Bricklayer, Tiler, Light Steel Frame Installer, Painter, Plumber, and OHS Officer) and Excavator Operator.

The participants in the mini-house category successfully completed the construction within the stipulated two days. The construction utilized GRC Board cement boards, GRC Simple Plank, and GRC Putty Flex Plus accessories as supporting building materials, from the working drawings to the final realization of the mini-house. This series of competitions demonstrated that the installation of cement board materials is very easy, coupled with its excellent durability and quality.

In line with the objectives of the TKK event, GRC Board is committed to enhancing the competitiveness, skills, and competencies of Indonesia's construction workforce at both the national and international levels. GRC Board also acknowledges the dedication and commitment of construction workers in creating more sustainable buildings for the future. This effort is all directed toward one goal: Indonesia Emas 2045 (assuming this is the correct target year, as Indonesia Emas is typically 2045).

5 Reasons Why GRC Board Ceilings Are Superior

Ceilings are often seen as a simple element in construction, but they are much more than just a roof frame covering. They significantly contribute to a building's aesthetic appeal and long-term durability.

a.     This design ensures greater structural strength, resistance to harsh weather exposure (for external applications), fire, and accidental impact.

b.     This proven quality affirms the reputation of GRC board as a high quality, long lasting building material.

GRC board ceilings and decorative panels represent a smart investment. The combination of structural strength, superior resistance, and material safety makes these cement boards the ideal choice for modern construction that prioritizes long-term performance and minimal maintenance.
