GRC minarets and towers
Minarets are tall and slender, so weight is the main problem. GRC lets us build the visible shaft, balconies and crown as a light shell around a steel or concrete core, with all the detail cast in.
We make complete minarets as well as parts (balconies, brackets, crowns and finials) to add to an existing tower.
Where it's used
- Mosques and dargahs
- Corner towers on palaces, hotels and institutional buildings
- Entrance gateways
- Landmark towers in landscaping

Customisation options
- Shaft
- Round, octagonal or fluted; plain or with blind arches and bands.
- Balconies
- Corbelled galleries with railings or jali, at one or more levels.
- Crown
- Chhatri, small dome, lantern or spire, with a finial.
- Finish
- Natural, pigmented or painted to match the main building.
How we make and fix it
Minarets are cast as stacked sections with internal fixings and set around a structural core designed by your engineer. Each section is trial-fitted to the next before dispatch so the tower goes up true.

Photographs
Ask us for photographs of GRC minarets
We'll send photographs of GRC minarets we've made, in a style or size close to what you're planning.
GRC minarets: questions
Is a GRC minaret load-bearing?
No. The GRC is the outer shell and the detail. It is carried by a steel or concrete core sized by the project's structural engineer, and we design the fixings to suit.
Can you match an existing minaret?
Yes. We take profiles on site or from photographs and drawings, and make moulds to match.
