Recently, the industry monograph “Flexible Ceramic Engineering: Systematic Methods for Urban Renewal Facades,” hosted and independently created by Guangdong Fortune Stone New Material Co., Ltd., was officially registered by the Copyright Protection Center of China (Registration No.: 2026Z11L0321126). This not only marks the establishment of the new engineering knowledge system “Flexible Ceramic Engineering” and the clarification of intellectual property ownership, but also means that after years of exploration, China’s flexible ceramic industry has officially moved from “fragmented experience” to a systematic engineering era that is “analyzable, verifiable, replicable, and trainable.”

From “Construction Rhymes” to “Engineering”: Filling the Gap in Systematic Methodology in the Industry
Currently, China’s urban renewal is shifting from “large-scale demolition and construction” to “stock renewal and light intervention.” In the scenario of retrofitting exterior walls, pain points such as complex substrate conditions, restricted construction disturbance, strict fire compliance, and difficult cost control are increasingly prominent. However, for a long time, the application of flexible ceramic (flexible facing materials) has mostly relied on the “empirical judgment” and “construction rhymes” of material suppliers and construction teams. The industry is severely lacking in a systematic methodology to guide engineering decisions.
Facing this industry pain point, the compilation team of Guangdong Fortune Stone New Material Co., Ltd. has conducted industry research, enterprise visits, formulation tests, and engineering tracking since 2019. After the company was established in 2024, the team systematically sorted out materials science, standard policies, construction acceptance, and operation and maintenance data. After multiple rounds of revision and finalization, this original masterpiece of over 246,000 words was finally completed in October 2026.
Original Five-Part Architecture of “Trend, Principle, Method, Tool, Strategy” Directly Targets the Pain Points of Retrofit Implementation
“Flexible Ceramic Engineering” has for the first time built a complete architecture of five parts and thirty-three chapters: “Trend, Principle, Method, Tool, Strategy.” The book is not only a theoretical discussion of materials science but also a practical tool book directly oriented to owners, design institutes, constructors, and retrofit offices:
- Clear Boundaries: Pioneered the “three-tier structure” of the applicable boundaries of flexible ceramic and four insurmountable boundaries (e.g., cannot be applied when substrate strength is insufficient, cannot be applied when fire protection does not meet standards, etc.), breaking the misunderstanding that “flexible ceramic is a universal skin.”
- Systematic Delivery: Proposed the “six modules” and “four matches” of the retrofit system and three typical solutions, emphasizing “diagnose first, prescribe later.”
- Construction Standardization: Condensed complex construction processes into the standardized action of “one scraping, two pasting, three pressing, four leveling,” allowing construction teams to “get started after 1-2 days of training, with controllable quality.”
- Full-Cycle Calculation: Introduced full life cycle cost (LCC) argumentation, digital material selection, and operation and maintenance methods to provide data support for project decisions.
Clarifying Copyright Ownership, Demonstrating the Enterprise’s Technical R&D Confidence
According to the Copyright Ownership Statement issued by Guangdong Fortune Stone New Material Co., Ltd., the work was hosted and organized by the company, and its core viewpoints, chapter structure, and final draft were all determined by the company, representing the company’s will. The work is a work of a legal person, and the copyright is fully owned by Guangdong Fortune Stone New Material Co., Ltd.
Chairman Chen Haiping presents the book “Flexible Ceramic Engineering” to Mr. Chen Zhou, a media professional from Phoenix.
After the successful registration of the work, the company held a brief internal book presentation ceremony (see the first image). This is not only an acknowledgment of the painstaking efforts of the compilation team over the years but also a strong proof of the enterprise’s technical moat. In the current context of low-price involution and uneven quality in the industry, Guangdong Fortune Stone chooses to regulate the industry with systematic engineering theory and protect innovation with confirmed intellectual property rights.

Diagnose first, prescribe later; system first, material later. In the future, Guangdong Fortune Stone New Material Co., Ltd. will take the publication and registration of “Flexible Ceramic Engineering” as an opportunity to continue to deeply cultivate the field of urban renewal exterior wall systems, promote flexible ceramic technology from “material substitution” to “system solutions,” and jointly build a high-quality green building new ecology with industry peers.
