Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)
Applications including;
- Architectural cladding
- Moulding and landscaping
- Roofing, walls and windows
- Building renovation
- Foundations and flooring
- Modular building
- Permanent formwork
- Rail cable channeling
- Acoustic barriers and screens
- Bridge and tunnel lining panels
- Water and drainage
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is one of the most innovative construction materials available today. GFRC is typically made of Portland cement, fine aggregate, water, alkaliresistant glass fibers and additives. GFRC achieves physical properties that allow it to be used for numerous cladding applications, especially those where weight is a significant factor in the design, when mixed in certain proportions and manufactured under controlled conditions
with appropriate equipment.
Benefits of GFRC
This environmentally friendly composite, with its low consumption of energy and natural raw materials, is being formed into a great variety of products, and has grown in popularity amongst designers, architects, engineers and end users for its flexible ability to meet performance, appearance and cost requirements.
- Lighter than concrete
- Long-term technical composition
- Outstanding tensile strength
- Excellent fire retardant properties
