What is GFRC?
Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete

What is GFRC?

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete, GFRC, or commonly GRC, is a cement based composite material reinforced with alkali-resistant glass fibres.

The materials in GFRC are not meshed together, as they retain their chemical & physical properties. Each material coexists in a perfect harmony in the panel, acting with a certain synergy to complement each other in load distribution and tensile capabilities.

GFRC, an innovation in design and architecture, is shaping a landscape for economic and eco-friendly renewal within development. A lightweight structure makes transportation easier & increased tensile strength enables GFRC to be a viable substitute as a material used for reinforcement, creating an alternative to standard precast concrete cladding. 

The Advantages of GFRC?

The practical advantages of GFRC / GRC within the construction industry cannot be understated. The lighter weight of the panelling reduces both the transportation cost and construction timelines.

Slimer panels can be made that have weight capacities rivalling the thicker and denser original concrete casts, proving its value as a suitable replacement. Not only is it lighter, stronger, and more durable, but GFRC / GRC is also greener, being able to take advantage of recycled Glass Fibres as well as utilising less concrete in its formation.
