•Appearance :Mould ability to produce wide range of intricate shapes and profiles. GRC has wide flexibility in design and manufacture, which enables it to reproduce most architectural styles and features. It can replicate virtually any surface detail and reproduce the appearance of materials such as stone, slate, terracotta and marble. Carved stonework involves specialized skills and it is slow to produce making the end product expensive. GRC can match stonework in appearance and as it can be produced in thin sections it is easier to handle and fix.

•Lightweight, ease and speed of handling, with reduced erection and transportation costs. Although GRC has a similar density to concrete the products made from it, are many times lighter due to the thin 10-15mm skin thickness used. A cladding panel manufactured from 100mm thick precast concrete would weigh 240 kgs/m2 compared to a similar GRC panel of 40-50 kgs/m2. In fact many GRC products can be lifted and carried by hand.

•Reduced loadings on buildings leading to substantial reductions in structural and foundation costs, especially useful for building renovation or restoration.


•Corrosion and Rot Proof: GRC products do not contain mild steel reinforcement and the problems associated with corrosion of reinforcement do not apply. GRC is unaffected by external exposure and will not rot. It is completely unaffected by exposure to UV light

•Cost Effective : GRC products have been shown to provide economic solutions to many applications. Although the manufacturing costs may be higher than say concrete, when the reduced handling, transport and fixing costs are considered, there can be an overall saving.
        •Ability to reproduce fine surface details.
