Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, or GFRC, is a composite material that combines cement, fine aggregates, water, chemical admixtures, and alkali-resistant (AR) glass fibers.
Distinctive Features:
• Lightweight: Thanks to its thin, hollow sections, GFRC is notably lighter than conventional concrete.
• Enhanced Strength: The inclusion of glass fibers boosts tensile and flexural strength, enhancing durability.
• Long-Lasting: GFRC resists weathering, corrosion, and environmental wear and tear.
• Highly Versatile: Capable of being molded into detailed shapes, GFRC is ideal for various architectural applications.
• Environmentally Friendly: Its reduced weight and material usage lead to a smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional concrete.
Applications:
• Architectural cladding and façades
• Ornamental features such as cornices, moldings, and columns
• Panels, screens, and partitions
• Landscaping elements like planters and fountains
• Renovation and restoration projects for historic buildings
