Introduction
Through Concrete has been used throughout the ages, Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is used as light and strong building material for producing architectural panels and screens in variety of colors and textures.
Applications
Concrete Technology LLC by using GFRC offers an endless variety of decorative and ornamental shapes and forms such as:
- GRC Claddings
- GRC Cornice
- GRC Parapets
- GRC Domes & copings
- Columns Covers
- Balustrades
- Planters
- GRC Screens
- Pergola - (Sun shade panels)
WHY GRC?
- Lightweight, which is the major benefit of GFRC that allows for reduced erection and transport, costs due to ease and speed of handling.
- Highly moisture resistant, GFRC will not rot, disintegrate or swell when exposed to water, or even submerged in water.
- Reduced loading on buildings leading to substantial reductions in structural and foundation cost.
- Highly comprehensive strength.
- Ability to produce fine surface details
- Low maintenance requirements.
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion
- High fire resistance
- Environmentally friendly
- Vapor permeability; GFRC allows any minor water intrusions through joints or openings to slowly diffuse outward through the exterior surface, preventing cracks
Composition:
GFRC is composed of:
- Portland Cement
- Silica Sand
- Glass fibers – to provide tensile and flexural strength
- Polymers – to improve toughness
- Admixtures
