Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is one of the most versatile building materials available to architects and engineers.
Developed in the twentieth century, GRC has been making a significant contribution to the economics, technology, and aesthetics of modern construction worldwide for over 30 years.
GRC is not a single material but a family of high-performance cement-based composites reinforced with special alkali resistant glass fibres, which can be engineered to suit a wide range of applications.
GRC (GFRC) has special advantages comparing with other construction materials:
GRC is easily moulded to produce shapes, details and textures;
GRC is Lightweight, and it is easy to handle and transport and to fast install;
GRC products reduce loadings on buildings leading to significant savings in superstructure and foundations;
High strength;
Not easy to be distorted outside;
Excellent for reproduction and renovation;
Environmentally friendly;
GRC is durable against extreme weather conditions, and does not suffer from corrosion |
