  • Grates
  • Planters
  • Urns
  • 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

GFRC Composition:

  • Portland Cement
  • Silica Sand
  • Glass fibers – to provide tensile and flexural strength
  • Polymers – to improve toughness
  • Admixtures
