FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about GRC or GFRC
GFRC: Glass Reinforced Concrete or in short (GRC) is a truly unique material. An environmental friendly products.
Glass Reinforced concrete (GRC) Also called GFRC concrete is a well-known building material to clad because of the variety it can offer and also the fact that it is 80percent lighter than pre-cast Steel Reinforced Concrete cladding.
The difference in GFRC or GRC is insignificant. Both refer to the same substance. The reason why there are two distinct acronyms is due to the various variations on the word “glass fiber”: Glassfibre Reinforced Cement (GRC)

Glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GRC) is a material made of a cementitious matrix composed of cement, sand, water and admixtures, in which short length glass fibers are dispersed.
GFRC is not an expensive material, owing to its high production and labor costs.
Lighter weight: With GFRC, concrete can be cast in thinner sections and is therefore as much as 75% lighter than similar pieces cast with traditional concrete.
GFRC is strong and flexible, and because of this, concrete pieces made with it can be thinner, which makes them much lighter than thicker conventional reinforced concrete. Also, because GFRC has its reinforcing mixed in, it makes it more strong and durable.

We recommend 3% of the total weight of your mix should be added in glass fibres.
Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC), also known as GFRC concrete, is a popular building material for cladding due to the versatility it offers and the fact it is around 80% lighter than pre-cast steel reinforced concrete cladding.
