Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Solutions

GRC Cladding

GRC Panels & Soffits

As a construction or architectural company, you'll probably have heard of Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete. Commonly referred to simply as GRC, it's becoming the "go-to" product for building facias, facades and structural support.

Why use GRC? In simple terms it offers a simpler, less risky solution to traditional concrete, saving time, money and risk on your project.

Imagine doing away with the need for a crane to lift concrete panels into place. Imagine only needing a couple of construction workers to lift each panel into place. Imagine minimal health and safety requirements due to the lightweight nature of Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete products.

Technologically advanced, economically attractive, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly, GRC starts to make a lot of sense for construction.

"GRC is typically 80% lighter than standard pre-cast, steel reinforced concrete. Cheaper to install. What's not to like about that?"

GRC Concrete

What is GRC?

The product comes in either a spray or cast format. Generally, the products we fit are of a sprayed format which combines glassfibre, resins and concrete to create a super lightweight, strong, weather resistant product. Sprayed GRC forms a stronger product than compacted casting.

GRC is significantly lighter than traditional steel reinforced concrete. GRC is also more flexible in its use because of it's strength and material composition. The production of Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete uses much cleaner manufacturing processes making it much more environmentall friendly. The benefits don't end there. The lightweight nature of GRC means it doesn't need heavy equipment to lift it and is therefore easier to manoeuvre and quicker to install.

Key benefits to using GRC and its uses.
