GRC Exterior applications

Light weight, height strength, good impact resistance; Capable of being molded into an infinite variety of shapes for both interior and exterior applications GRC presents architects and engineers with a material from which the most ambitious designs can be created. It can be moulded to form modern futuristic designs or to replicate traditional historic features. GRC can be painted, faced with fine aggregate, coloured or simply left with a natural white or grey, smooth or textured finish. GRC products are formed by a variety of manufacturing techniques. One of the most versatile is to cast the composite in moulds manufactured from rubber, timber or glassfibre reinforced Plastic (GRP/FRP). This is known as premix GRC. As the high-performance alkali resistant glass fibres are evenly distributed in the mix, the material is reinforced throughout, enabling products with the finest of detail to be created. GRC does not suffer from corrosion of the reinforcement and unlike traditional concrete, GRC does not require a minimum of concrete cover to the reinforcement.
