What is GFRC?
- is a lightweight pre -made concrete that is reinforced with glass fibers.
- is manufactured as a facade panel and attaches to the main structure with steel connections.
- its appearance can be similar to natural stone, concrete, or special 3D designs.
The main components of GFRC
The benefits of GFRC view
- Lightweight weight (1 to 2 kg/m 2) → Dead load reduction
- High impact resistance, freezing and temperature changes
- The ability to execute complex and decorative designs (classic, modern, 3D) Year)
- Dry and fast installation (Demanitability and Damage)
- Colorability and production capability in a variety of texture and design (like stone, concrete, brick, etc.)
GFRC applications
Technical specifications (approximate)
- Panel Thickness: 1 to 2 mm
- Weight: about 1-5 kg/m 2 (one -third of natural stone weight)
- Compressive strength: Megapascal
- Bending Resistance: 1-2 MPa
Short comparison with other views
- against stone: Lighter, more flexible in design, but more expensive.
- against Curtainwal: non -transparent appearance (stone), but higher mechanical resistance and lower cost. More luxurious and suitable for architectural facade projects, not just industrial coverage.
