Glass fiber reinforced concrete or GFRC is a type of fiber-reinforced concrete. The product is also known as glassfibre reinforced concrete or GRC in British English.^[1] Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. -Wikipedia

German Gulf GRC offers the below advantages

• Aesthetics - GRC provides the look and feel of natural stone, architectural precast concrete, terra cotta, wood or smooth panels. It allows designers more freedom in shape, colour                and texture than any other material

• Design - Can be cast into virtually any shape. We supply wall panels, columns, bas relief, domes, column capitals, fireplace surrounds, mouldings, medallions and all types of custom GRC shapes

• Durable- GRC lasts. It is less susceptible to weather erosion and more freeze thaw resistant than conventional concrete. The use of glassfibres for reinforcement rather than steel means it cannot rust and can even be used under salt water and in marine environments.

• Eco-friendly- GRC has a much lower environmental impact that conventional concrete, stone or other materials. Made with minerals: cement, aggregates, glassfibres and in some cases mineral pigments and special polymers, GRC is designed to be long lasting and earth friendly.

• Fire Retardant- Made of minerals and will not burn. In addition, the nature of concrete acts likes a thermal resistance when exposed to flame. With its high thermal resistant, GRC could shield materials behind it from flame and heat that could reach up to 140° c

• Lightweight - GRC is thin yet strong, it weighs 80% to 95% lesser that solid concrete. This makes it easier and faster to be installed and reduces the load on buildings structure. The lighter weight and stronger material also saves transport costs, allows more design freedom and by using less material, reduces environmental impacts and embodied energy of the building

• Superior Strength -  GRC is strong and has proven the ability to withstand seismic loads and hurricane winds. For architectural elements, stronger means less chance for damage, easier to install and longer lasting.
