GRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) is concrete reinforced with glass fibers, considered one of the latest materials for exterior and interior architectural cladding and decoration.
Basic Components
• Cement: White or ordinary Portland cement.
• Sand: Pure, fine silica sand with a high purity ratio.
• Glass Fibers (Fiberglass): Resistant to zirconium oxide by at least 16% to ensure reaction and durability with cement.
• Water and Chemical Additives: To improve the mixture's strength and reduce permeability.
Technical and Physical Specifications
• Thickness: Typically ranges between 10 to 15 mm for panels and decorative pieces.
• Weight: Lightweight compared to traditional concrete (about 40 to 50 kg/m2), significantly reducing loads on buildings.
• Durability and Hardness: High resistance to impacts, cracks, and corrosion, in addition to its high longevity.
• Resistance to Environmental Factors: Excellent resistance to humidity, climate changes, and ultraviolet rays, and is not affected by rust as the pieces do not contain internal metal reinforcement.
