Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GFRC) is a proven engineered composite building material consisting of Portland cement, aggregate and glass fiber reinforcement. The glass fibers reinforce the cement, this helps to prevent any cracking of the cement. The glass fiber reinforcement results in a product with much higher flexural strength than normal cement, allowing its use in thin-wall casting applications.
GFRC is a cost effective option that offers significant benefits:
- Installation process is simpler and cost effective.
- It can be formed into complex shapes expanding its usage significantly.
- The panels can be made in extra-large sizes.
- No need for expensive forms, concrete trucks and complicated logistics at the job site.
- Given its production process, the composite can be painted to match any aesthetic on any project.
- GFRC requires little to no maintenance and, due to its strength it is resistant to high impacts.
- GFRC can address any design intent specified at a lower cost.
Installation
MADE Composites has created unique install features for GFRC parts that make installation easier than competing products. An easy install is cost effective, and on larger projects can reduce timelines by weeks., and on larger projects can reduce timelines by weeks.
