GLASS FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE
GFRC stands for Glass-Fibre Reinforced Concrete. Unlike standard concrete GFRC uses glass fibres in place of aggregates to provide reinforcement.
Glass fibre reinforcement provides significant advantages over aggregates;
- much thinner concrete (18mm as standard with our mix but can be lower),
- flexural strength - the concrete can actually flex,
- lightweight - because fibres weigh less than aggregate and less concrete is required.
