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 (as low as 18mm),
• flexural strength - the concrete can actually flex,
• lightweight - because fibres weigh less than aggregate and less concrete is required.
