Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Wall Panels

A typical mix with 5 glass fiber has a compressive strength of 6 000 to 8 000 psi.

Glass fiber reinforced concrete wall panels. If instead of the polymer we use portland cement and sand the resulting material is glass fiber reinforced concrete gfrc or sometimes grc the brits call it glassfibre reinforced concrete. Our concrete wall panels are cast using a glass fiber reinforced concrete gfrc matrix a high performance concrete that allows the panels to be made lighter stronger thinner and larger then conventional concrete. They are used on walls and ceilings and can be installed directly over drywall wood concrete block and many other solid surfaces frp systems include plastic trim molding to create a continuous durable scratch resistant surface that is easy to clean and mold. Glass fiber reinforced concrete gfrc is a type of fiber reinforced concrete.

Gfrc panels wall cladding systems. Gfrc is a 1 2 thick laminate reinforced with steel and glass fibers resulting in a much stronger material than normal concrete. Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. Glass fiber reinforced concrete gfrc is one of the most innovative construction materials available today.

Gfrc is a portland cement based composite with alkaliresistant glass fiber randomly dispersed throughout the product. Synstone concrete soffit cladding panel systems. Gfrc can be expected to last as long as pre cast concrete. The product is also known as glassfibre reinforced concrete or grc in british english.

Gfrc is a specialized form of concrete with many applications. The material used to make boats or other products although called fiberglass is really glass fiber reinforced plastic glass fibers in a polymer matrix. The tough impact proof and non combustible panels have unmatched exterior durability and are resistant to ultra violet light acid rain and freeze thaw. Gfrc glass fiber reinforced concrete facilitates unprecedented opportunities for building design.

Somewhat similar materials are fiber cement siding and cement boards. Fiberglass reinforced panels or frp are thin flexible plastic panels made of strong polyester resin reinforced with fiberglass. Glass fiber reinforced concrete gfrc is a lightweight composite consisting of portland cement sand aggregates alkali resistant fiber polymer additives and water. Synstone panels are lightweight and high strength glass fibre reinforced concrete panels available with many surface finishes and colours.

Our gfrc wall panels are typically made at 3 4 1 thick. If you aren t yet familiar with glass fiber reinforced concrete gfrc you should be. Glass fiber reinforced concrete has been tested both by accelerated aging tests in the laboratory and in real life installations. Polycon products made in czech republic and trusted as the worlds highest quality gfrc glass fiber reinforced concrete panel.
