GFRC
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Sculpt your façade!
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is a modern material known for its versatility and strength, making it a preferred choice in numerous architectural and construction projects. Birthed from the fusion of high-strength glass fibers and concrete, GRC boasts remarkable flexural and tensile strength.
The core of GRC's prowess lies in its unique composition, where alkali-resistant glass fibers enhance its mechanical properties, resulting in a flexural strength around 18 MPa, much higher than conventional concrete. This makes GRC a coveted material in demanding applications.
What Is?
One standout attribute of GRC is its weight efficiency. Despite its strength, GRC panels are lighter than traditional precast concrete, translating to cost-effective installations, lower shipping costs, and reduced structural loading.
The moldability of GRC allows for a broad spectrum of complex shapes, curvatures, and textures, enabling architectural freedom. Its durability, including resistance to water, frost, and UV rays, alongside inherent fire resistance, awards it a Class A1 fire rating, bolstering its safety profile.
GRC's aesthetic versatility, capable of achieving a superior finish in various textures and colors, serves as a canvas for modern architectural expressions.
Format
At BetoKraft, we offer tailor-made GRC solutions to meet the unique demands of our customers. Our GRC products are crafted based on the specific designs provided by our customers, ensuring a perfect fit for their architectural aspirations. Here’s how it works: you share your project with us and our skilled architects break it down into panel pieces. First, every piece can be produced seamlessly and without complications.. Next, we carefully evaluate seismic and wind forces, selecting the most suitable assembly methodology for the project. After everything checks out, we create and put together the panels, bringing your project to life with ease and precision. Your vision becomes our blueprint, ensuring your build is safe, durable, and uniquely yours.

High Strength to Weight Ratio
GRC is strong yet lightweight, making it efficient and cost-effective for a wide range of construction applications.
Durability
With its inherent strength and resistance to weather conditions, GRC exhibits excellent durability, maintaining its appearance and integrity over time.
Design Flexibility
GRC can be molded into a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and textures, providing vast design possibilities for architects and designers.
Impact Resistance
GRC exhibits excellent resistance to impact, making it suitable for use in a range of environments where durability is crucial.
Low Maintainance
GRC does not rust, and it resists corrosion, reducing the maintenance required over its lifecycle.
Fire Resistance
GRC is A1 class fire-resistant, offering added safety and compliance with building regulations.
Ease of Installation
GRC products are typically lighter than traditional concrete products, making them easier to handle and install.
Sustainability
GRC enables the creation of durable structures that stand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements and repairs that can be resource-intensive.
Color Integration
Color can be integrated directly into the GRC, allowing a wide palette for designers to work with while maintaining colorfastness.
Excellent Finish
GRC allows for a high-quality finish, providing aesthetically pleasing surfaces that can mimic other materials, such as stone, without the associated weight or cost.
