GRCA-GRC In Action

Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC*) is one of the most versatile building materials available to architects and engineers. Developed in the twentieth century, GRC has been making a significant contribution to the economics, technology, and aesthetics of modern construction worldwide for over 30 years. GRC is not a single material but a family of high-performance cement-based composites reinforced with special alkali resistant glass fibres, which can be engineered to suit a wide range of applications. GRC products can be formed into sections as thin as 6 mm (1/4 inch) so their weight is much less than traditional precast concrete products. The design and manufacture of GRC products is covered by international standards, which have been developed in Europe, America, Asia and Australasia. GRC is manufactured in over 100 countries.
