Facade GFRC – glass fiber concrete is a modern new construction material. This is a product manufacture by injection molding and injection technique from a mixture of fine aggregates: cement, clean sand, clean water, alkali resistant fiberglass and plasticizers. Because it is molded, the GFRC facade is a finished product. Diverse in designs and colors, uniform to every little detail. The advantage of GFRC glass fiber concrete facade is thin and light. It is possible to create large facade panels, helping to reduce the load on buildings. GFRC facade has been treated with waterproofing and surface acid washing during production, so it doesn’t need too much maintenance and is absolutely waterproof. It is often applies to decorate the facades of modern and different beautiful buildings.
What is facade GFRC?
Facade is the front part of a building. Facades are always carefully design and built, because they represent the unique architectural style of each project.
Today, architects and investors have more diverse options in the design and construction of facades for buildings. There are some types of traditional facades such as reinforced concrete or aluminum glass or Alu… or more modern facades GFRC.
Facade GFRC is a new construction material appearing and popularly used in recent years. These are products manufacture by injection molding or by injection from a fine aggregate mixture of clean sand, clean water, alkali resistant glass fibers and plasticizers. Facade GFRC is evaluate to have high strength, great bearing capacity, along with very good bending and tensile strength, compact weight and can be molded into large slabs. They are commonly use in modern high-rise buildings, commercial centers, Spas and residential buildings today.
Any product when produced and used on the market. In addition to the advantages that it brings to the user, there are still certain disadvantages and limitations. So is the facade GFRC. It has the advantage of being thin and light, with a variety of designs. Bringing to the construction works modern and luxurious beauty, there are still some disadvantages of its own. What are the pros and cons of this product? We also learn about the advantages and disadvantages of GFRC facades, so that we can make the best choice when building buildings.
Advantages and disadvantages of facade GFRC
Advantage
GFRC facade has high durability
These are finished molded products, which have been treated with waterproofing, acid washing, and surface treatment before installation, so they have very high durability. During use, they have good fire resistance, absolute waterproof. In addition, GFRC facade is less affected by weather, retains its original color and minimizes maintenance costs. Their application helps the building to keep its beauty over time.
Has great bearing strength
Manufactured from a mixture of fine aggregate concrete, clean sand, clean water, alkali resistant fiberglass and plasticizers. This mixture helps the product to have higher flexural and tensile strength than normal concrete. The facade GFRC has an average compressive strength of about 70 MPa. The bending strength is about 20-30 MPa, so it is able to with stand large forces with very thin thickness. Therefore, it is widely use for facades of buildings, replacing traditional facades such as aluminum and glass, alu, brick wall…
Highly artistic
GFRC facades are shaped by injection molding or by machine injection from a pre-mixed mortar mixture, so it is easy to create products with diverse designs. Depending on the architecture of each building, it will create different types of facades with different beautiful designs, diverse natural colors, and can create complex shapes such as: curved, folded, wavy… The facade GFRC application brings unique and impressive features to the facade of each building.
Thinner, lighter than concrete
With the advantage of being thin, light, capable of laminating (from 10-25mm) without causing cracks, cracks, peeling on the surface. When applied at the facades of buildings, GFRC helps to reduce the volume of impact on the work load, creating a gentle elegance for the facades of buildings.
GFRC facade is environmentally friendly
GFRC is an sunburnt material with most of its ingredients originating in Vietnam (except glass fiber and some other additives). Meet the requirements of green standards for the project. GFRC facades can replace products made from asbestos fibers and are completely non-toxic to the environment.
Respond to fast construction requirements
GFRC is cast with an existing mold, creating finished products so the erection process is quick, ensuring the construction schedule for each project. The application of GFRC facade helps reduce costs for investors and construction contractors when implementing projects.
Disadvantages
- Facade GFRC price is higher than other types of facade. Depending on the structure and architectural design of each specific project to manufacture and install suitable facade GFRC.
- The construction of this facade is done mostly from the outside of the building. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare lifting equipment, vertical transportation system for employees to work.
- Thus, through this article, you have clearly understood the advantages and disadvantages of the product. Therefore, when conducting construction works, you will have the choice of the most suitable building materials.

Facade GFRC manufacturing techniques
Mold making method
After having design drawings of GFRC facades for specific works. Depending on the shape, surface, and technical requirements of each product, we will make molds. And usually there are specific mold forms as follows:
Positive mold: Positive molds are made in a variety of ways and with a variety of material compositions. It is possible to use a real product, create positives by the method of wood jigsaw, or cast clay, plaster, CNC cut on wood, foam, plastic materials …
Negative mold: Negative mold usually has 3 types as follows:
- Wood molds are suitable for simple shapes such as flat, solid, can also be use for curved blocks. Wood molds use a low mold rotation coefficient of about 7 times, and they need to be replace with a new mold. Therefore, in order to save economic costs, it is more reasonable to use wooden molds for a small number of panels, with a small surface.
- GRP molds (plastic molds) are suitable for complex flat, block, curved, and curved shapes. Plastic mold has a rotation coefficient 500 times higher than that of wood mold, so it is more economical to use and is suitable for products with a large number of panels, helping to bring higher economic efficiency.
- Silicone molds (rubber molds) are suitable for products with complex shapes, curved, folded, wavy surfaces, elaborate pattern details, to easily separate the mold after GFRC injection. Silicone molds are very durable.
