Concept of GRC material
GRC is a new building material in Vietnam today. GRC is also known as glass fiber concrete – a type of coarse fiber reinforced concrete mixed in a mixture of fine aggregates: cement, clean water, clean sand, polymer, colorants and plasticizers. So what is GRC fiber glass concrete?
GRC fiberglass concrete is made by molding and injection method, which ensures to maintain the physical and chemical uniformity of the fiberglass and mortar content. GRC fiberglass concrete has a wide range of products for the modern construction industry.
Fiberglass concrete (FRC) easily creates large facade GRC panels, giving unique architectural features to building facades and it is lighter than reinforced concrete. In addition, GRC panel is also applied in decorating architectural details such as moldings, column tops, interior decoration, garden landscaping and shaping in fine art decoration.
Why use GRC panel?
GRC panels are lightweight, accounting for only 20% of the total weight of conventional concrete, helping to reduce the load on buildings.
Especially, GRC material is thinner than concrete, which helps to save maximum materials for product composition.
In addition, GRC panel contains glass fiber content and plasticizers to help the product have better tensile and flexural strength than pre-cast concrete.
GRC panels come in a variety of vibrant colors and surface finishes, shaping products in a variety of designs, allowing for creative designs, yet remaining true to the traditional character.
GRC material is a finished molded product, which has been treated for waterproofing and acid-fixing during production. When installed at the construction site, it will ensure absolute waterproofing, not affected by the effects of weather, so there is almost no need for too much maintenance. Finished products also help speed up the construction progress and ensure the progress of the work. The constructions using GRC materials are not affected by extreme weather such as too cold, fog or heavy rain.
It is fireproof and environmentally friendly, ensuring green standards for projects.
GRC panel has a variety of design styles and creativity
GRC panels can be floor-to-ceiling lengths, accompanied by intricate decorative lines without disrupting or reducing structural integrity. Besides, GRC also has a standard surface finish such as wooden or stone panel, concrete.
In addition, GRC panel is a good substitute for natural stone, helping to reduce transportation costs and easy installation at the site. Because GRC material is very light, manufactured exactly like natural stone, it is often used in stone cladding works, stone waterfalls or as landscape stone for garden decoration.
GRC is a multi-colored material with a beautiful delicate surface finish to any color. Decorative colored stone or glass can be added to the mix to create a granite-like surface.
This aesthetic flexibility is further enhanced by adding color effects directly to GRC panels, including adding a variety of aggregates, pigments and sands to the GRC mix. Production of this material also undergoes a sand blasting treatment, providing new look and design possibilities. In addition, visual effects can be created by mounting or casting bricks.
Does glass fiber reinforced concrete have any disadvantages?
The mechanical properties of GRC panel make it ideal for various requirements. However, one potential disadvantage for some users is the cost of GRC panel.
It can be expensive to use when compared to ordinary concrete. Of course, the added cost comes with additional strength and several other benefits, already mentioned in previous sections.
