What Is GFRC?
Glass fibre reinforced concrete is a specialised form of concrete with many different applications and uses. From fireplace surrounds and concrete countertops to pottery and custom furniture, there are many differed ways GFRC can be used. One of GFRC’s greatest benefits is its smaller density to concrete. This means it is a more lightweight construction and can be made much thinner. It is also exceptionally strong and flexible which makes it extremely resistant to cracking.
