Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is a lightweight, yet high-strength material made from cement, water, a polymer admixture, and glassfibre.

‍

It offers unparalleled design versatility, from hyper-modern forms to timeless, classic aesthetics, making it a perfect choice for any architectural vision. With its thin, bespoke profiles and resource-efficient production, GRC supports sustainability-conscious construction projects by minimizing material use and offering a durable, long-lasting solution for modern architecture.

While conventional concrete is often reinforced with steel and commonly used for load-bearing structures, GRC is reinforced with glassfibres for superior flexural and tensile strength. This unique composition allows for thinner, lighter elements - often as slim as 12 mm - that are easier to handle, transport, and install.

‍

Unlike conventional concrete, GRC is not used for load-bearing structures but excels in design versatility, supporting complex geometries and creative freedom that standard concrete cannot achieve. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, including façade cladding, balconies, and ornamentation.

No, both terms refer to the same material.

GRC is the British abbreviation for "Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete," while GFRC is its American counterpart, "Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete". We use the term GRC as it aligns with our British and Danish roots.

‍

Yes, our GRC has an A1 fire classification in accordance with EN 13501-1:2018, thanks to our production methods. This makes our GRC a non-combustible material suitable for projects requiring fire resistance.

However, not all GRC is created equal, so while our GRC has an A1 fire classification, the same might not be true of other manufacturer's.

You'll find our technical data right here.

Absolutely. GRC offers unparalleled design freedom for both simple and intricate shapes. Using custom moulds and advanced spraying techniques, we can produce elements tailored to your specifications. You can also choose unique textures, patterns, or even combine methods like CNC milling and aggregate exposure for a custom finish.

For inspiration, explore how GRC has been used in our past projects.

Our GRC elements can be coloured during the casting process using non-toxic iron oxides, offering a range of cement-based tones inspired by RAL or NCS palettes. For more vibrant finishes, we provide in-house silicate painting to achieve your desired look.

‍

Your project’s colour palette can harmonize with nature, create striking contrasts, or even feature shimmering effects using custom aggregates.

No significant maintenance is needed.

‍

After installation, no techinical maintenance is needed, and if cleaning is desired, the facade can be easily washed to look like new. The low maintenance-needs help reduce lifecycle costs and operating expenses.

It is rare for any material to be truly "sustainable," but GRC offers qualities that make it a strong choice for sustainability-conscious projects.

Its lightweight design reduces transportation emissions, while its durability and long design life minimize resource use over time.

‍

GRC is free of toxic substances, highly resistant to weather and wear, and can potentially be reused in renovations, supporting circular construction practices. Produced to measure with minimal waste, it integrates seamlessly into projects aiming for lower CO2 footprints or environmental certifications like LEED, DGNB orBREEAM.
