Glass fiber reinforced cement is a
compound material that is a mixture of glass fiber and concrete dispersed in
all its mass by reinforcement. It results in a compound that is a panel of 10
mm breadth more or less and it is characterized by its tremendous
weightlessness (between 30 and 80 kg/m², depending on the type of GRC panel),
elevated resistance to twisting, footing and impact, resistance to atmospheric
agents, incombustibility, water-resistant, adaptability, etc. Façades made with
GRC panels permit to give the building a splendid architectural and artistic
significance.
ADVANTAGES OF GRC
There are end numbers of advantages
that we can list for the Glass fiber cement but among all, here are a few that
you can keep in mind.
- Shipping GRC panels to work: GRC cladding panels can be easily transported to their desired destination. It is far more convenient to drop multiple parts at a time and it also highly reduces transportation costs.
- Building structures and foundations that hold up GRC Panels: The GRC cladding panels are 70% less in weight I comparison to the conventional concrete and are a major saving in the design and building structure.
- Faster installation: the installation process for the GRC cladding panels are far quicker, given that they are so light and easy to carry around, they do not give you a hard time in installation.
- They are very strong as a material; GRC cladding panels have an extremely high tensile potency and bending, for the reason that they have the reinforcement of the fiberglass.
- The impact: GRC cladding panels hold an impact strength that is immense due to the absorption of energy that comes from the bundles of fiber.
- Waterproof: though the GRC cladding panels aren’t very thick in nature, they are highly water resistant and hold back all the water that’s trying to seep in.
- GRC cladding panels are highly incombustible because of the component that they have taken from their characteristic, so you don’t have to worry about those flames reaching your safe zone.
- GRC cladding panels have the capacity of surface detail reproduction.
- You will not be at a loss for choice, GRC cladding panels come in a huge selection of textures and surfaces that are easily achievable.
Glass
Reinforced Cement panels have turned out to be a very important part because of
the number of benefits that it has been providing the customers with and the
level of satisfaction that they get in the end by the result. Currently, the
uses of GRC cladding panels are being further extended and involved in the
development of stairs, power lines or poles for streetlights, setting of parks
and a large number of diverse applications that are rising attributable to its
skillfulness and a larger understanding of the fabric within the field of
Engineering and design, reaching its peak in veneer and enclosures by and
large.
