Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete
What is Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete?
GRC is a composite material consisting of a mortar and fine aggregate reinforced with alkali-resistant glass fibres. GRC is normally a relatively thin cross-section, typically 12mm thickness depending on the application, and as much the tests carried out to measure performance and ensure consistent quality differ from those of precast concrete. Whereas precast concrete is usually characterized by compression strength measured in cube units, the properties of GRC are measured by flexural strength testing of thin samples, where the performance by the fibre reinforcement is evident.
GRC presents architects and engineers with a material from which the most ambitious designs can be created. It can be moulded to form modern futuristic designs or to replicate traditional historic features. GRC can be painted, faced with fine aggregate, coloured or simply left with a natural white or grey, smooth or textured finish.
Architects Alan Dempsey and Alvin Huang have won a competition to design a temporary, freestanding pavilion that will be built in front of the Architectural Association school in London early next year. The competition celebrates the 1st anniversary of the AA’s Design Research Laboratory. It was open to all students and graduates of the London counties and called for designs that made innovative use of Fibre C, a glass fibre-reinforced concrete panelling material produced by Rieder.
The image above shows a stunning view of the Fibre C modules. This pavillion demonstrates the capabilities of GRC's constructability within a tight schedule and budget, simplicity and elegant form, effective use of material and as a continuous extension of furniture to roof structure.
Benefits of Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete:
- GRC products are lightweight, easy to handle and fast to erect
- GRC products reduce loadings on buildings leading to significant savings in superstructure
- GRC is excellent for reproduction and renovation
- GRC is environmentally friendly
Throughout the years, GRC has been a popular choice for modular building due to its strength and light weight. Often used for bathroom and shower pods, in Europe it is commonly found in all types of service and utility cubicles. GRC's ability to be moulded to complex shapes and contours and replicate fine detail means that it is the ideal choice for this type of work. Also being light in weight enables larger elements to be fitted without imposing significant additional loads on the existing structure.
The types of GRC:
Cast Premix - As the name suggests cast pre-mix is a process where the fibres are added to the concrete slurry during the mixing process. The mix is then poured or pumped into a mould using very similar methods to precast concrete.
Sprayed Premix - Although this method of manufacture uses pre blended fibres the mix is sprayed into open moulds. The spray can be directed to the vertical sides of the mould thus removing the need to manufacture complex and expensive closed moulds.
Simultaneous Spray - This method of production was the first to be developed and is the still the most widely used throughout the USA, Australia, Middle East, Europe and the Far East. When designing large scale GRC components such as cladding panels it remains the only practical method due to the significantly higher bending strengths attained.
Due to its durability and aesthetic appearance, companies are now beginning to develop GRC cladding systems consisting of a number of wall panels that interlock together using a purpose made system. The use of GRC as a cladding and façade material is rapidly increasing as it provides architects with a high quality finish ad contractors with a cost effective solution suitable for fast track installation.

Fibreglass UK
Fibreglass UK specialise in the design and manufacture of quality GRP Mouldings for most applications. Their highly skilled team have years of experience in this specialised field that is essential when ensuring they deliver GRP mouldings of the highest standard. Strictly monitoring Quality control to ensure that the highest standards are maintained throughout the manufacturing process, enables them to dispatch products from the factory confident that aesthetically, dimensionally and structurally they are faultless.
Fibreglass UK undertake small to large volume production, but they are also mindful that sometimes a single product or prototype is all that is required. Due to their continual commitment to cost effective composite solutions and their open minded approach regarding unusual or specialist applications, they will consider almost any project.
GRP is one of the most versatile construction material available, offering the designer a wide scope for complexity of shapes proving cost effective when designed correctly. During the design process you can utilise the many inherent material characteristics that GRP mouldings has to offer, things like dimensional stability, choice of colour, lightness of weight, strength and a multitude of finishes, so there is virtually no limit to the complexity of shape, scale of work, or surface appearance achievable in GRP, the only limit is your imagination!
When first instructed to create custom fibreglass mouldings, a timber or foam pattern will be produced in order for both parties to see how the end fibre glass product will look and suit the demands put upon it. This is the initial part of the communication process necessary to create accurate GRP mouldings and helps to establish the needs of both the client and the end user.
For those that are not familiar with GRP or perhaps do not think they have come across it within touching distance, GRP is used in conjunction with most modern trains nowadays, including the Eurostars in England and TGVs in France.

Glass Reinforced Gypsum
Glass Reinforced Gypsum is a building material used as a floor underlayment, used in wood-frame and concrete construction for fire ratings, sound reduction, radiant heating and floor leveling. It is a mixture of gypsum, Portland cement, and sand. The material consists of super-fine alpha plaster, reinforced with continuous filament glass fibre mat and galvanised metal channel. It’s extensively used in shopping centres, airports and office developments, typically forming bulkheads with sharply defined steps and complex angles, or contemporary sculptures enhancing main communal areas.
GRG, or Glass Reinforced Gypsum is a strong, versatile, lightweight product intended primarily for internal locations. It is manufactured with hard casting plasters reinforced with glass fibre matting and metal or timber sections. It can be screwed directly or traditionally wired and wadded to a metal framework.
The complete system including all supporting framework will be detailed, supplied and erected by the company. Typical uses are for domes, column casings, lighting troughs, fascias and bulkheads. In certain instances GRG can be installed in semi external situations but it should not be exposed to direct weathering. The benefits of specifying GRG are its crisp clean lines with flawless monolithic faces free from traditionally plastered skim lines and rounded arises. Because of its strength and light weight, the casts can be made larger thus reducing the site installation time.
This innovative material is the first choice of many architects when planning to create complex shapes. Quick to install, with a seamless finish, GRG is ideal for achieving aesthetically demanding forms, particularly where shapes curve in two planes. GRG has to be constructed with care and speed.
Providing first-class workmanship and care about finishing every detail with the greatest precision, most companies use GRG for ceilings, columns, wall features, Jesmonite (the modern alternative to original external render and stonework) and any other complex shapes with that perfect, seamless finish.
Glass Reinforced Gypsum, column casings are a modern alternative to traditional methods of providing an aesthetic casing around unsightly structural columns." Our GRG casings are manufactured in our modern production facility in Leeds using a range of hard casting plasters hand laminated with multi layers of glass fibre matt for reinforcement, resulting in casings giving a perfectly smooth and highly durable surface finish
Whether you have a vision for large exterior columns, a detailed piece of period stonework, or an enormous Portland stone wall, we can realise your vision. Our specialists are skilled in producing bespoke GRC that resembles original external render or stonework.

The showcase includes many environments that we all encounter such as hotels, cinema, sports/leisure and also clinical environments.
It is the creative mind of an architect that transforms a good idea into a brilliant design, thereby inspiring his client. At the same time this architect needs a material that he can use to turn his designs into reality – and that drives him on to create new and spectacular solutions. HI-MACS is both of these: versatile to use and inspirational, and thus as if it was created for awe-inspiring rooms, buildings and installations.

Quantum Glass
At last it is possible to conceive of forms and volumes independent of the constraints imposed by geographical location, sun exposure and the immediate living environment. At last it is possible to let the imagination run free. Quantum Glass is a ground breaking concept, a pioneer in the field, offering an initial range of six synergetic technologies that, individually or combined, creatively solve the most basic of all questions how to optimize space.
Planilum - With the implementation of SAAZS lightprose panels, light assumes a unique place in living spaces and offers end users a new sense of intimacy and comfort. This technology is an active glass panel that becomes living material, glowing with pure and sensual light.Since their launch in Milan, SAAZS Lightprose panels have enjoyed unprecedented international press coverage and received awards in France, America and Japan.
Electrochrome - This active glass panelling switches from clear to dark blue under the effect of an electric current of approximately one volt. The intensity of its colour is reulated by a small controller connected to an ordinary switch or, if preferred, to a sophisticated electronic built in system. This clever system optimizes the functions of glass surfaces exposed to the sun such as lobbies, atriums and seating areas.
Thermovit - This advanced active glass panelling operates, when electric current is applied, to a radiator regulated by a programmable thermostat. With no accessories beyond floor or wall mountings, it serves as a 100% energy efficient electric heater that looks stunning. Under the effect of 220-240 volts of electricity, the invisible metal coating inside one of the laminated glass sheets emits infrared rays towards both faces of the glazing.
E-Glass - An active insulating glazing system with low-emissitivy coating. Electronically controlled by thermal sensors, the panels convert electrical power into heat. Depending on its composition, it can direct heat outward or inward and can melt falling snow, prevent condensation and constitute a source of heat.
Priva-Lite - Active glass which, under the effect of an electric current, switches from translucent to transparent (or vice versa) with no alteration of light level. Now a milky screen, now a clear window, it offers users the choice between privacy and visibility and even communication.
LEDinGlass - This is a complete active glass system that dynamically diffuses multicoloured light emitted by LEDs controlled by programmable electronics. Unlike a traditional light bulb, here, it is the entire glass surface that lights up! One or more RGB (Red Green Blue) LED bars direct a light beam through the edge of the sheet of extra-clear glass which is refracted out of the front side of white enamel dots screen-printed on the back side.

E-Glass - An active insulating glazing system with low-emissitivy coating. Electronically controlled by thermal sensors, the panels convert electrical power into heat. Depending on its composition, it can direct heat outward or inward and can melt falling snow, prevent condensation and constitute a source of heat.
Priva-Lite - Active glass which, under the effect of an electric current, switches from translucent to transparent (or vice versa) with no alteration of light level. Now a milky screen, now a clear window, it offers users the choice between privacy and visibility and even communication.
LEDinGlass - This is a complete active glass system that dynamically diffuses multicoloured light emitted by LEDs controlled by programmable electronics. Unlike a traditional light bulb, here, it is the entire glass surface that lights up! One or more RGB (Red Green Blue) LED bars direct a light beam through the edge of the sheet of extra-clear glass which is refracted out of the front side of white enamel dots screen-printed on the back side.
