The light weight of Glass Reinforced Cement (GRC) compared to

many other cladding material is a factor well worth taking into ac-
count in the initial design calculations.
 GRC Product Applications

GRC Advantages • Private Villas & Residence

1. Lightweight structure, reduces transport and installation
costs
2. Excellent Edge and Corner Strength
3. Improved Surface Details and Quality of Finish
4. Easy to mould into complex shapes.
5. Maintenance Free: GRC is an inert material, unaffected
by salt, freeze/thaw cycles, or corrosive atmosphere. Unlike
concrete, as it has no steel components, it is not weakened
or cracked by steel corrosion and can live without mainte-
nance for many years.
