GRC (Glass Reinforced Concrete) is a lightweight reinforced concrete that can be used for a wide range of applications, most notably:

  • Light Weight Cladding
  • Panels
  • Mouldings
  • Facades
  • External string courses
  • Lightweight stand-alone structures such as Plant Pots, Benches and Columns

One can produce a multitude of finishes that are maintenance free and durable.

WilsonStone is passionate about glass reinforced concrete and its application in the modern construction environment!

GRC is widely used today for both new building construction and for recladding of existing building facades. In re-cladding applications, GRC can often be installed directly over the old cladding with minimal superimposed load on the existing structure, and minimal upset to existing tenants and operations. GRC panels and cladding are finding widespread global use in the restoration and renovation of historic buildings. GRC spray mix is a fibre reinforced pre-cast concrete of a typical wall thickness of 8 to 15mm thick. Hollow rib profiles created around the perimeter and across the rear face at designed centres. provide the structural integrity of the components.

GRC provides the designer with options for façade design that few other materials can match for versatility.

GRC or GFRC is made in thin concrete sections created by a proprietary process of machine spraying cement and aggregate mix along with alkali resistant glass fibre for reinforcement. Unlike steel, glass fibres will never rust and are placed throughout the thickness of the panels. GRC is approximately 80% lighter than pre-cast steel reinforced concrete, it offers greater versatility due to its superior compressive strength and most importantly its flexural properties. Due to the reduced weight, it is environmentally friendly in comparison to pre-cast concrete with lower co2 emissions caused during manufacture. 

The emission reductions are significantly enhanced if the reduced load on the superstructure with the resultant economies in structural frame and foundations are considered. GRC is easy to handle and fast to erect due to its lightweight mounting on a range of bespoke support systems. There is virtually no limit to the shape or profile that can be created in a variety of smooth, profiled or textural finishes. Moulds can be created to replicate the most complex of profiles in restoration, renovation and new construction. Support systems can be adapted to meet the demand for unitised off site construction.
