GFRC Information

GFRC Molds by Stromberg Part of our GFRC design process is to create a mold for our clients that helps ensure that what is manufactured will fit the restoration or construction project. What is GFRC? GFRC is glass fiber reinforced concrete, which is made of a mixture of glass fibers, concrete, aggregate and other ingredients […]

Precast Concrete Compared to GFRC While precast concrete has been used longer compared to GFRC, which has been developed and used more commonly in the last few decades, there are some comparisons between the two materials that have led many construction and design firms to begin using GFRC more often than precast concrete. Here’s why: […]

Life-Cycle Costing Shows GFRC Outshines the Competition The Life-cycle cost of a product is the cost of a product throughout its lifetime. When comparing two products, it is important to examine both products’ life-cycle cost – not just the cost up-front.  Sometimes the one that is the cheapest at first glance can be the most […]

Using GFRC to Manage Your Acoustics Acoustics in Architecture Acoustics are important in architecture.  No one wants to live in a noisy home or shop in a noisy store.  Focusing on noise reduction is especially important when the building in question is near a  noisy freeway, playground, or other noisy venue.  Acoustics management allows audiences […]

With GFRC, a Little Care Goes a Long Way Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete is an amazingly diverse building material. It can emulate dozens of building materials from quarried granite to polished marble to poured concrete and even natural grain wood. Surprisingly, GFRC is also incredibly low-maintenance;  GFRC is rot resistant, termite resistant and easy to care […]
