GFRC was first introduced to the world's building industry more than 40 years ago starting in the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia where it is extensively used today.

GFRC Popular With Architects, Engineers

It's popularity among architects, engineers and construction firms soon spread to the Middle East and United States where its primary use is in the fabrication of pre-cast exterior walls for mid to high-rise buildings.

When manufactured using exact mix formulas and specialty equipment under controlled conditions, GFRC achieves remarkable construction-grade physical properties that make it ideal for numerous applications, especially those where high-strength and low-weight ratios are significant design factors.

GFRC Comparable To Natural Stone

GFRC cast stone is comparable to natural stone as a construction material in appearance and performance, yet can be formed to almost any shape and proportion the designer wishes. It can equal, or even surpass, the technical capabilities of natural stone in terms of strength, moisture penetration and coloring.

GFRC is frequently encountered in building restorations and used to replicate stone, cast stone, and even architectural terra cotta in projects such as cathedrals and historical structures.

In the last 25 years, landscape, swimming pool and general construction contractors have discovered the benefits of using GFRC cast boulders and rock cliff panels.

They use the castings to build waterfalls, grottos, and lagoons at residential and commercial projects which make finished projects appear as if they were carved into a hillside by erosion a thousand years ago.

Our Formula Exceeds Industry Standards

Our GFRC formula exceeds standard industry mixtures tested to achieve a tensile strength of up to 9,000 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure, compressive strength up to 1,300 psi, flexural strength up to 5,000 psi, and low moisture permeability to defend against freeze-thaw conditions.

In fact, less superior versions of our GFRC formula have earned an "excellent" rating in freeze-thaw resistance after withstanding over 300 rapid freeze-thaw cycles, or the equivalent of 200 or more severe North East winters.
