Glass Reinforced Panels
Glass reinforced concrete (GRC) cladding panels are manufactured using glass reinforced concrete, a cement based composite material with alkali-resistant fibres that are randomly dispersed throughout the product. Because the fibres add flexural, tensile and impact strength, the result is a strong yet lightweight architectural material.
