GRC concrete (also known as GFRC fiber-concrete or fibre-concrete) is an architectural decorative composite enriched with alkali-resistant fiber glass. GRC abbreviation stands for the first letters of English expression “Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete”. GRC is one of the most advanced materials currently used in the construction industry. The differences between GRC and the traditional concrete relate to the components and manufacturing technology. The basic ingredients of GRC are, as in the […]
It is worth noting at the beginning that the construction work in the winter is not recommended, but it does not mean that it is completely impossible. In winter it is possible to perform most of the work at home, it is only important that the temperature inside was positive, although in the case of some building materials adapted to the low temperatures, this is not a problem. In the[…..]
It is difficult to determine the applications of GRC concrete, because architects are finding more and more applications for it. The most obvious applications in which GRC composite seems to be irreplaceable, are all kinds of facade projects. It does not matter whether these are facades on single-family or multi-family houses or residential buildings – GRC works really well in the above locations. Fiber-concrete works excellently in large-scale facades of[…..]
Arched walls are known to man almost since the beginning of human civilization. Once built mainly in public buildings or homes of prominent persons, today they are more and more popular in the broadly defined housing. This is inter alia due to the ease in their putting, thanks to, inter alia, availability of construction materials, which are perfect for this type of construction. In the case of external walls, cellular[…..]
