Introduction to GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete): If you aren’t yet familiar with glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) you should be. GFRC is a specialized form of concrete with many applications. It can be effectively used to create façade wall panels, fireplace surrounds, vanity tops and concrete countertops due to its unique properties and tensile strength.
This specification may be used for development of an office master specification or the specification for a particular project using glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels. PCI-certified precasters need to make designers aware of the latest thinking on GFRC panels. Item Detail - MNL128.
TAKTL® Architectural Ultra High Performance Concrete: Strength + Stability Comparison: TAKTL with Other Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete GFRC panels are typically manufactured with a traditional concrete reinforced heavily with fibers and/or mesh.
GFRC Wall Panels: Our concrete wall panels are cast using a Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) matrix,a high performance concrete that allows the panels to be made lighter, stronger, thinner and larger then conventional concrete. Our GFRC wall panels are typically made at 3/4" - 1" thick.
GFRG: A new concept of material was brought from England to the United States and Canada in 1977: a product now known as Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum, also referred to as Fiberglass Reinforced Gypsum (FRG) and Glass Reinforced Gypsum (GRG). This included gypsum plaster reinforced with glass fibers to produce a thin,lightweight, yet strong material.
Synstone glass fibre concrete is superior in strength and strength retention to any reinforced cement composite currently available. The panels have unique and customized appearances that come in many colours. From subtle to bold textures, these finishes meet the most sophisticated requirements.

New Orleans, LA – Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels are being installed on the new Hard Rock in New Orleans. Installation continues through the summer. With each new panel, the building looks more like its renderings. Facade installation is scheduled to complete in winter 2020. GFRC Archives.
