Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete

GFRC is concrete that is reinforced with glass fibers instead of steel, and is a composite of cement, glass fibers, aggregates and polymers.  The glass fibers give it great strength and there’s no need for a protective covering of concrete. Because it’s cast in thin sections of around ½’ to ¾”, it weighs a fraction of what traditional precast concrete weighs. These qualities make GFRC the perfect choice for your cartouche.
