GFRC Tree Grates
Tree Grates Made from GFRC
One way to enhance the beauty of a downtown street, suburban neighborhood, or other commercial or residential district is to add tree grates in various sizes and shapes around the trees. Not only do these add a distinctive look, but they also help to protect the trees. While many are made in cast iron, Stromberg Architectural offers GFRC tree grates that provide the same beauty as cast iron but come with some incredible advantages over this traditional material.
Using Tree Grates
Tree grates have been in use for many years as a way to blend nature with the urban landscape. Allowing both people and trees to live together, these tree grates allow for pedestrians to walk near the trees while protecting the area where the tree is growing and offering additional drainage. The tree grates also provide the additional advantage of minimizing weeds and trash from accumulating around these tree areas.
Tree grates typically come in various sizes, shapes, and styles, allowing for a custom look for the particular area that they are being used in. They can even have a logo integrated into the tree grate design for the city or company where it is located.
The Benefits of Using GFRC for Tree Grates
Glass fiber reinforced concrete, known as GFRC, offers a number of advantages over traditional materials like cast iron. GFRC is a lightweight product, so it is easier to work with but does not compromise on strength or durability. In fact, GFRC tree grates have been made to withstand harsh climates and can even be installed under water without losing any of their integrity.
Since GFRC is such a versatile material, it can be made to look like just about anything, including precious metals or quarried stone. You will not have to worry about any common problems that often occur with materials like cast iron or quarried stone. GFRC does not crack, nor does it rust or become vulnerable to corrosion like other traditional grate materials.
