GFRC Barrel Vaulting

A barrel vault is an architectural element formed by the extrusion of a single curve along a given distance.

Barrel vaulting can be seen in the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City and the Cathedral of Cortona in Tuscany, among others.

Glass fiber reinforced concrete is reinforced with glass instead of concrete, and is much lighter in weight, making it a better choice for your vaulted ceiling.

If your barrel vaulted ceiling needs renovation or restoration, Stromberg can use composites if replacement with the original material is not possible.
