The Manufacturing Process of GRC: From Concept to Reality
GRC, or Glassfiber Reinforced Concrete , is a strong and flexible building material today. Many like to use it to make complicated patterns and functional structures because it's strong, easy to shape, and light. From coming up with the idea to putting it all together, here's how to make GRC: Ideas And Plans There is an idea behind every GRC product. Architects and designers work together to make detailed plans that are both helpful and nice to look at. A lot of the time, CAD software is used to make very detailed computer models that are then used to help make the real thing. Getting The Mold Ready Once the plan is done, a mold is made. If the job is hard enough, models can be made of metal, wood, or silicone. These molds set the shape and roughness of the GRC product, ensuring it is correct and regular. Putting It On The Mold The ready-mixed GRC can be sprayed or laid down by hand to put it on the mold. A spray gun is used to spread the liquid out evenly when you spray. You...
