GRC vs. Regular Concrete: Why Should You Pick Glass Reinforced Concrete?
Concrete is a beneficial and essential building material that can be used in many ways. It is used worldwide and is the basis for most of what we stand on today. Anyone can make concrete by mixing cement, water, and aggregates. But for more significant and longer-lasting projects, you need to look further away to more complex mixtures like Glass Reinforced Concrete. Reinforcement made of glass fibre For GRC to work, Alkali-Resistant Glass Fiber is its most important part. Regular concrete only relies on the bonding power of the cementitious paste and aggregates. GRC, on the other hand, uses a strategic blend of AR Glass Fibres to strengthen its structure. AR Glass Fibers give GRC an unmatched level of structural strength; good quality GRC can be expected to have a ductile lifetime of at least 60–80 years in UK weathering circumstances. Properties of Lightweight Even though it has the same density as concrete, Glass Fibre fiber-reinforced concrete is up to 80% lighter than regular conc...
