ARMOURCRETE GLASSFIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE or GRC, is a precast cladding material for internal and external applications that is revolutionizing the building façade industry. Increasingly used around the world, GRC is a combination of strength and flexibility providing all the benefits of traditional and contemporary materials while eliminating major drawbacks.

ARMOURCRETE GRC IS A PRECAST COMPOSITE BUILDING MATERIAL consisting of Portland cement, fine sand, admixture and reinforced by alkali resistant glassfibres (ARG) strands manufactured under strict quality control conditions.
It combines high compressive strength of cement mortar with the significantly increased flexural tensile and impact strengths imparted by the fibre reinforcement distributed at random throughout the matrix

LIGHTWEIGHT
Armourcrete GRC products normally have a skin thickness of 10mm to 15mm for spray-up Panels.. The results is a low component weight, typically one-fifth of precast concrete. The benefits are obviously as follows:-

  • Reduced loading on structures, leading to substantial reduction in structural and foundation costs.
  • Substantial savings on transportation, cost, on-site storage and of handling and erection.
  • Reduced costs on other Builder’s work on formwork, external plastering, etc.

SUPERB ENVIRONMENTAL PROPERTIES

  • Armourcrete GRC is a non-asbestos and tested as non-combustible “Class O” rated material
  • Extremely resistant to ultra-degradation and weatherability
  • Possessed excellent heat and thermal properties
  • Superb noise reduction properties as noise attenuation panels

MOULDABILITY FOR FULL AESTHETIC EXPRESSION TO EXTERNAL FACADE

Armourcrete GRC enables the faithful reproduction of most architectural detailing, features and profiles.

Virtually any surface detail, however complex its shape, can be replicated at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods, and it can be produced to match the appearance of stone, terra cotta and even metal panels, any number of finishes are possible; painted, sand blasted, exposed aggregate, tile, as well as reconstructed or natural stone.

MOULDABLE AND LIGHTWEIGHT, Armourcrete GRC gives architects and designers the freedom to create forms they would otherwise be unable to realize by reason of high costs of skills and materials. It is the ideal medium for design solutions that would be impossible through the use of conventional techniques.

Armourcrete GRC is a non-combustible and a natural thermal insulator composed of environmental friendly materials. Extremely durable yet aesthetically pleasing, Armourcrete GRC enhances the quality of any structure, be it a simple home or a multi-storey building.
