Polished GRC Cladding, Color : Silver Grey for Buildings

GRC Cladding (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete) is a popular architectural material used to cover the exterior of buildings. It is essentially a high-tech version of concrete that uses glass fibers for reinforcement instead of steel.  

Here is a breakdown of what it is, why it is used, and how it works.

1. What is it?

Composition: It is a mixture of cement, fine sand, water, and alkali-resistant (AR) glass fibers.  

The "Secret Sauce": The glass fibers dispersed throughout the mix act like invisible muscle, giving the concrete high tensile strength. This allows panels to be made much thinner and lighter than traditional concrete
