Glassfibre reinforced concrete.
Bespoke applications
Glassfibre reinforced concrete, regularly referred to as GRC, is a durable non-combustible building material suitable for facade application. A lightweight alternative to traditional or wet cast stone, GRC allows building specifiers to save time and money across a project with accelerated installation and ease of handling.
Highly versatile in its appearance each GRC project is bespoke, individually tailored moulds can create any thing from simple profiles through to complex details and seamless curves. Design flexibility doesn’t stop there at Chatsworth we have a range of different colours and textured finishes to further customize the final look and feel of your project.
