What is GFRC and why use it for fountains ?

GFRC is a composite material that combines the strength and durability of concrete with the flexibility and resilience of glass fibers. This fusion results in a product that is not only robust but also versatile in design applications. The glass fibers are embedded within the concrete matrix, creating a material that is lighter, more resistant to cracking, and more easily formed into complex shapes than traditional concrete. www.architecture.org

One of the most significant benefits of GFRC is its reduced weight compared to traditional concrete. GFRC weighs about one-fifth of what a real rock weighs, which means you don’t need heavy equipment or a concrete support foundation to install. This characteristic facilitates easier transportation and installation, making it ideal for various settings, including rooftops and terraces.

GFRC fountains are engineered to withstand various environmental conditions. The material is resistant to cracking, corrosion, and weather-related damages, ensuring longevity and sustained aesthetic appeal. GFRC is more durable than conventional concrete. The use of glass fibers instead of steel for reinforcement makes it rust-proof and excellent for outdoor applications. www.gfrc-products.com

The manufacturing process of GFRC allows for a wide array of shapes, sizes, and finishes. Whether aiming for a sleek, modern aesthetic or a more traditional look, GFRC fountains can be customized to complement any design vision. Additionally, they can be finished with UV-resistant colors, ensuring that their vibrant appearance endures over time.

GFRC fountains require minimal upkeep. Their resistance to environmental pollutants and biological growth reduces the need for frequent cleaning or treatments, allowing businesses and homeowners to maintain a pristine appearance with less effort. GFRC is highly moisture resistant.
