It consists of an integrated group of high-performance cement compounds reinforced with glass fibers, or what is known as fiberglass, and is mostly made of white cement along with fiber and glass fibers that have the ability to resist alkali and many weather conditions
‘One of the most important properties of GRC material is that it is resistant to friction and is not affected by water, moisture and salts, and because it contains glass fibers, it is not affected by citrus or alkalis, and it is heat, sound and electricity insulator as well.
This material was invented to be an alternative to traditional materials such as stone and marble, and was also processed to become lightweight, quick to install and highly flexible.
