Composite Materials We Use​

​

We specialize in advanced composite materials designed for architectural, structural, and decorative applications. Each material offers unique advantages in strength, weight, durability, and design flexibility.

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC)

What Is GRC?

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is a high-performance composite material made from Portland cement, fine aggregates, water, alkali-resistant glass fibers, and specialized additives. When manufactured under controlled conditions using precise mix proportions, GRC delivers exceptional strength while remaining significantly lighter than traditional concrete.

A typical GRC mix includes:

  • Portland cement and fine sand

  • Approximately 5% glass fiber by weight

  • Water-to-cement ratio of about 0.33

  • 5% acrylic co-polymer additive by volume

This combination results in outstanding flexural, tensile, and impact strength, provided the material is properly mixed, sprayed, compacted, and cured.

Advantages of GRC

  • Lightweight: 70–90% lighter than solid concrete

  • High Strength: Excellent flexural and tensile performance

  • Durable: Resistant to weathering, corrosion, and extreme temperatures

  • Disaster Resistant: Proven performance against hurricanes, floods, fires, and earthquakes

  • Eco-Friendly: Reduced material usage and lower transportation impact

  • Aesthetic Flexibility: Unlimited shapes, textures, and colors

Applications

GRC is most commonly used for exterior cladding, façades, decorative panels, and architectural restoration. Its lightweight nature reduces structural loads, speeds up installation, and lowers overall construction costs—while offering unmatched design freedom.

​​​​​Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP / FRP / Fiberglass)

What Is GRP?

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), also known as Fiberglass or FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic), is one of the world’s most versatile composite materials. Its architectural potential was famously revealed in 1967 during the attempted demolition of Disneyland’s House of the Future, which proved nearly indestructible.

Since then, GRP has become widely adopted across construction, transportation, marine, and aerospace industries.

Why Choose GRP?

  • Extremely Strong: Up to seven times the flexural strength of steel

  • Lightweight: High strength-to-weight ratio reduces structural and shipping costs

  • Seamless Construction: Sections can be bonded to form watertight assemblies

  • Highly Moldable: Ideal for complex shapes, textures, and intricate details

  • Low Maintenance: Will not rust, corrode, or require cathodic protection

  • Disaster Resistant: Performs exceptionally well in extreme weather conditions

  • Superior Aesthetics: Can replicate bronze, wood, stone, iron, and more

Applications

GRP is widely used for:

  • Architectural domes, vaults, minarets, and decorative cladding

  • Parking structures and façades

  • Boat hulls, automotive components, and aircraft parts

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GRG / GFRG)

What Is GRG?

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GRG) is a lightweight, high-strength interior building material that serves as a modern alternative to traditional plasterwork. It is composed of ultra-fine alpha gypsum, Portland cement, sand, and glass fiber reinforcement.

GRG is pre-molded, cost-effective, and capable of producing highly detailed architectural elements with consistent quality.

Note: GRG is intended for interior use only and is not suitable for exterior environments.

Benefits of GRG

  • Lightweight & Strong: Requires little to no additional structural support

  • Cost-Effective: Lower cost than traditional plaster or carved materials

  • Fire Resistant: 100% non-combustible and flame resistant

  • Smooth Finish: Ideal base for paint and decorative coatings

  • Crack & Shrink Resistant: Long-lasting and dimensionally stable

  • Fast Installation: Prefabricated components reduce on-site labor

Applications

GRG is commonly used for:

  • Domes and ceilings

  • Columns and cornices

  • Moldings and decorative interior features

​​​Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC)

What Is UHPC?

Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), also known as Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC), represents the latest advancement in concrete technology. It is an advanced composite material designed to overcome the limitations of conventional concrete.

Typical UHPC compositions include:

  • Portland cement

  • Fine sand and silica fume

  • High-range water-reducing admixtures (HRWR)

  • Fibers (usually steel)

  • Minimal water content

UHPC often eliminates the need for traditional steel reinforcement and can be virtually self-placing.

Advantages of UHPC

  • Ultra-High Strength:

    • Compressive strength up to 180 MPa

    • 2–3× stronger than conventional concrete

    • Flexural strength 2–6× higher

  • Thinner, Lighter Sections: Reduced dead load and material use

  • Exceptional Surface Quality: Nearly impermeable and highly refined finishes

  • High Ductility & Volume Stability

  • Lower Lifecycle Costs: Reduced mold, labor, maintenance, and schedule costs

  • Precision Molding: Replicates forms with extreme accuracy

Applications

UHPC is widely used in:

  • Bridges, beams, and decks

  • Wall panels (solid and perforated)

  • Urban furniture and architectural elements

  • Louvers, stairs, floor tiles, and marine structures

Its superior durability makes UHPC ideal for harsh environments and innovative architectural solutions.
