Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is concrete that is reinforced with glass fibres. These fibres, unlike steel reinforcement in traditional concrete, are dispersed throughout the concrete. This improves the mechanical strength of concrete making pieces less likely to crack.
GRC can be made at thicknesses not possible with traditional wet-cast concrete. Because GRC can be made thinner this allows larger pieces with fewer joints to be cast off site and installed in a similar fashion to stone bench tops.
Whilst we do offer both traditional wet-cast concrete and GRC, we highly recommend using GRC for the majority of products due to its superior strength, durability and repeatability in finish.
All of the concrete we manufacture is individually hand-poured, batched and mixed in-house at MASS HQ which eliminates the risks associated with site poured concrete.
