GRG
Glass Reinforced Gypsum (GRG) uses a combination of plaster, glass fibre matting/fibreglass chopped strands, and metal/timber, Typically harder, stronger plasters are used so that larger items can be constructed without the excessive weight of traditional fibrous plasterwork.
GRG (Glass fibre Reinforced Gypsum) Panels are prefabricated with high-density gypsum, free of asbestos and resin, reinforced with stand glass fibre or continuous filament glass fibre material.
GRG panels are thin, lightweight with much higher strength than ‘traditional ’ gypsum panels. They offer better performance under point loads, impact loads, weathering, and thermally induced movements. GRG elements can generally be produced as much longer elements, lighter in weight, reinforced with built-in ribs and stiffeners, and with reduced fixing points.
This leads to more efficient utilization of backspace for services (electrical / ventilation etc) GRG can simulate all types of carvings and details produced in ‘traditional’ gypsum, and can coat/paint systems.
Benefits of usage:
- High strength and surface hardness
- Excellent reproduction of fine detail
- Low expansion ensures dimensional accuracy avoiding cracking and breakage
- Whiteness
