GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced
Cement)
- Appearance of carved stone
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor
use
- Moderately heavy
- Generally less expensive than
Fiberstone
Stone Yard, Inc. manufactures GFRC products from a precise mixture of high-grade cement reinforced with glass fiber and other additives for enhanced binding and strength. The resulting material has the appearance of stone but lighter weight and greater durability.
GFRC, like natural stone, should be protected against damage by abrasion and hard impacts. Surface hairline cracks may develop during natural expansion and contraction due to environmental changes in temperature and moisture. These natural features will in no way compromise the structural integrity of the product or detract from its stone appearance.
FiberStone
- Indistinguishable in appearance
from GFRC
- Well suited to high traffic
areas
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor
use
- Lighter weight than GFRC
Stone Yard, Inc. manufactures Fiberstone products using a proprietary process that combines glass fiber, polyester resins and aggregate materials, resulting in stone-finished products that have a fraction of the weight of actual cast stone.
Because Fiberstone products resist impact damage, they are ideal for commercial settings and high-access areas. |
