GRC is used for exterior building facade panels and as architectural precast concrete. Despite being used for exterior building facades, GRC has been used for many decades as ornamental concrete. It has been used to create domes, statues, planters, and fountains; however, it is much more expensive than conventional concrete.
GRC has also been used as an alternative for similar materials like fiber cement siding and cement boards. GRC products reduce loadings on buildings leading to significant savings in superstructure and foundations. GRC is excellent for reproduction and renovation.
