Our Surfcrete Products
GFRC It is a composite comprised of Portland cement, fine aggregate, water, acrylic co-polymer, alkali resistant glass fiber reinforcement and additives.
In many international markets, it is referred to as GFRC – Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete.
The glass fiber reinforcement results in a product with much higher flexural and tensile strengths than normal concrete, allowing its use in thin-wall casting applications.
Finishes You Can Create With GFRC And ECC
Spray Up / SCC pourable Finish
GFRC is a lightweight, durable material that can be cast into nearly unlimited shapes, colours and textures. There are two basic processes used to fabricate GFRC – The Spray-Up process and SCC Pourable process.
This process allows for a cream finish which is a soft and smooth look or a salt and pepper finish which is lightly polished once the concrete has been cast to show the small amount of sand throughout the product.
Pressed
Concrete is pressed into forms, allowing endless color options. The consistency of the mix and the force used in pressing influence the size of the voids, making it easy to achieve excellent results.
Terrazzo / Full Exposure
Using either troweled/ SCC product we can supply you with a custom terrazzo style finish .
Terrazzo or Full Exposure is Lightly Ground/Salt and Pepper, but more of the surface is removed to expose the sand fully, or to expose decorative aggregates.
This is the process to use if you want to expose glass, marble or other decorative aggregates.
Troweled
Our troweled finish allows the texture and craftsmanship to really show through.
Poured in situ or right side up, our troweled burnish finish has a stronger composite to GFRC and perfect for indoor or outdoor use.
