Benefits of GFRC Columns

GFRC is quickly becoming the most popular choice for architectural columns because it offers several advantages over competing column material. Some of these advantages include:

  • Weatherproof – GFRC columns, as an outdoor material, need to withstand the elements. GFRC provides that resistance, as it is waterproof, fireproof, and extremely durable. Concrete also acts as a thermal regulator, which means these column covers are capable of protecting the material inside of the column and extending the lifespan of the property.
  • Design Freedom – GFRC pours clean into molds and dries consistent each and every time. Because of the flexibility of the material, it is possible to create a custom GFRC column design that matches your property, as well as ensure that all columns are identical in both shape and size. GFRC is also paint-grade, so additional customization is possible.
  • Lightweight – GFRC is a fraction of the weight of regular concrete. This reduces installation costs, while also reducing shipping and maintenance costs as well. GFRC is also one of the few lightweight materials that does not sacrifice any durability, as this reinforced material can withstand considerable pressure before experiencing damage.
  • Eco-friendly – GFRC columns use less concrete, making it a less energy intensive material. We also use recycled products whenever possible, and GFRC is made up of only renewable ingredients, allowing your design to reduce its environmental footprint compared to wet-cast concrete products.
  • Low Maintenance – The products are manufactured to require minimal structural support and don’t need any form of intensive maintenance procedures. They also don’t strain the foundation and are easy to clean.
  • Economical – GFRC is much more cost effective than other materials, while also allowing for considerable customization. We have standardized options available as well for lower cost projects.
