Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum

(GFRG)

About the product

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum panels (GFRG panels) are ecofriendly gypsum panels of 12m x 3m dimensions made at a facility set up by FRBL in Kochi. These panels are designed so as to be used as load-bearing as well as partition components of a framed structure. (For our readers to know, most G+1 and G+2 structures are a combination of load-bearing and framed structure.)

Why use these panels?

Better look and finish

These panels are used for a structure as both a load- bearing component as well as partition walls as mentioned earlier. Being made in a factory, they provide superior finish to the walls which is nearly impossible to achive otherwise. 

Perfectly suited for our climate

The gypsum used in these panels are treated before manufacturing of panels to suit moist and humid conditions prevalent here. Structures already built using these panels are proof that these panels are very well suited for our climate.

Eco-friendly

Being made of residual gypsum, these panels are one of the most eco-friendly building product available. Construction using this panel also considerably reduces the use of other construction materials.

Fast construction

  • Just to give our readers an idea, in most cases, the wall erection of an entire floor can be completed in 1 or 2 day. Panel erection is a super-fast process.

  • There is no need of plastering which saves a big chunk of time.

  • Even finishing work like painting is quicker because these panels are already of a very superior finish.

Economical

These walls are less than half the thickness of a conventional brick wall. (12.4 cm as compared to 25 cm)

    

     Advantages being

  • You get more carpet area for the same plinth area (around 7 to 10% more). This means that you save around the same percentage of money.

  • The overall weight of the structure is much lesser.

  • Columns are distributed within the panel cavity. So you get concrete walls instead of brick walls.

Less internal temperature

These panels are used for a structure as both a load- bearing component as well as partition walls as mentioned earlier. Being made in a factory, they provide superior finish to the walls which is nearly impossible to achive otherwise. 

It is true that GFRG products will need elaborate drawings and great precision during work. So please feel free to contact us for any assistance or support. As GFRG builders we will always look forward to help our clients who choose the eco-friendly way of construction.
