Referred to as Fibre C, (Glassfibre concrete) one of the key benefits of this unique GRC product is its ability to be shaped whilst maintaining a thickness of only 13 mm and a weight of 30 kg/m².

Each lightweight concrete flat panel can be formed in U-shapes or C-shapes for vertical fins or spandrel panels.

Thanks to the two layers of glass fibre mesh embedded in the concrete, the panels are very strong and impact resistant, they are classified as Class 1, Negligible Risk when tested for impact performance.

The Rieder formparts are easier to install and simpler to fix than traditional GRC or pre-cast, offering an advantage in replacing pre-cast concrete pieces with Fibre C formparts.

Due to the lightweight structure and the use of pozzolans as a substitute for cement, Rieder GRC produces significantly less embodied carbon than other GRC products and pre-cast concrete.

The advantages in using a thin lightweight concrete panel are obvious for load bearing and site lifting, and the strength of the GRC panels is not impaired.

These concrete façade panels offer a wide range of possibilities for printing on the surface of the panel, irradiating designs, cutting out ornaments or lettering or incorporating a relief-like surface.

Rieder formparts can be installed to compliment other Rieder GRC elements such as flat panels, to ensure a seamless transition between flat panels and formed parts.

The Rieder formparts can be supplied in the same colours and textures as flat panels. Ensuring a uniform look across the building facade.
