GRC
Glass-Fiber reinforced concrete (GRC) pots are known for its high-strength composite material made from cement mortar reinforced with bundled strands of glass fiber filaments. GRC tends to be specified for more challenging environments, including public realm, often as a lighter and more design-flexible alternative to precast concrete.
Advantages:
- Light weight (typically 75-80% lighter than precast concrete)
- Highly Durable
- Fire resistant & water proof.
FRP
Fiber glass reinforced plastic (FRP) is similar to GRC in essential components, except that the binders in fiber glass planters is polyester or epoxy resin, rather than cement. FRP tends to be specified for residential and light commercial applications, and for interior landscaping, particularly where detailed molding or a refined standard of finish is desired.
Advantages:
- FRP planters are lighter than GRC planters.
- Corrosion and UV resistant
- Best for indoor with its Luxurious Finishing and smooth texture
