Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) Panel is a composite consisting of alpha gypsum cement and water, reinforced with glass fibers – an ideal choice as an economical, lightweight, and durable replacement for traditional plaster.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) Panel is a building panel product, made of calcined gypsum, plaster, reinforced with glass fibers, for Mass-scale building construction, was originally developed and used since 1990 in Australia. The panel, manufactured to a thickness of 124mm under carefully controlled conditions to a length of 12 m and height of 3m, contains cavities that may be unfilled, partially filled or fully filled with reinforced concrete as per structural requirement. Experimental studies and research in Australia, China and India have shown that GFRG panels, suitably filled with plain reinforced concrete possesses substantial strength to act not only as load bearing elements but also as shear wall, capable of resisting lateral loads due to earthquake and wind. GFRG panel can also be used advantageously as in-fills (nonload bearing) in combination with RCC framed columns and beams (conventional framed construction of multi-storey building) without any restriction on number of stories micro-beams and RCC screed (acting on T-beam) can be used as floor/ roof slab.
GFRG panel possesses high flexural strength, shearing strength, compressive strength, and flexibility. It has a very high level of resistance to fire, water, heat, corrosion, rot, and termites. Concrete filled with vertical reinforcement rods improves it’s vertical and lateral load capacities. GFRG made buildings are resistant to fire, earthquakes, and cyclones.

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG or GRG) is the most economical Formglas material and is used in a range of architectural applications such as ceilings, column covers, decorative wall panels, domes, bulkheads, light coves, and more.
Grade and Type- GFRG panel may be supplied in any of the following three grades :
1) Class 1- Water Resistant grade – panels that may be used for external walls, in wet areas and/or as floor and wall formwork for concrete filling; 2) Class 2 – General grade -- panels that may be used structurally or non-structurally in dry areas. These panels are generally unsuitable for use as wall or floor formwork;
3) Class 3 – Partition grade – panels that may only be used as nonstructural internal partition walls in dry areas only.
