Glass fibre-reinforced concrete (GRC) is a lightweight, strong and durable material, which is widely used for cladding panel, rain screen, tunnel wall covering manufacturing or other architectural structures.

GRC Product Ranges

CFS has considerable experience in supplying specialist lifting and fixing details for the GRC industry.Products are available for lifting, fixing support and restraining GRC. CFS is the dedicated construction partner for bigHead® who have the following dedicated range for GRC.

What are the benefits of bigHead® designs?

• The unique bigHead® design allows GRC panels to be as thin and light as possible with no additional material required for fixing the bigHead® “anchors”

• bigHead®’s are inserted into the GRC material during the manufacturing process, removing secondary fixing processes, saving assembly time and preventing on-site assembly mistakes

• bigHead®’s are discrete, being only visible from one side

• bigHead®’s are corrosion resistant, made of 316 grade stainless steel

• bigHead®’s withstand very high loads

• bigHead® design versatility maximises GRC design freedom without compromising strength or quality
