Minnesota GFRC Projects

Minnesota Area GFRC Projects: Little Pine Lake, Perham, Minnesota

A signature “jewel box” by Louis Sullivan, French Renaissance cathedrals, Art Deco style skyscrapers, Beaux Arts facades, Richardson Romanesque structures, and modern trendy storefronts are just some of the architectural marvels you’ll find in Minnesota. If you’re overseeing a GFRC Minnesota project that involves restoring a National Historic Landmark or designing an exquisite entryway for a five-star hotel, Stromberg’s knowledge of the styles mentioned above and our custom design process can benefit you.

Featured GFRC Minnesota Projects

One of Stromberg’s signature GFRC Minnesota projects was our work on an opulent private residence called Little Pine Lake located in Perham. During this Midwest GFRC project, we created GFRC archways and a GFRC staircase capital to grace the interior of the home. Other elements created by Stromberg included four elegant fireplaces (one framed with twisted columns), a paneled archway, custom balustrade, and sills.

Major Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Advantages

It’s clear from a GFRC vs. limestone comparison that GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) is the better choice in many situations. Consider the following:

The weights of GFRC elements are much lower compared to products made from limestone
GFRC is non-porous and suitable for use in high-moisture climates and regions that receive acid rain
GFRC is cast in molds, so fine details and textures can be created and/or flawlessly reproduced
GFRC shipping costs are often comparatively low because of the material’s lightweight properties

Kansas GFRC Projects

Kansas Area GFRC Projects: St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish, Leawood, Kansas

Kansas, also known as the “Sunflower State,” is named after a Native American tribe that once inhabited the Midwest area. The name of the tribe–Kansa–is often translated as “people of the wind,” which is fitting considering the state’s often harsh weather conditions and the frequency of its severe storms. Stromberg’s Kansas GFRC can help you create a new building or beautify an existing one with a material that is built to last.

Featured Kansas GFRC Projects

Lawrence GFRC: University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS
Leawood GFRC: St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish, Leawood, KS

We Have All The Elements And Products Needed For a Successful Kansas GFRC Project! Choose From:

GFRC cladding panels
GFRC brackets
GFRC fireplaces
GFRC cornice
And dozens of other products!

Why Use GFRC For Your Kansas Construction or Renovation Project?

Designers, masons, architects, and contractors in every American state look for materials that are versatile and offer aesthetic appeal whenever they undertake a new project. Professionals in Kansas, however, also need to consider the high frequency of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, as well as the freeze-thaw cycles that occur every year.

Because of the harsh weather here, durability is a major factor in the material selection process. Stromberg’s GFRC has withstood category 5 hurricanes, and has been lab tested for wind speeds exceeding 240 miles per hour. Our Kansas GFRC represents an ideal combination of design flexibility, beauty, and strength, making it a perfect choice for an array of applications.

Our Kansas GFRC Services Are Available to You Wherever You Are Located in Kansas:

Wichita GFRC, Overland Park GFRC, Kansas City gfrc, Topeka GFRC, Olathe GFRC, Lawrence GFRC, Shawnee GFRC, Salina GFRC, Manhattan GFRC, Hutchinson GFRC, and more.

The Stromberg Architectural website has plenty of GFRC pictures illustrating both the incredible versatility and visual appeal of the advanced composite known as GFRC. You’ll also find other GFRC resources, such as specifications and a request form for GFRC samples.
