Compare GFRC With Traditional Concrete

  • GFRC uses glass fibers for reinforcement–not steel–so GFRC columns, entryways, and other elements will not rust
  • GFRC uses a thin, hollow construction, and weighs far less than traditional precast
  • The fibers in GFRC have a higher tensile strength than steel
  • High quality GFRC has a typical compressive strength of 6,000 to 8,000 psi

Michigan GFRC Projects

Michigan GFRC Projects by Stromberg

GFRC Michigan: D.A. Blodgett Building, Grand Rapids, Michigan

From the towering skyscrapers of Detroit–some of America’s most recognized and elaborately designed–to the traditional brick facades of the historic buildings of Ann Arbor, Michigan is a state with a character and identity all its own. The one thing several of the state’s most gorgeous structures have in common is that they were constructed, embellished, or renovated with GFRC.

Michigan GFRC Projects

Over the past three decades, Stromberg Architectural has successfully completed more than 1,600 GFRC projects, several for GFRC customers located in Michigan.

  • Grand Rapids GFRC: D.A. Blodgett Building, Grand Rapids, Michigan
    – During this GFRC Grand Rapids project, Stromberg extensively renovated this historic building that was once an orphanage. Faced with the monumental task of making the building look not only attractive but exactly the same as it did on opening day, our team turned to versatile GFRC and TerraGlas. We painstakingly crafted GFRC columns, GFRC planters, GFRC balustrade, and GFRC cornice to complete the project, and nobody was any prouder than us on the building’s second “opening day.”
  • Grandville GFRC: Cinemark Theaters, Grandville, MI
  • Detroit GFRC: Greektown Casino, Detroit, Michigan
  • Lansing GFRC: Lexington Lansing Hotel, Lansing, MI
