  • 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

New Jersey GFRC Projects

New Jersey GFRC Projects by Stromberg

New Jersey Area GFRC: Schenectady City Hall, Schenectady, NY

New Jersey is a state that is difficult to describe in just a few words because it straddles several worlds. Some sections of New Jersey are considered part of the New York metropolitan area, while others unofficially belong to Philadelphia. Then there are areas such as the Jersey Shore that have their own one-of-a-kind character. The architecture of New Jersey reflects the disparate nature of the state. The Princeton campus has sprawling stone buildings that exemplify the Gothic style, while Modern and Post-Modern works dominate the architectural scene in other regions of New Jersey.

The Rhode Island State Capitol, with its multiple domes, grand architectural columns, keystones, and arched windows, is truly a sight to behold. The state’s historic homes feature a variety of styles, including Shingle Style, Beaux Arts, and Italianate.

Vermont GFRC Projects

Vermont Area GFRC Projects by Stromberg

Vermont Area GFRC: Pierce Laboratory, New Haven, Connecticut

The New England state of Vermont is one of the smallest in terms of size and population. In addition to agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing, rock quarrying is a major contributor to Vermont’s economy. There are rich sources of both granite and marble in the state, and no other region in the entire country produces more slate than Vermont. Not surprisingly, the abundance of these natural resources has influenced the architecture of Vermont. Churches, memorials, courthouses, and post offices in Vermont are partially or entirely constructed from the famous “Vermont marble” and “Barre granite.”

Vermont Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Projects

Our list of New England area GFRC projects is lengthy and varied. Stromberg’s GFRC clients and commissions include universities, healthcare facilities, and retail establishments, just to name a few. One of our Vermont GFRC projects was the work we completed for the East Mountain View Office Building in South Burlington, which is part of Chittenden County.

Vermont GFRC Services

Stromberg can manufacture a variety of Vermont GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) products for our clients, from delicate embellishments to elements that will serve as focal points for church and retail establishment exteriors and interiors. Choose from:

  • GFRC entryways
  • GFRC architectural columns
  • GFRC fountains and pools
  • GFRC keystones
  • GFRC sculptures
  • And much more!

If you are in the process of beautifying or restoring a stone structure that has been damaged over the years and is beginning to show its age, our Vermont GFRC professionals can replicate the appearance and texture of granite, limestone, and other types of quarried stone. Using this lightweight material, we can make repairs that are virtually unnoticeable. This may help you save a greater portion of the original structure and often complete the restoration in less time.

GFRC Advantages

  • GFRC is significantly lighter than terra cotta, granite, and many other traditional building materials
  • Vermont GFRC is strong and weather-resistant, and is suitable for use in high-salt, high-moisture climates
  • GFRC contains no steel and will not rust like pre-cast concrete

New Hampshire Area GFRC Projects by Stromberg

New Hampshire Area GFRC: North Shore College, Danvers, Massachusetts

The motto of this fascinating part of New England is “live free or die,” and its impressive record of self-sufficiency has earned it the nickname “the granite state.” New Hampshire also has a rich architectural history that extends back to when the first settlers appeared in the 17th century. Buildings constructed in New Hampshire from this time onward (some of which are still standing) boasted an eclectic selection of architectural styles, including Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, Country Vernacular, and Colonial Revival. The creations of several famous architects, including the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright, can be found in New Hampshire.
