Maine GFRC Projects

Maine Area GFRC Projects by Stromberg

Maine Area GFRC: 100 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts

Famous for its New England charm, vast areas of unspoiled forest, and expansive coastlines, Maine is one of the least populous regions in the entire country. Maine’s architecture also distinguishes it from other parts of America. Here you can still find nineteenth century brownstone mansions, cobblestone streets, and buildings with impressive brick facades. Maine is also the site of more recent residential and retail construction.

Stromberg’s Maine GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) projects have included working on both historical and modern buildings. Below is just a short list of clients and commissions in the Maine area.

Maine GFRC Services: New Construction and Renovation

Our range of Maine GFRC services will likely allow us to meet your needs, whether you are interested in new construction or restoration for a lavish home, prestigious university, hospital, or retail space. Just some of the architectural elements we can craft using GFRC include balustrade, benches, columns, and cladding panels. Fiberglass reinforced concrete is also a valuable material for historic restorations since it can be manufactured to match materials such as terra cotta, precast concrete, and even brick. As a result, more of the original structure can often be preserved, which is a top priority whenever a building of historic value is undergoing renovations.

Advantages of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)

  • The material used for Maine GFRC projects is freeze-thaw resistant–it can withstand those harsh New England winters better than conventional concrete.
  • Fiberglass reinforced concrete weighs up to 95% less than conventional concrete, which allows for efficient transport and fast installation.
  • GFRC can be produced in a staggering variety of colors, shapes, and textures.

Stromberg GFRC offers service to all areas in Maine, including:

Portland, Lewiston, Bangor, South Portland, Auburn, Brunswick, Biddeford, Sanford, Augusta, Scarborough, and others.

Massachusetts GFRC Projects

Massachusetts Area GFRC Projects by Stromberg

Nicknamed the Bay State, Massachusetts is comprised of the huge metropolis of Boston, dozens of smaller cities, and hundreds of towns. This large New England state is home to many buildings that exemplify numerous well-known architectural styles. Several Georgian and Federal homes in Salem have been transformed into museums and national historic sites, and many buildings in Boston constructed centuries ago are still in use today.

Massachusetts GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) Projects

Stromberg Architectural has completed a variety of Massachusetts GFRC projects over the years. Major commissions have included renovating a multi-million dollar condominium in one of the state’s premier real estate areas and fabricating architectural elements for prestigious educational institutions. A small selection of our Massachusetts GFRC projects is presented below.

Massachusetts GFRC Services

Stromberg can manufacture dozens of stylish and durable architectural elements to complete your Massachusetts GFRC project. Our glass fiber reinforced concrete elements are suitable for many types of structures, including universities, homes, commercial buildings, government buildings, hospitality establishments, hospitals, churches, and retail stores. Styles include Modern, Colonial, Georgian, Beaux Arts, Art Deco, and Federal.

If you are overseeing a restoration of one of the countless historic buildings in Massachusetts, glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) could be just the material you need. Stromberg GFRC can be manufactured to closely match the cut limestone used to construct many buildings in the Boston area, the famous Quincy granite, as well as the old architectural terra cotta used on many Boston buildings. By creating a near seamless match to the original material using GFRC, we can often preserve a greater portion of the original structure and eliminate the need for complete replacement.

Stromberg GFRC serves all of Massachusetts, including:

Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Lowell, Cambridge, Salem, Plymouth, Berkshires, Allston, Lexington, Waltham, North Shore, Brockton, New Bedford, Fall River, Lynn, Quincy, Newton, Brighton, Needham, and more.
