GRC Board
BUILDING MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONintermediate
Definition
Glass Reinforced Cement board — a thin cladding panel of Portland cement reinforced with alkali-resistant glass fibres, used for exterior and interior wall cladding, fascia, and soffit applications. GRC Board is lightweight, weather-resistant, and can be precast in complex profiles, making it popular in Indonesian contemporary architecture for its clean, durable finish.
Example
A modern Jakarta office building uses GRC Board panels for its exterior cladding — precast in a light grey matrix with integrated drainage channels — creating a monolithic, seamless appearance that weathers uniformly and requires minimal maintenance.
