As a cost effective alternative to marble carving, glass fiber
reinforced concrete, or GFRC in abbreviation, can be used to carve almost
everything that can be carved in marble, simple or ornamental. Although GFRC
does not contain natural veining textures, which is its disadvantage comparing
to marble, its extremely light weight makes it an ideal choice when weight or
load bearing issue becomes an concern. In this aspect, the GFRC carving also
has clear advantage over cast stone. GFRC carving involves three steps.
Firstly, using clay to carve a model; secondly, creating a mold based on the
carved clay model; and finally, GFRC is casted in the mold to finalize the
carving. This "model mold casting" process makes mass production of GFRC
ornaments possible, especially when our affiliated factories have already had
many clay models of famous carvings available. Glass fiber
reinforce concrete carvings come in two basic colors: off white and cream beige.
However, all GFRC ornaments can be painted to the colors of your choice.
