GLASS REINFORCED CEMENT

LET THE LINE OF OUR VISION BRING YOU HOME

Introduction

TEMCOPPAD is one of the leading manufacturers of Glass Reinforced Concrete products in the region.

Our continuing strive for quality and market leader-ship with high degree of emphasis on research, de-velopment and procurement of quality materials from Europe, Asia, and the U.S.A. has helped main-tain our strong position. In1987, we commenced Glass Reinforced Cement (GRC) with a humble staff of 120 people where today we employ over 500 skilled labors.

Our main assets are, our labours along with highly qualified engineers ensuring a value engineered finished product.

About Us

Speed House and since its inception had a vision to be a turnkey solution provider to the construc-tion industry.

After launching several companies manufactur-ing different products, Speed House established “TEMCOPPAD” a state of the art facility special-ized in the design, manufacturing and installation of GRC (Glass Reinforced Concrete).

Today, TEMCOPPAD is one of the leading suppli-ers of GRC in the region and employs over 800 skilled & unskilled labours along with a profes-sional and dedicated Management and Engineer-ing team guiding them through the way.

In addition to the U.A.E. market, we have man-aged to export our products to Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Qatar, Iraq, Sweden, Oman, Libya, Azer-baijan and other countries around the region.

Glassfibre Reinforced Cement (GRC)

Glassfibre Reinforced Cement ( GRC ) is a compos-ite material consisting of a mortar of hydraulic ce-ment and fine aggregate reinforced with alkali re-sistant glassfibre. The GRC may contain additional filler materials, pozzolanic materials and admixtures. The fibre contents are typically 3% to 5% by weight defending on product application and production method employed. The properties of GRC depend on a wide range of variables. These include the method of manufacturing, mix formulation, fibre product type, length and orientation, add mixtures used etc. A GRC material may therefore be tailored to meet the particular requirements of a specific ap-plication. GRC Materials have a aggregate-cement ratio of up to 1:1, incorporating glass fibre and made by spray and premix processes. These materi-als have been widely used for many years and their properties and characteristic have been studied ex-tensively.

GRC is a family of composite materials that combine the high compressive strength properties of cement mortars with significantly increased impact, flexural and tensile strengths imparted by the fibre rein-

GRC products are safe, have a good chemical resistance and will not rot or corrode. GRC is made of organic materials and will not burn, has neg-ligible smoke emission and offers good fire resistance. GRC is normally of relatively thin cross sections, giving a low component weight which allows savings in handling, storage, transfortation, and installation com-pared with traditional concrete products.

PRODUCTS

GRC can be designed into many different shapes and forms.

GRC can be pigmented into a wide range of colors.

GRC can have a smooth or stone, acid washed finish.

GRC is usually used for decoration, however, it can be used for thermal insulation or waterproofing.

The innate properties of GRC makes it an ideal material for:

• Window surrounds• Porticos• Cornices• String courses• Decorative features• Sunscreens• Domes• Landscaping

The light weight of Glass Reinforced Cement (GRC) compared to many other cladding material is a factor well worth taking into ac-count in the initial design calculations.

GRC Advantages

1. Lightweight structure, reduces transport and installation

costs

2. Excellent Edge and Corner Strength

3. Improved Surface Details and Quality of Finish

4. Easy to mould into complex shapes.

5. Maintenance Free: GRC is an inert material, unaffected

by salt, freeze/thaw cycles, or corrosive atmosphere. Unlike

concrete, as it has no steel components, it is not weakened

or cracked by steel corrosion and can live without mainte-

nance for many years.

6. Ideal for Restoration Works: All the above characteris-

tics point to GRC as the ideal material for restoration of

old buildings, facades and decorative features, as GRC can

replicate exactly, or improve upon, any original feature.

7. Environment friendly: GRC neither uses nor emits any

volatile material, and is a low energy product, therefore

contributes to a safe and clean environment.
