How to make GFRG (glass Fiber reinforced gypsum) Ceiling & Wall moldings

GFRG  Ceiling & Wall moldings

It is believed that the technology for creating GFRG  Ceiling & Wall moldings

was first developed in the United States or Europe in the mid-to-late 20th century.

GFRG  Ceiling & Wall moldings is a composite material that is made by combining glass fibers and gypsum, which is a naturally occurring mineral. The glass fibers provide strength and durability, while the gypsum provides flexibility and fire resistance.

Its use started to gain popularity in the late 20th century, as architects and builders began to recognize the benefits of GFRG as a building material. Today, GFRG  Ceiling & Wall moldings are used in a variety of applications, including false ceilings, partitions, and wall moldings. It is popular in many countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

As Pakistan's leading expert on glass fiber-reinforced gypsum,  Mr. Abdul Rasheed Director of Murad Interiors is proud to offer detailed information on GFRG specifications. 

These specifications are crucial in determining the suitability and performance of GFRG for a particular project. GFRG is a composite material made from glass fibers and gypsum. 

It is suitable for all internal applications and does not absorb moisture, making it ideal for high-humidity environments. 

GFRG has been tested and classified as P (Class 0) for fire propagation, with a final fire propagation index of 0.9. It also produces no smoke and has been classified as Class 1 for surface spread of flame and non-combustible per BS476. 

The material also has a thermal conductivity (K) value of no greater than 0.375 W/m deg. C, and a density of 1660 kg/m³. 

It has a low thermal coefficient of expansion, and an ultimate tensile strength of not less than Bending Strength. 

GFRG is also anti-static and not affected by ultraviolet light, and contains no asbestos. In terms of material characteristics, GFRG is made from a continuous strand mat laid down in multiple layers to provide thickness and strength. 

High-quality alpha hemihydrate casting plaster with a low expansion coefficient is used, as well as glass fiber tissue for a smooth finish. 

Patent polymers are also used to improve tensile strength and reduce permeability. 

Clean water is used in the right proportion to ensure maximum workability and maintain the optimum water/plaster ratio. 

In terms of workmanship,  GFRG  Ceiling & Wall moldings are manufactured to a consistent mix with all components accurately gauged, batched, or weighed. Components are then cured for 12 hours in a dehumidifying oven at a constant temperature and undergo individual inspection to ensure quality control.

 At Murad Interiors, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality  GFRG  Ceiling & Wall moldings products and expert guidance on the use and specifications of GFRG. Contact us today to learn more about how  GFRG  Ceiling & Wall moldings can be used in your next architectural project.

There are several GFRG projects in Pakistan, a famous wedding hall in Lahore by Renoir Zafar group with its classical ornamental design, and another mesmerizing project with a Moroccan theme Rabat banquet hall owned by Time and taste Lahore, and many more GFRG projects in Pakistan.
