Optimizing GRG (Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum) Applications: Packaging and Delivery Guidelines
Introduction to GRG Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG or GRG) is an advanced material known for its strength, durability, and versatility. Made by reinforcing high-strength alpha gypsum with glass fibers, GRG can be molded into nearly any shape or size, making it ideal for interior or sheltered areas. As a non-combustible material with excellent flame spread and smoke development ratings (per ASTM E-84), GRG is lighter and stronger than traditional plaster castings, weighing only 2-3 pounds per square foot (10-15 kg/m²). These characteristics, combined with its use of post-consumer recycled materials and minimized framing requirements, make GRG a preferred choice for sustainable construction projects. Proper handling, packaging, and delivery are essential to preserving the quality and functionality of GRG products. Packaging Effective packaging ensures that GRG products maintain their integrity during storage and transportation. The following practices are recommended: Product Placement: Finished GRG items should be stored with the longer side
