GRP and GRC: Two Materials… Two Different Philosophies
Although GRP and GRC are widely used in facades and architectural elements, the difference between them goes beyond composition—it also extends to how they perform within a project.
At Takween_Industry, GRP and GRC are not treated as competing options, but as two solutions, each with its appropriate application.
Differences in Composition and Properties
GRP
GRP relies on glass fibers combined with resins, giving it high lightweight properties, manufacturing flexibility, and excellent resistance to moisture and chemicals.
GRC
GRC is based on glass fiber–reinforced concrete, providing higher rigidity and better resistance to impact and harsh climatic conditions, along with an architectural appearance closer to traditional concrete.

When Is GRP the Most Suitable Choice?
GRP is preferred in cases such as:
- Projects where weight reduction is a key factor
- Coastal or industrial environments with high humidity
- Complex architectural elements that require manufacturing flexibility
- Projects aiming for minimal long-term maintenance
Here, GRP is applied within #Takween_Industry as a smart engineering solution that balances performance and cost.
When Is GRC the Better Choice?
GRC shines in:
- Exterior facades exposed to sun and wind
- Projects requiring a strong architectural appearance
- Large governmental and commercial buildings
- Elements that need long-term rigidity and stability
In these cases, #Takween_Industry relies on GRC as both a structural and architectural solution.
Comparison from an Execution Perspective
The real difference is not only in the material but also in the method of manufacturing and installation. At Takween, we determine:
- Panel thickness
- Mold type
- Fixing system
- Method of connection to the structure
Whether the project uses GRP or GRC, execution quality is the decisive factor in the material’s success.
GRP and GRC within a Unified System
In complex projects, choosing between GRP and GRC is not a standalone decision—it is part of a system that may also include materials such as UHPC and GRC. This integration enables Takween to deliver balanced engineering solutions rather than off-the-shelf options.
