What is the density range of GRC material? What are its advantages over natural stone?

The density of GRC material typically ranges from 1.8-2.0g/cm³, about two-thirds that of natural stone (2.6-2.8g/cm³), and this lightweight property brings significant application advantages. Qinglong Group, through optimized mix ratios and processes, controls the density within the optimal range while ensuring strength, providing lightweight solutions for projects.

The lightweight advantage is obvious. For the same volume, GRC weighs 30%-40% less than stone, greatly reducing structural loads. In a super high-rise project in Shenzhen, using GRC curtain walls instead of a stone solution reduced the load by 5,000 tons and lowered foundation costs by 20%. Easy installation improves construction efficiency and shortens the construction period.

The performance advantages are outstanding. The flexural strength of GRC is 2-3 times that of stone, allowing for thinner cross-sections. It has good toughness and excellent seismic performance. Through customized design, complex shapes that are difficult to achieve with stone can be realized. These advantages make GRC an ideal choice for modern architecture.
