Introduction to GFRC facade installation methods
Proper design and execution of the façade have special importance in the construction of the building. Lack of principled and correct implementation will lead to the destruction of the façade after a while due to heat and cold cycles or wind or etc). In this article, we will review the various methods of implementing the GFRC facade.
Types of GFRC facade installation methods:
Installation and execution of GRC facade GFRC will be different according to the dimensions, design, and installation conditions (in terms of access). In general, depending on the size and type of pieces, it is mainly done dry by joints and bolts with hidden or welded joints, or it is performed in a combined method with a scoop and slurry which is like installing the stone facade.
About installation method of GFRC facade (GRC) of Sorin company:
Production of GRC pieces is customized according to the design and dimensions desired by the customer. As a result, its implementation varies accordingly in different ways. This company typically installs pieces with dimensions of about 0.25 to 2 square meters by the installation system with bolts and angles and pieces with larger dimensions by lamination or chassis attached to the piece or making the installation connection from the GRC product itself.
How is the GFRC facade installation process:
After performing structural calculations and approval by the employer, metal chassis will be performed to eliminate sloppiness, and the pieces according to the installation details approved by the parties and pre-installed in the pieces, are attached to the chassis by opening joints (bolts, etc.). When designing these connections, the ability to adjust the pieces will be considered. It should be noted that after installation, the standard location of bolts and brackets is not visible.
