Stromberg GRG is a composite of high-strength gypsum and glass fibers, which can be factory molded into virtually any size or shape. • DesignFreedom.StrombergGRGcanbemadeinalmostanyshapeyoucan imagine. • Lightweight.Inmostcasestheycanbeliftedandinstalledbyoneortwo people. • 100%non-combustible.StrombergGRGismadefrommineralsandwillnot burn. • Stable.Madefromhighstrengthgypsumcement,StrombergGRGis dimensionally stable under normal conditions. • World’slargestselection.Nooneoffersyoumoreselectionoroptionsin GRG. • AnupgradetostandardGRG. • HigherimpactstrengththannormalGRG. • A“dry”applicationandfasterinstallationthantraditionalornamental plaster. • Containsnopaperorcellulosethatcanserveasfoodformold.
Stromberg GRG elements are designed and tested to offer high performance with a wide range of possibilities in shape, detail and finish. The material is a glass fiber reinforcing in a high strength gypsum matrix. Proprietary polymers in the system improve performance and increase impact resistance. Since items are custom made, the Stromberg GRG is molded in the thickness most appropriate for the application. Thickness of Stromberg GRG varies between 1/8”and3/16”(3to5mm).Edgesareslightlythickerandmaybereinforcedforfasteners.
