Stromberg GRG is a composite of high-strength gypsum and glass fibers, which can be factory molded into virtually any size or shape. • Design Freedom. Stromberg GRG can be made in almost any shape you can imagine. • Lightweight. In most cases they can be lifted and installed by one or two people. • 100% non-combustible. Stromberg GRG is made from minerals and will not burn. • Stable. Made from high strength gypsum cement, Stromberg GRG is dimensionally stable under normal conditions. • World’s largest selection. No one offers you more selection or options in GRG. • An upgrade to standard GRG. • Higher impact strength than normal GRG. • A “dry” application and faster installation than traditional ornamental plaster. • Contains no paper or cellulose that can serve as food for mold. 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” and 3/16” (3 to 5 mm). Edges are slightly thicker and may be reinforced for fasteners. Stromberg GRG weighs just 2 to 3 pounds per square foot. (10 to 15 kg/square meter) Stromberg GRG is a non-combustible mineral composite. It will not burn. Typical Uses Include: • Columns and Column Covers • Domes • Decorative Ceiling • Complex details, curves or shapes • Sculpture • Moldings • Light Coves Most projects are custom. Comprehensive shop drawings show shapes and dimensions and indicate layout and fastening methods.
