GFRG – A sustainable yet durable option for buildings! Low cost, reduced labour, reduced time to construct, increased sustainability & increased space.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum is a growing alternative for conventional walling system. Also called Rapid Walls, these panels are made out of phosphor-gypsum, a by product from Phosphoric acid plants of Fertilizer units. Its rigid structure enables these panels to be used as an ideal alternative for bricks.
- Load bearing & lightweight
- These panels are 124 mm thick .so less built up area as compared to 240 mm thick bricks
- High resistance to natural disasters like earthquakes, cyclones, fire etc.
- Significant reduction in use of cement, sand, steel and water
- Reduced manpower requirement
- Highly affordable yet durable alternative
- Sustainable and ecofriendly

We have designed and successfully completed a GFRG house.
We have incorporated the best practices followed by of other GFRG constructions.
-
It’s fully constructed with GFRG panels. Panels are made by FACT a GOVT of India Co.
- We did our 1st project in Tamil Nadu in Madurai. Its G+1 House fully made of GFRG.
- Its cost effective and enable us for a quicker finish.
- It took us 32 days from the first wall to 1st floor roofing.
- It require no plastering of walls, cement and sand is less in these type of construction.
- We can directly go for painting.
- The material is certified and approved by Building Material council of India.
