Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) – Lightweight Strength and Sculptural Freedom

Material Definition

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC or GFRC) is a high-performance composite made from cement, fine aggregates, water, admixtures and alkali-resistant glass fibres.
Stronger and lighter than traditional concrete, GFRC delivers excellent durability, design flexibility and weather resistance, making it ideal for outdoor furniture, landscape elements and architectural features.

Strength and Innovation

At Windward, we use GFRC to create elegant outdoor pieces that unite performance and beauty. Glass fibres reinforce the concrete from within, reducing the need for heavy steel frames and allowing thinner yet stronger profiles. This opens the door to sculptural forms with precise edges, soft curves and refined surfaces – a hallmark of our work as an outdoor furniture designer, manufacturer and exporter.

Outdoor Performance

GFRC is engineered to thrive in demanding outdoor environments. It resists cracking, shrinkage and water penetration, even in tropical or coastal climates such as those found across Indonesia. The material stands up to temperature changes, UV exposure and weather extremes while maintaining its structural integrity and surface appearance season after season. For contract furniture and high-traffic spaces, this reliability translates into lower maintenance and longer product life.

Design Versatility

From minimal, monolithic tables to organic, stone-like forms, GFRC can be cast into a wide variety of shapes and finishes. Smooth polished surfaces, textured effects or natural contours are all possible. Each Windward piece is hand-finished to match the design intent, allowing bespoke solutions for residential, hospitality and large-scale B2B projects. GFRC’s ability to pair visually with teak, aluminium and fabrics makes it a powerful ingredient in cohesive outdoor collections.

B2B Focus and Global Reach

Windward specialises in B2B solutions, supplying GFRC outdoor furniture and elements to architects, interior designers, developers and retailers worldwide.
Manufactured in Central Java, Indonesia, our GFRC components are produced under strict quality control and tailored to international project requirements.
