The Design Possibilities of Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG)

GFRG is an innovative material that seamlessly unites form and function in interior applications, offering nearly limitless options to bring any design vision to life. This course delves into the applications and benefits of GFRG in design, construction, and historical restoration, highlighting its custom-fabrication capabilities and advantages over traditional materials. Participants will discover how GFRG enhances sustainability and efficiency in building projects and how it may contribute toward meeting LEED v5 goals.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Explain the properties and performance characteristics of GFRG that support sustainable building strategies, including their nontoxic composition, fire resistance, and durability.
  • Discuss how GFRG can reduce the overall environmental impact of a structure throughout its service life and how it may contribute toward LEED v5 certification goals.
  • Compare GFRG to traditional plaster, stone, and conventional concrete systems and explain how GFRG is a lighter, stronger, and more durable alternative.
  • Identify design opportunities, technical requirements, installation methods, and finishing considerations for custom GFRG architectural fabrications.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
