Vermont Area GFRC: Pierce Laboratory, New Haven, Connecticut

The New England state of Vermont is one of the smallest in terms of size and population. In addition to agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing, rock quarrying is a major contributor to Vermont’s economy. There are rich sources of both granite and marble in the state, and no other region in the entire country produces more slate than Vermont. Not surprisingly, the abundance of these natural resources has influenced the architecture of Vermont. Churches, memorials, courthouses, and post offices in Vermont are partially or entirely constructed from the famous “Vermont marble” and “Barre granite.”

Vermont Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Projects

Our list of New England area GFRC projects is lengthy and varied. Stromberg’s GFRC clients and commissions include universities, healthcare facilities, and retail establishments, just to name a few. One of our Vermont GFRC projects was the work we completed for the East Mountain View Office Building in South Burlington, which is part of Chittenden County.

Vermont GFRC Services

Stromberg can manufacture a variety of Vermont GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) products for our clients, from delicate embellishments to elements that will serve as focal points for church and retail establishment exteriors and interiors. Choose from:

• And much more!

If you are in the process of beautifying or restoring a stone structure that has been damaged over the years and is beginning to show its age, our Vermont GFRC professionals can replicate the appearance and texture of granite, limestone, and other types of quarried stone. Using this lightweight material, we can make repairs that are virtually unnoticeable. This may help you save a greater portion of the original structure and often complete the restoration in less time.

GFRC Advantages

• GFRC is significantly lighter than terra cotta, granite, and many other traditional building materials
• Vermont GFRC is strong and weather-resistant, and is suitable for use in high-salt, high-moisture climates
• GFRC contains no steel and will not rust like pre-cast concrete

Stromberg GFRC serves all Vermont areas, including:

Burlington, Essex, Rutland, Colchester, South Burlington, Bennington, Brattleboro, Hartford, Milton, Barre, and others.
