This product is made of GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Beton), a high-quality composite material for indoor and outdoor use.
What is GFRC?
GFRC is a modern variant of concrete in which glass fibers are incorporated into the cement mortar.
This creates a material that is significantly lighter than conventional Beton, but at the same time offers more
strength, higher fracture toughness and better weather resistance.
Typical for GFRC are small pores or fine color nuances that arise during production and make each
piece naturally unique.
The ELEMENTI technology
ELEMENTI uses a high-speed spraying process(spray-up) for the GFRC.
The cement mortar and glass fibers are fully bonded together, creating a particularly dense structure
. The top layer is applied evenly using a spray gun, so that the surface can be kept thinner
and the fiber-reinforced base layer reinforced – a decisive factor for stability
and durability.
In addition, the ELEMENTI-GFRC formula contains high-temperature resistant materials that are significantly more expensive than
conventional cement. These ensure excellent heat resistance, weather resistance and stability –
even with intensive outdoor use. ELEMENTI also goes beyond industry standards and tests the
products with extreme burning and stress tests to guarantee the highest quality.
Care instructions for GFRC
General information
- Clean the product regularly to ensure safe use and extend its service life.
- White concrete furniture has a layer of water-based paint on the surface. To prevent this layer from ageing prematurely, we recommend using the furniture indoors or under cover.
Cleaning the surface
- Wipe up spills (e.g. coffee, juice, wine) immediately so that they do not soak into the surface.
- Then dry the surface with a clean, dry cloth.
- For basic cleaning, mix a mild detergent with warm water.
- Use a soft, clean cloth or sponge to remove dirt and stains.
- Wipe with clean water and dry thoroughly to avoid water stains.
- Regular cleaning extends the service life.
Important warnings
- Do not use oil-based or polishing cleaning agents.
- Do not use coarse brushes, abrasive sponges or sharp objects.
- Do not place food directly on the surface – use plates or coasters.
- Do not place hot pots, pans or glasses directly on top to avoid discoloration or marks in the sealant.
- Do not slide heavy objects over the surface to avoid scratches.
Protection & storage
- Cover the furniture with a protective cover when not in use.
- Store the product indoors in winter.
- Avoid extremely low temperatures, as these can lead to cracks.
Care with sealant
- Treat the surface with a water-based sealant approximately every six months.
- Make sure that the surface is clean and dust-free.
- Apply the sealant evenly with a soft cloth and wipe off any excess after it has dried.
