I have worked extensivley with grancrete in exterior installations. My background is in stucco systems. What I have found is the product doesn’t fully live up to it’s claimes. we have had problems with cracking, color fadeing and delamination. I feel there needs to be more true testing in different enviorments (not a lab). We have also encountered problems with Grancrete standing behind the product the way we feel they should. I have a 13,000 sq. ft. project that is half finished and is stalled until spring in hopes that Grancrete can figure things out. Even with the problems my self and the homeowners hope to be able to continue to work with Grancrete but if we can’t get answers form them on why we are haveing the problems we will be forced to go back to synthetic or conventional stucco. we have been consulting grancrete before and during the project to apply the material the way they suggest

This whole setup (composition of product name, .net designation for web site, insufficient information to make any objective assessment, idea of “micro fabrication”, unresponsiveness to e-mails, etc.) has so much in common with another product with similar attractive properties – GigaCrete, that it is becoming more and more difficult to see this as anything else than a stock pumping scheme.
If I am wrong, and I wish I were, please GranCrete and/or GigaCrete folks do something to convince us that whatever you promote is not vaporware.

Me too! Got tons of questions re: grancrete. I’m interested in building a whole house, including the hard slab floor w/radiant heat. Is it strong enough? Can I make it stronger, like for a garage floor?

Would like to chat with anyone with some answers.

Do you have chemical make up of grancrete?

Characterized as a environmentally safe, biochemical habitable, ceramic tough, quick dry, earthquake, hurricane and extreme weather resistant along with superior load bearing structural capacity has all the ingredients for incredible design capabilities and credible cost saving advantages.
However they have a WEB site you can?t get to, everyone has questions and no one replies with positive results of demonstrations. No one seems to have a clue of its existence and looking at all the hype it seems to be another Internet hoax. I just cannot let the possibility be brushed aside because after all it has been kicking around for a while in all the home building and scientific magazines so there must be some merit to the stories. I suspect all the SIP and IFC manufactures along with the lumber giants and whatever labor unions they threaten are beating them to death with all the legal technicalities they can muster up.

If anyone has already had a building experience with this product I would love it if you would contact me. I have a host of questions ranging from application to costing. I have entertained the thought of using this product but need a little more information before ordering the amount of product I will need to make my project happen. Thanks for your help guys.

I’d like to be informed about the physical characteristics of the product. Namely, application thickness, strength, shear values, muodulous of elasticity, etc.

Just to echo the earlier responses you have had; I would be interested in franchise opportunities for this product and I can forsee many ways for it to be adapted and used in everyday construction. Please forward me any info on product pre release or availablity. Thanks

Hi I would like to try building a house in NH with styrofoam and gancrete. However, it would be helpful to have plans and sources of materials. Also, any info on franchises . Thanks

way isn’t being used in the hurricane damage area… I suspect because it’s up against traditional building materials that have a hold on the mindset of those who make these decisions.

I too would like to build with this. But I can not find the information I need here or at sales office for Grancrete. They just want to sell the stuff and are not prepared to answer basic questions. What’s it’s setup time… can you use standard shotcrete machiner… Can I color the mix… Does it need an additives to smooth the flow rate. What size aggregate?
Does it stick to steel?
