Found on the data sheet of a paint product to be used inside only.

plâtre renforcé de verre

Plaster Glass

Description:- Glass reinforced gypsum plaster cast into smooth sheets generally with either a silicone or tallow based release agents which can contribute to adhesion failure of applied coatings. Some additives used as set retarders can solubilise iron present which can result in a stained appearance after painting. Must be sealed with SOLVER Line 4129 Wall Sealer.

neutral B D Finch : The fact that the refs for this seem to come overwhelmingly from Australia makes me think that this could have started out as an Australian brand name.

plâtre armé de fibres de verre

"Plâtre armé de fibres de verre" or "plâtre renforcé de fibres de verre", both are used. Fibro-plâtre is a much more common term, but vague as it can refer to plaster reinforced with any kind of fibre (cellulose, for example) not only glass. You'll also see plasterglass referred to in English and French as GRG (glass reinforced gypsum).

neutral B D Finch : Not all staff uses glass fibre. Your ref. seems to confirm my suspicion that this is an antipodean brand name.
