Fibreglass is a plastic based composite consisting of dry glass fibres and polyester. Normally referred to as fibreglass or GRP. In combination this result in a very strong and rigid material, perfect for construction purposes! Fibreglass is a cost-effective alternative to traditional building materials since it combines several advantages, e.g. it has strength as steel but weighs less, is corrosion-resistant, and has a good sustainability profile.
