Fiberline's fibreglass profiles are produced using an energy-optimised process that takes the environment into consideration. In addition, the material's excellent durability means that very few maintenance resources are required. The materials can be re-used when they are no longer needed, for instance in cement production.
Our GRP profiles have unrivalled durability and need little maintenance. This means you will have a very limited need for additional paint, chemicals or machinery throughout the long lifetime of your profiles.
Producing a bridge structure using traditional construction materials instead of fibreglass requires twice as much energy. This makes GRP profiles a sustainable alternative for the construction of the future.
Here at Fiberline, we feel it is important to take responsibility and do the right thing for the environment. We therefore take pains to use resources efficiently so that we can safeguard the environment. Our modern factory is set up and configured to help us combine energy-efficient production with a good working environment. Our profiles are manufactured using a continuous process known as pultrusion. In pultrusion, evaporation is restricted to a closed tool, and the process used to harden the plastic material actually generates heat itself, which results in low energy consumption.
Cradle to Cradle processes are under development.
Our products are CE certified according to the EN13706 1-3 standard.
Read moreFiberglass enables lightweight and robust constructions, making installation faster. Although the material is comparable to steel, the specific weight of Fiberglass is only a quarter of steel.
Read moreFiberglass is an impressively strong material, able to compete with steel, aluminum, and wood. Composite profiles exhibit moderate stiffness, meaning they match the weight of aluminum, constitute only 20% of the weight of concrete, and weigh just 40% of a comparable steel construction.
Read moreComposite materials are generally very durable, with only a few exceptions. They resist a variety of aggressive liquids and environments, resulting in long lifespan and minimal need for maintenance.
Read moreFiberglass is UV-resistant and can withstand temperatures between -40 and +80 degrees Celsius without deterioration of its properties. Additionally, it tolerates seawater and other atmospheric influences.
Read moreFiberglass profiles are electrically insulating. They are suitable for use in connection with all electrical constructions, such as along railway tracks, power plant installations, etc., as they are suitable for both low and medium voltage.
Read moreThe processing of fiberglass profiles is significantly easier than for metals such as steel, and just as efficient as for wood. This makes it easy to handle solutions with our profiles on site.
Read moreFiberline's fiberglass profiles have a significantly higher thermal insulating capacity compared to steel and aluminum. The thermal conductivity coefficient of fiberglass is 0.3 W/mK, resulting in energy-efficient finished products compared to both aluminum, which is about 200 W/mK, and steel, which is about 50 W/mK.
