Compare GRP with wood and steel

Combining advantages

CE MARKING

Our products are CE certified according to the EN13706 1-3 standard.

LOW WEIGHT

Fiberglass 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.

Fiberglass 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.

CORROSION-FREE

Composite 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.

WEATHER RESISTANT

Fiberglass 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.

ELECTRICAL INSULATION

Fiberglass 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.

EASY TO WORK WITH

The 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.

THERMALLY INSULATING

Fiberline'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.

SUSTAINABLE

Fiberline's products are manufactured energy-efficiently through pultrusion. The low weight relative to strength and long lifespan make them a cost- and energy-efficient alternative. After use, the profiles can be recycled, as they can easily be disassembled and reassembled into new constructions. Cradle to Cradle processes are under development.
