Fibreglass products have proven track record in applications in and around saltwater. This is the reason why the harbour walkway and platforms increasingly are upgraded with corrosion-resistant composite profiles and gratings. The previous solution was of steel with wooden planks, steel corroded and the wooden plank rotted due to the aggressive saltwater constituting a safety risk for the visitors of the harbour. As fibreglass profiles and gratings require no maintenance and do not corrode, they are the obvious choice for these types of surroundings. Steps and walkways in fibreglass provide a safe slip-resistant and comfortable surface. They are very light and strong and can be machined without the use of expensive specialist equipment.

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.
