Fiber reinforced products or fiber reinforced polymers more commonly abbreviated and known as FRP<\/strong> is a\u00a0<\/span>composite material\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>comprised of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) and other materials such as lengths of glass fiber.<\/p>\n FRP has been utilized for decades within the civil, aerospace, and automotive industries for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios and rigidity.<\/p>\n FRP has crossed over into the construction industry in the form of fiber reinforced panels (FRP) beam profiles, studs, ceiling and wall panels.<\/strong><\/p>\n TUFF+ FRP is lightweight and durable material unlike traditional building materials in that it provides the perfect balance between cost-effectiveness, durability, and customization.<\/p>\n The benefits of FRP within the construction industry include:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FRP-strength.jpg” title_text=”FRP strength” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Wood rots. Steel rusts. FRP lasts.<\/strong> In short, fiberglass pultrusions give you a different way to solve your construction challenges \u2014 one that can reduce costs and improve performance in the long run. It is best to work with the properties of fiberglass reinforced plastic from the start of your construction project.<\/p>\n\n
Traditional building materials have their place. But for harsh, corrosive and maintenance free construction, TUFF+ fiber-composite reinforced polymer (FRP<\/strong>) is a smart choice.
Structural FRP has the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight. It won’t corrode, rot, is imperious to insect damage nor will it conduct electricity. It can be formed into countless FRP profiles to fit your requirements. And decades later when those other materials need to be replaced, it will still have plenty of life.<\/p>\n
