Structural profiles, gratings and planks are resistant to UV rays, salt water and chemicals. In collaboration with selected suppliers, Fiberline has compiled a chemical durability list that indicates profile resistance capabilities in corrosive environments.
Low weight combined with great strength
Structures in fibreglass-reinforced plastics combine low weight and great strength. Low weight means low costs for transportation and assembly, smaller foundations and easier handling.
Thermal insulation properties
Fiberline structural profiles have good thermal properties and do not form heat bridges. (See technical data.) For example, these properties can be utilized to integrate the facade in the bearing structure of a building, making it visible both inside and outside.
Minimal maintenance and long service life
Structures in fibreglass-reinforced plastics have long service lives and are not affected by rain, salt or frost, requiring only cosmetic maintenance. Maintenance costs are therefore lower than costs for similar structures in traditional materials such as concrete, steel and wood.
Rapid machining and assembly
The material machines as easily and quickly as wood with the use of either special equipment or ordinary tools, the low weight making machining and assembly entirely uncomplicated. Fiberline has also developed brackets for joining Fiberline structural profiles.
