Fibreglass composite is a non-electrically conductive material that makes it particularly suitable for applications near traction current, cables, and distributions boards along railways.
Our GFRP gratings and profiles are especially suitable for applications along railways such as platforms, stairs, and walkways. GFRP is electrically insulating and thus minimises the complexity of earthing during electrical fittings and repairing. This makes the profiles a future-proof choice, where costs for both construction and future inspections can be significantly reduced.
Our fibreglass solutions are incredibly easy to work with because they are uncomplicated to assemble and have a low weight that makes them easy to install. The GFRP material also has the advantage that it is corrosion-free and incredibly strong, which is why it is not damaged by the impact of heavy traffic nearby or changing weather conditions. Consequently, giving your constructions a long lifespan with minimal maintenance - an important long-term financial benefit.
Furthermore, all our gratings have a non-slip surface, which makes them the optimal solution for railway stairs and walkways, ensuring the rail staff safe access during service.
With both aBG, the German building approval, and EBA, Fiberline Building Profiles has the whole package of certification to build strong applications in the railway sector. This makes it easier for you to work with fibreglass because they can buy all their certified GFRP profiles in one place and get the entire solution approved for their rail applications.
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.
