Advanced composite
materials are a favorite among architects and building designers over other standard
building products because of the following qualities: ability to meet strict
building codes, high strength to weight ratio, durability, design flexibility and low
maintenance requirements. Fiber
reinforced polyester composites are the ideal construction medium for both internal and
external architectural applications.
The open contact molding process generally
employed for these applications gives freedom to the designer to practically choose any
form and shape that is suitable to the architect's theme of a structure.
The possibility of integrating shapes and
contours and imparting any combination of surface textures and colors to the products
enables the architect to transform his creative thoughts into reality at an affordable
cost.
The light weight integrated design of FRP panels
makes them simple to install with reduced equipment requirements and faster installation
schedules.
Composites have been successfully utilized in
the building and construction industry for over thirty years both, as structural members
and as non-structural panels.
Detailed engineering and design experience is a
prerequisite to the achievement of the structural properties of the final product.
Key Advantages
- Lightness in weight
- Very high strength to weight ratio
- Excellent weather resistance
Optional Enhanced Properties
- Good flame retardant properties
- Low smoke emissions
- High thermal Insulation
- Semi-translucent

Typical Application for FRP
Composite Panels include:
- Building claddings and facings
- Fascia renovation
- External building insulation
- Long-span roofing structures
- Structural frames
- Internal decorative paneling
- Partitions and facings
- Suspended ceilings
- Domes and cupolas

Compared to Concrete, FRP
External and Internal Panels
- practically maintenance free
- require no further painting or decoration
at site
- completely corrosion free
- free from environmental stress cracking
- fully resistant to extreme weather and UV light
- reduce the load of HVAC systems due to extremely
low thermal conductivity
