Fibreglass Pultruded Sections
We are one of the leading companies in composite
technology in Europe, specialising in the production
of pultruded profiles.
Pultruded composite sections are manufactured
by combining various resins with pure fibre
reinforcement. They are formed and cured in
a continuous process creating a product of extraordinary
strength and resilience. The resultant profile
offers a combination of benefits and mechanical
properties exceeding those of metal.
Fibreglass Grating Ltd. has 35 years experience
in the Fibreglass composite industry and is
the largest UK pultruded profile stockist in
the UK.
Benefits of Pultrusion
The Fibreglass Pultrusion process provides
exceptional strength, toughness and consistency.
Pultrusions offer a number of advantages over
traditional materials such as steel, aluminium
and timber and their use is increasing across
a wide range of applications and industries.
The almost infinite variety of possible profiles
allows a high degree of design freedom. Tailored
properties such as strength, stiffness, weight
and colour can be engineered by product design
at the early stages of development.
Exceptional Strength
On a weight to weight basis, pultrusions are
stronger than structural steel. By varying the
type and orientation of the reinforcements,
various mechanical properties can be obtained
and tensile strengths in excess of 1000 MPa
are achievable. Considerable design freedom
can be gained by the capability of adding extra
strength in highly stressed areas. The excellent
impact strength can reduce damage potential
caused by accidental collisions.
Substantial Weight Advantage Over Metal
Weighing up to 80% less than steel and 30%
less than aluminium, Dura Profile offers equivalent
performance for considerably less weight. This
results in major weight savings and lower installed
costs due to more economical transportation,
handling and on site positioning.
The high strength to weight ratio has particular
relevance for many applications including walkways,
sub-floor platforms, bridges, aerospace components,
structural applications, cooling towers, waste
water treatment and oil and gas installations.
