Fiberglass bars are a clear example of the progress that technology is experiencing. It is, without a doubt, the perfect alternative to the design of resilient, durable and low-maintenance structures.

Also called GFPT-Glass Fiver Reinforced Polymer have different properties, a fact that must be kept in mind when developing their design. They are composed of continuous longitudinal glass fibers, which are embedded in a resin matrix. Said product can be made up of two different materials: vinyl or epoxy ester.

Pultration is the method with which these products are made, a process widely used in this sector.

Fiberglass bars, what do they provide to users?

  • Thanks to its lightness and low weight, since it weighs 8 times less than steel, up to 90% of transportation can be saved.
  • Greater energy efficiency, since the cost of heating the building is much lower than with steel reinforcement.
  • The durability of this material is superior to that of others. It can last up to 100 years, thanks to its mechanical resistance and the corrosion of the materials.
  • The installation will be much easier for the user.
  • It will provide a wide variety of applications, whether in infrastructure or buildings. It is a product that is usually used for the construction of bridges.
  • They contain a low thermal conductivity, therefore, it is a material that does not conduct heat or cold. This property is especially required for the construction of certain infrastructures and for buildings on specific sites.
  • It has a lot of resistance to frost, since at very low temperatures it does not lose its properties.
  • Humidity in fiberglass bars also does not affect their properties.
  • They resist high loads applied to the structure and facilitate the handling of the material for users who are dedicated to construction.
  • They provide an attractive design for users. Therefore, thanks to its advantageous properties and aesthetics, it is an increasingly used product!
