FIBERGLASS BENEFITS
Thanks to their advantages composite profiles are increasingly used instead of aluminium, steel, wood and PVC.
The benefits of composite GRP materials include: lightweight, intrinsic resistance to chemicals and corrosion, and electrical and thermal insulation capacity.
The lightweight combined to the high mechanical resistance makes fiberglass GRP material the unique solution for many fields.

DUREVOLI
Non arrugginiscono mai e durano nel tempo anche all'esterno
MAINTENANCE FREE
Insulating characteristics allows installation and use with low maintenance costs.
ELECTRICAL INSULATING
High dielectric capacity.
STABLE
Good performing in high temperature fluctuations without presenting significant deformation.
FIRE RESISTANT
Production of profiles with excellent properties of fire resistance and extremely low toxic smoke emission.
LIGHT
Four times lighter than steel and one and half times than aluminium.
RADAR TRANSPARENCY
Transparent to electromagnetic waves and do not generate interference.
EASY TO ASSEMBLE
Easy to assemble and adaptable if using woodworking machines.
ATMOSPHERIC RESISTANCE
High resistance to rain, UV radiation and critic temperature conditions.
