Creatively Composolite

The classic 1980’s TV character “MacGuyver” was notable for his innovative use of tools and materials to solve problems in ways you would not expect. While the problems solved may be less dramatic, FRP can be used in similarly innovative applications. For example, FRP grating – originally designed for flooring – has been used extensively as a visual screen. Redco™ COMPOSOLITE® can be used creatively as well. Originally designed as a structural building material, COMPOSOLITE® building panels have been used in bridges, cooling towers and even restaurants. One application that has proven valuable is as tank covers at wastewater treatment plants.

Traditionally these are made of aluminum; however, aluminum (typically) does not have the strength to handle foot traffic. FRP is not only lighter than aluminum but is strong enough to handle that foot traffic. They are also hollow so accessories such as handles can be placed inside the panel. Redco™ COMPOSOLITE® is corrosion-resistant, low in thermal and electrical conductivity and easy to install. For more information, contact us.
