When Is FRP Right For Your Application?

When Is FRP Right For Your Application?

Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) outperforms traditional structural materials (wood and metal) in a wide variety of applications. In many cases, the only draw back to choosing FRP is initial cost as the material does cost more than wood or metal and we don’t hide that. However, as FRP shows its advantages over its long lifespan the lower lifecycle cost of the product becomes clear. We say if an application requires one of the following FRP advantages then it is a “good” application for FRP. Two advantages means an “excellent” opportunity and three or more relevant advantages means FRP is an outstanding choice!

  • Corrosion-resistant
  • Electrically non-conductive
  • No rot
  • Will not be attacked by microbial life
  • Easy to install
  • No rust
  • Excellent cold weather properties
  • Flame retardant (certain grades)
