Know the 5 Advantages of FRP Structures in Industrial Zones

It is known to you that composite materials are gaining importance in these days. They have certain advantages over the conventional structures that are made of wood, metal, steel or aluminum. There are various companies that offer customized composite structures for satisfying the requirements of the customers. Two types of pultruded structures are popular among the builders, GRP and FRP. But among these two materials, Fibreglass or FRP is widely accepted in the market. FRP items are made with the process of pultrusions and can be customized in various forms.

Due to the extensive beneficial features offered by FRP, builders and architects are installing them in various industrial applications. FRP grating, platforms, access systems and roofing are used in the industries to make the framework of the buildings strong and durable. TREADWELL is one of the reputed organizations in New Zealand that offers the wide range of FRP products for oil refineries, petrochemical plants, mining industries, food processing, aquaculture department and other engineering sectors. Here are some of the advantages that make FRP reliable.

•    Strength or Roughness:

It is one of the greatest advantages, which make FRP structures popular in the market. As compared to its light weight, Fibreglass items are strong or have high friction. The FRP platforms thus increase the friction and reduce the chances of risks that prevail in slippery floors.

•    Easy to Install :

It is another advantage that makes fibreglass structures best among all. Almost all the FRP products are very easy to install and they require less number of labor for installation. Builders find no difficulty in installing FRP platforms or access systems in the industrial zones. The installation time is also less and saves money in installation.

•    Non-Conductive and Non-Corrosive :

These two features make FRP most popular in the market. As compared to other traditional items made with wood, steel and aluminum, FRP items do not conduct electricity and also, they are non-corrosive in nature. Due to these two features, FRP building accessories are long lasting.

•    Non-Resistant and Non-Slippery :

FRP structures are non-resistant in nature. Chemicals, moisture, acids and other liquids do not affect them. Anti-resistivity makes FRP structures reliable for future needs. FRP items are also anti-slippery in nature. They increase friction and reduce the chances of accidents in the risky grounds.

Apart from these features; FRP stair nosing, stair treads, cable trays and roofing are affordable, unlike traditional items. Thus, if you want to make your buildings strong and durable, it is better to use fibreglass pultruded items.
