Description
GRP I-Beam Structural Profiles are manufactured from glass reinforced isophthalic polyester resin with E glass fibre. The resulting high load bearing capabilities make them suitable for heavily industrial applications. Our Universal Beams are stocked in 6000mm lengths but we also offer a cutting service – for details click here
- Exceptional strength
On a weight to weight basis, GRP I-Beams are stronger than structural steel alternatives which reduces damage caused by accidental collisions - Lightweight
Weighing up to 80% less than steel and 30% less than aluminium, GRP profiles provide equivalent performance for considerably less weight - Corrosion resistant
The already excellent corrosion resistant properties of GRP are enhanced by a synthetic surface veil applied to each profile - Maintenance-free
The corrosion resistant properties of our structural profiles remove the necessity of periodic painting or surface treatment - Low thermal conductivity
All of our GRP I-Beam profiles have a low thermal conductivity. They are around 1/250 of aluminium and 1/60 of steel - Non-conductive
FRP is electrically non-conductive, making its specification ideal for cable trays, ladders, cover boards etc. - Electromagnetic transparency
GRP I-Beam profiles are transparent to radio-waves, microwaves and other electromagnetic frequencies so are ideal for aerial masts and radar applications - Dimensional stability
GRP is resistant to stretching, warping, or swelling over a wide range of temperatures and physical stresses - Thermal stability
GRP Beams are capable of withstanding continuous exposure to temperatures of up to 65 degrees C
