Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP)
Fiber-reinforced plastic also known as Fiber-reinforced polymer
is a composite material comprising of a polymer matrix, reinforced
with fibers. The fibers are usually fiberglass, carbon, or aramid,
while the polymer is usually an epoxy, vinylester or polyester
thermosetting plastic.
Due to the wide variety of matrix and reinforcement materials
available, the design potential of this material is incredible.
FRP is of considerable stretch proofing intensity, exceeding
that of low and medium carbon steel. It is light weight compared
to alternative materials and its installation is convenient
and simple. It has high resistance to erosion, requiring no
maintenance. FRP is appropriate for interior and exterior
use.
Fiber Reinforced Plastic is widely used for restoration, replication
and new fabrication of architectural ornamental pieces such
as cornice moldings, columns, balustrades, baluster systems,
domes, sculptures, pilasters, finials, fascia panels, moldings
and other simulated building materials. Fiber Reinforced Plastic
has a smooth surface and it is fabricated in fresh, vibrant
custom colors.
WDI specializes in design and fabrication of decorative ornamental
composites requiring exact specifications with unlimited repetition
that is only limited by the specifics of the project.
