MODERN AND INNOVATIVE – 
COMPOSITES IN ARCHITECTURE

 

 

Flexible use

GRP is not only of use in industry. Architects and designers have also discovered the benefits of sheets and gratings for modern architecture. There are many potential types of usage, with scope for a wide range of applications, such as in the cladding of building fronts. 

Thanks to the diverse product range of various sheet strengths and structures and the option for individual colour designs through the backlighting of translucent GRP sheets, the composite material is also known for its low heat conductivity, its load bearing capacity and its durability.

In addition to major architectural projects, smaller tasks such as partition walls in offices can also be carried out quickly and individually using translucent GRP gratings or GRP sheets.

The usual benefits of GRP are also evident here – high strength with lowweight, durability and high levels of UV and weather resistance.
