The facade in construction is one of the factors necessary to ensure a longer life of the building. However, the advantages of facade systems in construction are not only to make the building long-lasting but also has other advantageous properties, such as high strength and stiffness, reduced mass, low thermal conductivity, high corrosion and weather resistance, durability.
GFRP is lighter than steel and even aluminium, which adds up to its mechanical performance. The ultimate strength of GFRP is almost equivalent to that of steel Besides being lighter than steel, GFRP has several additional advantages over traditional building materials. It is corrosion resistant and has low moisture absorption, therefore making it an ideal material for exterior use.
Benefits of facades from FRP
- Fire Resistant – These natural porcelain slabs are engineered to resist fire, burn and emit toxic substances thus providing superior safety for your building.
- Perfect fit for walls – They are perfect in adjusting according to the required length.This means a perfect fit, zero wastage or rough cuts.
- Extremely Lightweight – Weighing ranging from just 8.2 kg/m2 with 3mm+ thickness, They are easy to handle and add less dead load to buildings.
- Graffiti & Stain Proof – Stains of any kind and the strongest of paints can be easily removed from it making the colors last longer.
- Weather Proof – They can resist moisture, UV rays, high temperatures and frost. This enables them to retain their features and properties for long periods of time.
- Scratch Resistant – Their hard surface makes them resistant to scratches and abrasion. The properties remain unchanged even after intensive use and frequent cleaning.
