FRP Panel Overview
What are Fiberglass Reinforced Panels (FRP)?
Fiberglass reinforced panels, also known as FRP panels, are polyester plastic sheets reinforced with strands of fiberglass for increased durability and strength. They may be installed directly to solid wall surfaces or used as drop-in ceilings. FRP panels are 100% moisture resistant and are used in food processing plants, warehouses, labs, and other applications requiring low maintenance, chemical resistance, and high impact strength.
FRP panels are most frequently used for covering walls and ceilings in places such as classrooms, food processing plants, and medical facilities. FRP panels are primarily used in these environments because of the material's fast installation time and low maintenance. FRP panels are also used in building and construction projects for surfaces that need to be easily sanitized.
How do you install a fiberglass reinforced panel?
To install a fiberglass reinforced panel, you will need FRP adhesive, a trowel, a bucket of water, a roller, and a sponge. First, use the trowel to spread FRP adhesive over the entire surface area where the panel will be applied. Next, place the FRP panel onto the surface and use the roller to remove any air bubbles. Finally, use the sponge and water to get rid of any excess residue that may reside on the panels.
How strong is fiberglass reinforced plastic?
FRP panels are strong as they offer a durable, shatter resistant surface that resists scratches, denting, and corrosion. FRP panels have high impact strength due to the fiberglass strands that are used to reinforce the polyester resin. FRP panels are also resistant to thermal shock and chemicals.
