Advantages of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer
- High Strength
- GFRP has a very high strength to weight ratio
- Lightweight
- Low weights of 2 to 4 lbs. per square foot means faster installation, less structural framing, and lower shipping costs
- Resistance
- Resists salt water, chemicals, and the environment - unaffected by acid rain, salts, and most chemicals
- Seamless Construction
- Domes and cupolas are resined together to form a one-piece, watertight structure
- Able to Mold Complex Shapes
- Virtually any shape or form can be molded
- Low Maintenance
- Research shows no loss of laminate properties after 30 years
- Durability
- Stromberg GFRP stood up to category 5 hurricane Floyd with no damage, while nearby structures were destroyed
