Fibreglass Reinforced Polymers
The first mass produced chairs using this highly mouldable tactile material was in 1950. This produced a practical, robust design that was easy to clean and suitable for both indoor and outdoor locations.
Fibreglass reinforced polymer allows a myriad of colours to be used in the manufacture of any product. FRP structures have strong corrosion resistance, great integrity, and superb thermal insulating features, they stand up well to high temperatures, alkalis, salts and oils. FRP’s are currently used in the aerospace, automotive, marine and construction industries.

Benefits of Fibreglass Furniture
Our Fibreglass Furniture is made of a composite material formed from fibres of spun glass mixed and held together with resin. Often it is referred to as FRP or fibreglass reinforced plastic. The resin is mixed and poured into the mould, then sheets of fibreglass are placed over the resin layer to give the furniture structure. The fibreglass and the resin heat up and harden, this creates a product of immense strength with similar properties to steel, but at only a quarter of the density.
Lightweight
Compared to timber, metal or concrete furniture, fibreglass is very lightweight. This means that items such as bench seats can be easily relocated from indoors to outdoors wherever you need them.
Strength
FRP has the properties of steel at 25% of its weight. It has a high strength to weight ratio. They use fibreglass reinforced plastic in the production of pedestrian bridges so it clearly stands up to these forces.
Corrosion Free
FRP is resistant to splintering, rot, salt, mould, mildew and frost, therefore you can leave our furniture outdoors. It will keep on going virtually forever always looking great.
UV & Fire Resistant
Our furniture is resistant to UV rays. Fibreglass reinforced plastic has great fire resistance as well.
Easily Cleaned
Our Furniture really doesn’t require maintenance. Just a wipe over with a damp rag or maybe some light detergent will bring back it’s shiny appearance.
Safe & Non Toxic
Automotive paint is applied to the outer surface of FRP furniture making it safe and easy to maintain.
Recyclable & Highly Sustainable
Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic can be recycled. Varied techniques can be implemented to develop different components. These products can be formed by making use of recyclate material that is generated by crushing the composites.
Stylish and Elegant
FRP furniture will perfectly compliment your surroundings. Colours can be used to compliment or contrast with your decor. Fibreglass can be made to mimic all sorts of materials, it can be made to look like timber, stone, or whatever you choose.
