Introducing GFRP rebar
GFRP, or Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer, is a composite material that has the potential to be transformative in various constructive industries. GFRP Rebar is an economical, safe, and long-term sustainable solution, offering both initial and long-term cost savings. Fiberglass rebar has enjoyed a rise in popularity thanks to the many key advantages it offers over its steel rebar. Choosing FRP rebar is a commitment to quality, innovation, and an investment in the safety of future objects.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β
