GFRP MESH in India
Fiberglass rebar mesh
Introducing GFRP Mesh, India
In modern construction, GFRP mesh (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer mesh) represents an innovative and versatile solution. Its combination of corrosion resistance, lightweight design, and robust strength not only improves concrete quality but also streamlines construction processes, reduces maintenance costs, and extends the lifespan of buildings. Choosing FRP mesh is a commitment to quality, innovation, and an investment in the safety of future objects in India.
Reinforcement of concrete structures and mixed reinforced concrete structures
Structures located in coastal areas, airports, hospitals, military bases and more
Special purpose objects (power plants)
Weight sensitive structures
Road industry (construction of bridges, roads, tunnels)
Construction of agricultural structures
Heat/cold sensitive environments (basements, patio decks)
Civil projects (commercial & residential buildings, high rises)
Benefits of GFRP Mesh
- Corrosion Resistance. FRP mesh does not rust or corrode, even under the most aggressive environmental conditions. Unlike traditional steel mesh, it maintains its integrity and performance over time, significantly extending the lifespan of concrete structures and reducing maintenance costs.
- Highly Chemical Resistant. Highly resistant to salt ions, acids, alkalis, and various chemicals, GFRP mesh is ideal for use in coastal, marine, and industrial environments.
- Lightweight. FRP mesh is up to nine times lighter than steel mesh of equivalent strength. This lightweight property simplifies transportation, and installation, helping to reduce labor and logistical costs.
- Strength. Fiberglass mesh provides exceptional tensile strength—up to three times that of steel. Its strong bond with concrete enhances structural integrity and minimizes cracking, ensuring long-term stability and superior performance of reinforced concrete elements.
