PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
Glass fibre reinforcement from FiReP
Glassfiber Produkter supplies FiReP reinforcement bars and mesh for concrete structures. Glass fibre reinforcement is an option when a project calls for corrosion resistance, low weight or electrical insulation. FRP means fibre-reinforced polymer. GFRP is glass-fibre-reinforced polymer, used in FiReP REBAR and FiReP POWERMESH. Request product documentation and a quotation for your project.

SHAPED REINFORCEMENT
Helices, angles and stirrups
Helical reinforcement
FiReP can supply factory-produced helices for columns and circular forms. Helix diameter and pitch are agreed for the specific delivery.
Angles and stirrups
Shaped parts are adapted to the project reinforcement drawings. Dimensions and bend radii are agreed, and the solution is designed for the structure.
Factory-formed
The reinforcement is shaped before the resin cures. Factory-formed parts must therefore not be bent again on site.
Benefits of glass fibre reinforcement
Corrosion resistance
GFRP is non-metallic and does not rust in the same way as steel. An option for concrete structures exposed to seawater or de-icing salts.
Non-magnetic and insulating
Glass fibre reinforcement can be relevant where metallic reinforcement affects electrical or magnetic fields.
Documented properties
Product durability and other properties must be documented for the structure’s environment and intended service life.
Low weight in handling
Low component weight can simplify transport and handling on site. Cutting and installation must follow the system instructions.
WHAT WE CAN DELIVER
Bars and mesh for concrete reinforcement
Design using the correct material properties
01 — Design basis
GFRP is not a direct replacement for steel reinforcement of the same diameter. The responsible designer must use the material’s own properties.
02 — System documentation
Assess deflections, cracking, anchorage, sustained loads and any fire exposure.
03 — Reinforcement layout
Coordinate bar or mesh requirements with the project design.
04 — Supply and installation
Agree quantities, delivery and relevant handling instructions.
