Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the load capacity compare to steel U-profiles? A: Our GRP/FRP U-profiles (300 x 90 x 15 mm) can support a high proportion of the load of equivalent steel profiles while weighing less, giving a favorable strength-to-weight ratio. Q: Can these profiles be painted or modified? A: Yes. The profiles accept standard epoxy-based paints and can be easily cut, drilled, and fastened on-site using conventional tools. No specialized equipment is required. Q: What is the expected lifespan in a coastal environment? A: In coastal environments, our GRP/FRP profiles can deliver long service life with minimal degradation compared with unprotected steel profiles. Q: Are these profiles environmentally friendly? A: Yes. Our production process generates lower carbon emissions than steel manufacturing, and the extended service life can reduce resource consumption and waste. Q: How quickly can custom lengths be delivered? A: We can deliver custom-cut lengths within 5-7 business days, while maintaining our standard 6-meter profiles made to order for project-based lead time. Q: Are there fire-resistance options available? A: Yes, we offer fire-retardant formulations that meet Class B fire rating standards according to EN 13501-1, suitable for most industrial applications.
