Lighter than iron, resistant to rust, and stronger than steel.This is the new material that could revolutionize construction globally.
These are glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP), an advanced alternative to traditional steel that stands out for its tensile strength (twice that of steel), its lightness (up to four times lighter than iron), its resistance to corrosion, its non-conductive nature, and its economic efficiency, with a costup to 30% lower in construction projects.
They are currently being used in roofs, columns, continuous slabs, floors, garages, ports, and marine environments,demonstrating their versatility and durability.
With just 130 kg of fiber capable of replacing one ton of reinforced steel, and with international certifications and the approval of the Building Research Center, this technology represents a key step toward stronger, lighter, and more sustainable construction.
