Description
This high-performance glass fibre square tube with round bore in white offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it a reliable alternative to metal for demanding structural and framing applications. Its rigid square exterior combined with a central round bore provides both mechanical stability and design versatility.
Lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant, this profile is ideal for use in environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals or outdoor conditions would quickly degrade traditional materials. Commonly used in frameworks, supports, guards and general fabrication, it is easy to handle, cut and assemble on site.
Product Features
- Square external profile of 10 mm x 10 mm for compact, precise structural assemblies.
- Wall thickness of 2 mm providing a strong yet lightweight construction.
- Integrated round bore running the full length, suitable for routing cables, fixings or alignment rods.
- Manufactured from glass fibre reinforced material for enhanced rigidity and impact resistance.
- Clean white finish for a neat, professional appearance and easy visual inspection.
- Available lengths: 2 x 2500 mm segments for modular builds, and a single 5000 mm length for continuous runs.
- Corrosion-resistant construction suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Key Features and Benefits
- Lightweight design reduces handling effort and transport costs compared with traditional metal profiles.
- Corrosion and rot resistance delivers long service life in damp, chemical or outdoor environments.
- Non-conductive material helps improve safety in applications near electrical equipment.
- Consistent dimensions and smooth finish support accurate assemblies and a high-quality final appearance.
- Easy to cut, drill and machine using standard tools, simplifying on-site modification and installation.
- Versatile round bore allows integration of fixings, fasteners or services without additional components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this glass fibre tube be cut to size with standard workshop tools?
Yes, the tube can be cut using common tools such as a fine-toothed hacksaw or suitable power saw, ideally with dust extraction and appropriate personal protective equipment to manage glass fibre dust.
Is the material suitable for outdoor use and exposure to moisture?
Yes, the glass fibre composite is corrosion-resistant and will not rust or rot, making it suitable for outdoor and damp environments when installed and supported correctly.
Can I drill through the walls or bore of the tube to add fixings?
Yes, the tube can be drilled using standard metal or masonry drill bits, allowing you to add fixings, brackets or through-bolts as required, taking care not to compromise structural integrity at critical load points.
