Description
Our Premium Rectangular Glass Fibre Tubes are pultruded in a polyester matrix to BS EN 13706 specifications. The fibreglass layup is a combination of multi-layered cross-ply glass fibre fabrics, providing enhanced across-axis strength for exceptional mechanical properties.
Glass Fibre Tubes offer numerous benefits including a lightweight construction and a high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring reliable performance even under heavy loads. Their versatility and ease of handling make them a practical, cost-effective choice for a wide range of structural applications, while their resistance to corrosion makes them ideal for demanding environments. They can be easily machined and cut to size, allowing for easy customization to meet the unique requirements of your project.
Offering high performance and durability combined with ease of handling and installation, Premium Glass Fibre Tubes are an ideal solution for various applications.
