Fibreglass Fabric from R&G – Versatile Reinforcements for High-Strength Applications

High-quality fibreglass fabric for a wide range of projects

Fibreglass fabric from R&G is an essential component in the manufacture of fibre-reinforced plastics (GRP). With its impressive combination of strength, flexibility and chemical resistance, fibreglass offers a wide range of applications – from industrial use to repair and construction projects. Our range includes high-quality glass fabrics in various weave patterns and widths. This includes practical fibreglass fabric rolls and GRP mats, perfectly matched to your requirements.

Properties of glass fabric

High strength with low weight

GRP fabric offers high tensile and compressive strength while remaining lightweight and flexible. This makes it ideal for use in load-bearing structures without unnecessarily increasing the weight of the component.

Is fibreglass fabric heat-resistant?

The material offers high temperature resistance and is well suited for applications exposed to demanding thermal conditions. It is also resistant to many chemicals, allowing it to retain its properties even in aggressive environments.

Is fibreglass waterproof?

Glass fabric itself does not absorb moisture and is therefore suitable for use in wet or marine environments, such as boatbuilding or swimming pool repairs. In combination with a suitable resin system, durable and water-resistant composite structures can be produced.

Versatile processing

The material is compatible with various resin systems, including epoxy resin, ensuring good bonding and reliable curing. The combination of glass fabric and resin results in a strong, durable composite structure.

Advantages of fibreglass fabric from R&G

• Versatility: Ideal for applications in aviation, boatbuilding, model making and GRP repair.
• Flexibility: Easy to cut to size and adapt to different contours.
• Resin compatibility: Provides a strong bond and good mechanical properties.
• Available in rolls: Our fibreglass fabric roll is particularly practical for larger projects and helps reduce waste.

Applications of glass fabric

Reinforcement in construction projects

The fabric is frequently used in construction to reinforce structures and improve durability. It can serve as a suitable reinforcement layer for concrete structures or for repairing existing components.

Boatbuilding and marine applications

Thanks to its moisture resistance and corrosion resistance, the material is an excellent choice for boatbuilding and marine repairs. Combined with epoxy resin, it can be used to produce durable, water-resistant structures.

Model making and vehicle repair

In model making and vehicle repair, the fabric is valued for its formability and high strength. It is easy to cut and adapt, making it suitable for fine details and complex shapes.

Processing glass fabric

Processing the fabric is straightforward and does not require specialised tools. The main steps include:

1. Cutting: The fabric can be cut to the required size and shape.
2. Fibreglass fabric and epoxy resin: The material is often combined with epoxy resin to create a strong, durable bond.
3. Curing: After the resin has been applied, the component must cure under suitable conditions to achieve maximum strength.
4. Finishing: Once cured, the finished structure can be further processed, sanded or painted.

Processing fibreglass mats

The processing of fibreglass mats is similar to that of glass fabric. Precise cutting and combination with suitable resin systems are also essential here to produce a strong and durable structure. You can buy fibreglass mats directly in our shop to equip your project with the right materials.

Safety information

Gloves should always be worn when handling glass fabric, as direct skin contact may cause irritation or allergic skin reactions. A protective mask is recommended to avoid inhaling dust particles during cutting or sanding.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is glass fabric used for?

The material is used for the manufacture and reinforcement of fibre-reinforced plastics (GRP). It is suitable for construction projects, vehicle repairs, boatbuilding and many other applications.

Is glass fabric flammable?

No, the material itself is non-combustible. It offers high temperature resistance and is therefore also suitable for applications where heat resistance is required.
