Historic and Preservation Committees are becoming more responsive to using FRP as a solution to their restoration needs.
Many if not all of the original materials used on a Historical Reproduction are not available or have become cost prohibitive.
Comparison between FRP and other materials:
- Compared to Aluminum, Concrete and Steel, pound for pound, FRP is stronger than all of them.
- Concrete, Stone or Terra Cotta elements, because of their heavy load, require heavy steel framing or additional structural reinforcement.
- Because of the light weight of FRP, approximately 1 to 3 lbs/sq. ft., support framing is generally provided using wood blocking or a galvanized steel/aluminum system.
- FRP can be painted in the field or have a specific color molded directly into the piece.
- FRP resists corrosion and is virtually maintenance free, making the cost for maintenance after installation almost non-existant.
