EDON Fiberglass (FRP) - Historic Reproductions

Historic Reproductions and Restorations

EDON has the ability to replicate items to meet your design requirements

Fiberglass provides a durable and economical solution to preserve history.

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.
