COMPOSITE MATERIALS
What are composites?
 Composites are engineered products
made from two or more different
materials.
 Its any product or construction made up
of a number of different materials or
technologies; usually a laminated
material or one of plastic, concrete or
cement reinforced with fibres of glass,
mineral, metals or polymers.
Where are composites found?
 Composites are used to raise performance

levels, address traditional material design
limitations, and enable the development of
new product solutions.
 Composites are also used in many critical
industrial, infrastructure, aerospace
military and Architectural applications.
What are composites made from?
 The term composite can describe many types of
engineered materials, but the most common
engineered composite materials are fiber
reinforced polymers (FRP).
 The reinforcing fiber is commonly glass fiber,
although high strength aramids, plant based
fibers and carbon fibers are used in some
applications
1.Acoustical Panels:
Large overhead composite panels and wall mounted curved
reflectors dramatically improve acoustics and listening quality
in auditoriums, lecture halls, churches, performance halls and
rehearsal spaces.
2.Wall Cladding
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) composite wall are used
throughout the construction and building materials industries. FRP
offers a number of significant features including resistance to mold,
mildew, and bacteria growth, high impact strength, high moisture
resistance, chemical resistance, stain resistance, sanitary finish, low
maintenance, and easy installation.
3.Composite Flooring
Polished composite surfaces provide stunning appearance in
flooring applications and are extremely durable.
4.Divider Panels
Composite panels provide decorative and functional space
separation and can be used to produce stunning light
effects. Reinforced composite panels are extremely strong
yet can offer a delicate and attractive appearance.
5.Solid Surface Shower
Solid surface showers allow specific designs and unique spaces
to be created with easy to maintain surface with an array of
color and pattern options. These surfaces are non-porous and
can be easily renewed.
6.Urinals.
The use of composite urinals yields a lighter weight but more
durable unit than vitreous china. Composite units also resist the
crack and break issues common during shipping and installation
of urinals
7.Robal Glass Surfaces
Composites offers an endless array of customized sizes for
shower bases, wall panels and vanity tops. The composite is
manufactured with a surface coating to ensure surface integrity
and to resist stains, water, heat, chemicals, bacteria and
everyday wear and tear.
8. Sun Screens
Composites provide a durable and maintenance free method of
providing your interior and exterior areas with shading and
screening. Screens and shades allow building occupants
outdoor views while minimizing glare inside your living and
work space.
9. Skylights
Skylights are an effective means of adding natural daylight while
maintaining structural integrity
10. Bath surfaces
Bath environments, specifically suited for showers,
tubs and sink counters. Also found in reception and
decorative surfacing locations.
11. Doors
The use of composites opens new doors for builders
and home-owners interested in long term
performance and low maintenance.
• Low cost design

flexibility
• High impact
resistance
• Doesn’t rot, rust,
corrode, or swell
• Provides thermal and
acoustical insulation
12. Curtain walls
Fiberglass pressure plates provide improved thermal properties
over aluminum pressure plates for curtain walls frames of
commercial buildings.
Advantages
• Low thermal bridging
• Design flexibility
• Strength and durability
• Fewer installation steps
• Customize projects with face covers of various depths and
profiles
The benefits of using composite materials include:
•High strength
•Lightweight
•Corrosion Resistance.
•Durability
•Design Flexibility
•Parts Consolidation
•Dimensional Stability: FRP composites maintain their shape and functionality
even under severe mechanical and environmental stresses.
•High Dielectric Strength: FRP composites have excellent electrical insulating
properties
•Low Thermal Conductivity: FRP composites are naturally poor conductors
•Elevated Temperature Service
Composites and sustainability
Many of the properties that make FRP composites the preferred material of
choice for performance reasons also result in a more sustainable material.
These properties include:
•Durability, requiring less frequent maintenance and replacement
•Resistance to rot and corrosion, resulting in a longer service life
•Insulating property, providing energy savings during use
•Composites can contribute to reducing environmental impact by direct

application and through functional applications.
•Direct contribution can be seen in applications that reduce energy

requirements, such as: Fiberglass window lineals and doors do not rot, rust or
swell – resulting in fewer air leaks and better seals than wood and steel
products.
