12mm ASTEC GFRP L-Bar

Description

The Madewell Products ASTEC Fibreglass L-Shaped Corner Bar is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to conventional steel reinforcement. Manufactured from Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) using ECR glass and vinylester resin, it provides reliable reinforcement where traditional steel may be unsuitable.
GFRP reinforcement is non-corrosive, lightweight and non-conductive, making it particularly useful in corrosive environments and applications where electrical insulation is important. Its low weight also makes handling, transport and installation easier compared with conventional steel reinforcement.
The pre-formed L-shaped configuration is designed for corner and edge reinforcement applications, providing a practical solution where reinforcement needs to transition around a 90-degree corner.

Projects where lightweight reinforcement provides handling advantages

🔮ICR Pro Tip.
GFRP isn't simply a lighter version of steel — it has different engineering properties and should be specified according to the project requirements. Always check the engineer's drawings and reinforcement schedule before substituting GFRP for conventional steel reinforcement.
