The World Leader in Pultrusion and Pultruded Fiberglass Structures & Shapes
Resilient
Solutions for Every Application
STRONGRAIL® Architectural Fiberglass Railing & Fencing Systems
A strong, attractive, and safe solution to your structural needs. The railing systems are particularly well-suited to corrosive environments such as those found in commercial structures with urban and salt air corrosion. Systems can be made to meet ADA requirements, adding safety and beauty to your property.
STRONGDEK® Structural Composite Decking System
A pultruded FRP plank and a snap-on hybrid composite top cap make STRONGDEK® a truly unique decking system that combines high strength, rigidity, and integrated fasterner grooves with a non-slip surface, UV resistance, and aesthetic beauty.
HOW FRP COMPARES
to Traditional Materials
Low Lifecycle Cost
Since FRP is corrosion resistant, it will last much longer than wood. The cost may be more up-front, but FRP will need to replaced much less with less frequent maintenance. This translates to lower labor costs and less down time.
Won't Rust or Rot
Fiberglass inherently resists rust, rot, and corrosion, eliminating the need for constant maintenance. A variety of resins are available for improved corrosion resistance when needed.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Strongwell’s fiberglass composite products weigh approximately 75-80% less than steel and 30% less than aluminum. This translates to lower transportation costs, easier installation, and less weight in structural designs.
EMI & RFI Transparent
Fiberglass is transparent to radio waves, microwaves, and other electromagnetic frequencies. Several of Strongwell’s pultruded products are approved via DRJ TER for RF Panel Rooftop Enclosure Systems, which is approved by Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), now in place of the L.A.R.R.
Low Electrical & Thermal Conductivity
Even in low temperature settings, pultruded fiberglass remains a poor electrical and thermal conductor, and offers high dielectric capabilities.
Custom Colors Available
All Strongwell FRP can be produced in any color required. This color can be blended into the resin, which runs through the entire part, and/or in a UV topcoat for added protection and color stability for outdoor applications.
SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE
for Landscapes
Railing & Fencing Systems
Decking & Planking
Strongwell offers multiple options for decking and planking, depending on the desired surface type, installation location, and purpose. Applications include: pedestrian walkways, dock surfacing, roofing walkways, concrete forming systems, and cellular wall panels.
Grating
Fiberglass grating panels are a strong, lightweight, low maintenance replacement for wood planks and metallic grates. Available in a wide variety of thicknesses, panel sizes, colors, and resin systems.
Pedestrian Bridges
Due to a wide product range and array of capabilities, Strongwell can accomodate virtually any bridge project. Components provided range from structural reinforcement strips to entire bascule bridges.
Structural Shapes & Plate
Strongwell’s line of structural shapes & plate is called EXTREN®, which consists of more than 100 different fiberglass shapes. EXTREN® structural shapes have been produced since 1962, and are designed to provide an excellent combination of mechanical properties, electrical properties, and weather resistance.
Fabricated Structures
Strongwell has a substantial capability to add value to pultruded parts including the fabrication and shop assembly of parts, components, sub-assemblies and entire shop-built structures.
Rooftop Subflooring
DURAGRATE® molded grating is lightweight, has bi-directional loading options, and can be easily fabricated onsite. Ideal for rooftop amenities.
Structural Building Panels
Strongwell’s structural building panels can be used to construct buildings or storage boxes. Since FRP is corrosion resistant and non conductive, these panels would be ideal for anything from chemical storage sheds to electrical equipment enclosures.
Stair Tread Covers
DURATREAD™ molded fiberglass stair tread covers provide an easy, cost-effective way to increase the safety of stairways. The covers feature a gritted surface and are intended for installation over concrete, metal or wood steps and for over fiberglass stair treads.
Sheet Piling and Round Pile
Composite sheet and round piles offer tremendous advantages over steel and have been used in the past decade in thousands of commercial private and public sector projects with the US Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish and Wildlife, US Navy and municipalities.
Ballistic & Storm Panels
Strongwell’s HS Armor and HS Storm fiberglass panels are designed for ballistics and other high impact resistance. HS Armor can be produced to UL 752 requirements for Levels 1-8. HS Storm can absorb numerous impacts from flying debris, greatly outperforming commonly used materials.
Studs & Nuts
FIBREBOLT® fiberglass studs and nuts are ideal for applications requiring mechanical fasteners that must be non-corrosive, low in conductivity and/or transparent to electromagnetic waves. FIBREBOLT® studs are machined from pultruded fiberglass vinyl ester rods. The hex shaped nut is thermoplastic. They are easily assembled with a standard six point socket wrench.
