Flat Bars / Strips

FRP flat bars are pultruded strips of constant thickness and width, used wherever steel flat bar or plate would be used. They provide excellent longitudinal stiffness for bracing or support in frames. The fiberglass composition ensures the bars do not rust or conduct electricity, while still being strong enough for many structural uses.

Key Features

  • High tensile strength along length (good for tie rods and braces)
  • Corrosion-resistant flat section (smooth, won’t pit or flake)
  • Available in very thin gauges or wide strips (customizable)

Benefits

  • Replacement for stainless or galvanized steel strips (no oxidation)
  • Non-sparking (safe for hazardous area brackets)
  • Very lightweight (less sagging over long spans compared to steel)

Applications

  • Tie rods and anchor bars in concrete (non-corrosive reinforcement)
  • Cross-bracing or shims in equipment mounts
  • Decorative or protective edging on platforms (e.g. edge guards)

Technical Specifications

  • Common sizes from 10×1 mm up to 150×20 mm and beyond (pultruded flat bars)
  • Thickness from ~1 mm up to 10 mm depending on profile size

Unique Selling Points (USPs)

  • Consistent quality and finish (unlike sawn wood or cut steel)
  • Zero moisture absorption (prevents warping that wooden laths would)
