If you're looking for a material that offers unmatched strength, water resistance, and versatility, look no further than G10/FRP fibreglass sheet. Whether you're working on a marine restoration project, an industrial build, or a high-performance DIY application, G10/FRP (also known as Garolite or Glass Reinforced Epoxy Laminate) is one of the most dependable materials available today.
🔧 What is G10/FRP?
G10 is a high-pressure fibreglass laminate made by stacking multiple layers of glass cloth soaked in epoxy resin, then compressing them under heat until a solid, rigid panel forms. This process produces a material that’s incredibly strong, lightweight, waterproof, and chemically resistant—making it ideal for demanding environments.
FRP simply stands for Fibre Reinforced Plastic, and the terms are often used interchangeably with G10, especially in marine circles.
🌊 Why Use G10/FRP in Marine Applications?
Marine environments are harsh. Saltwater, humidity, UV rays, and constant wear and tear can break down lesser materials—but not G10.
Key benefits:
-
✅ Waterproof and rot-resistant – perfect for structural parts, backing plates, transoms, and cabinetry.
-
✅ High mechanical strength – holds fasteners and mounting hardware securely.
-
✅ Dimensionally stable – won't warp, shrink, or swell.
-
✅ Easy to machine – can be cut, drilled, and sanded like hardwood or aluminium.
-
✅ Non-conductive – great for electrical insulation and mounting.
