Pultruded fiberglass siding.

Frp pultruded structurals are strong. Pultruded fiberglass that has been used successfully in residential windows for several years. Heat is used on the thermoset resins in the fiberglass pultrusion process to cause an irreversible chemical reaction which permanently sets the shape of the fiberglass window frames. Strongwell frp weighs up to 75 less than steel and 30 less than aluminum ideal when weight and performance counts.

Pultruded fiberglass is a relatively new siding material that can withstand extreme temperatures. Pultrusion is a continuous molding process using fiber reinforcement in polyester or thermosetting resin matrices. Frp structural shapes are commonly specified by engineers and industrial designers for use as supports for frp roofing and siding and as components in corrosive environments such as metal processing wastewater treatment pulp and paper petrochemical mining etc. This fiberglass siding is highly moisture and impact resistant with strength and durability that is unmatched.

Caulk free installation eliminates the future need to touch up caulk and paint. The apex system uses ultrex a pultruded fiberglass material developed by marvin. The same pultruded fiberglass material used in integrity and infinity products makes apex siding a low maintenance moisture and impact resistant alternative to fiber cement wood and vinyl. Apex will continue to stand behind its siding product and honor the terms of the product warranty for its duration.

Pound for pound extren pultruded fiberglass structural shapes are stronger than steel in the lengthwise direction. Pultruded refers to the way in which the fiberglass is manufactured. The information provided on this website is available to assist you in contacting apex siding and accessing. Lap siding made with the material can withstand temperature extremes.

Pultrusion consists of pulling fiberglass strands through a resin and heated die. An interlocking design means tight seams and no visible nails. Strongirt pultruded z girt for continuous insulation cladding attachment is an all frp fiberglass composite using a custom fire retardant resin system and unique laminate design to offer superior pull out strength excellent thermal efficiency and the ability to work with any non proprietary insulation no routing or fabricating of rigid insulation is required.
