F.R.P. PANELS

Fibreglass Reinforced Panels (FRP), provide one of the best finishes available to protect various substrates from damage under food production conditions. In food production facilities where moisture from manufacturing, processing, and clean up is constant, FRP panels provide you with unparalleled service.

For over 20 years Clean Room Construction has been working with FRP panels to develop state of the art finish systems.

There are many ways to install FRP panels and without the proper attention to detail, the investment made may end up creating more problems than it solves if the product is not installed properly.

The installation of FRP panels will provide an extremely durable surface that is sanitary and easy to clean. The surface will provide many years of service. Systems may be designed to provide a service life equal to the building itself.

We have found the improper use of FRP panels is common with many installations. Traditionally FRP panels have been installed over many different substrates using various fasteners. The use of mechanical fasteners should be eliminated or at least kept to the bare minimum. Every time you put a hole in a panel you decrease the effectiveness of the FRP panel itself. Installation recommendations from most FRP manufacturers are consistent and mechanical fasteners are recommended. We do not agree with this approach.

FRP panels come in various thicknesses, sizes, and have different fire ratings. All of these factors contribute to how a panel will perform. We have found that having installed FRP panels from all of the manufactures in North America, at one time or another, the basic characteristics of the panels remains the same.

Factors that will contribute to the expansion and contraction of the panel itself.
