Fiberglass Fabrics
What is Fiberglass Fabric?
Fiberglass is a composite material or a material that is made from a combination of two materials with different physical and chemical properties. Fiberglass cloth is made from plastic that is reinforced by woven glass filaments.
Why Use Fiberglass Supplies?
Fiberglass is used in many different industries due to its versatile advantages. Fiberglass is non-flammable, has a high temperature and humidity resistance and is resistant to chemical and biological effects. In addition, it has dimensional stability, good thermal properties that mean heat dissipates faster than other fibers, high tensile strength, thigh thermal endurance and low moisture absorption.
Fiberglass fabric is affordable, easy to handle and easy to maintain. Fiberglass fabric has a wide range of weaves, sizes and finishes, which makes it popular for a wide range of industrial uses. With our stable fiberglass fabric that has an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, you will be satisfied with our fiberglass fabric for any project, large or small.

Compared to other materials, fiberglass fabric sets the industry standard for cost-effectiveness, functionality, and other specialized properties. Consisting of plastic reinforced with glass fibers, fiberglass cloth has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and is very stable. It also is waterproof and fireproof; this makes it a common choice as a fire curtain or covering, such as in areas where tools are giving off sparks. Finally, fiberglass has excellent chemical and abrasion resistance so your construction or repair work will be durable.Best Collection of Fiberglass Fabrics
Our selection includes E-glass, S-2 glass, and multiple types of tape. We carry lightweight, midweight, standard, and heavyweight cloths made from strands of continuous glass filaments that are plied and twisted into yarn. With a standard chrome finish (Volan), all the boat cloths we carry are suitable with polyester, vinyl-ester, and epoxy resins. Our modified twill is ideally suited to complex shapes because it has excellent draping ability. Deck cloth may be better suited to applications in which transparency is important. If you would like to avoid a resin-rich laminate on your boat, our woven roving cloth may be the best solution.S-2 glass is slightly stronger and stiffer than E-glass, making it popular for surfboards, windsurfing boards, or anything where a high strength-to-weight ratio is required. Between two kinds of glass cloth, you can meet the needs of whatever project awaits you. In addition to fiberglass fabrics, we also offer an array of fiberglass tapes that can be used for glass seams, repairing broken masts, or reinforcing other laminates throughout the automotive or aviation industries.
No matter what kind of application you have in mind, we can help you find the best fabric reinforcement for a competitive price.
