Most individuals think of fiberglass as the principal material used in the design and construction of many modern recreational vehicles such as yachts and speedboats and other objects in our everyday lives. What many do not know is that fiberglass can also be used to strengthen floors and walls. And if ever you have a need for such a product, you can count on the fiberglass reinforced flooring<\/em> and wall solutions of Extreme Industrial Coatings to do the job and do it exceptionally well.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> In its usual application, fiberglass is nothing more than a mixture of polymer and very fine, almost powdery, glass fibers. By replacing polymer with cement<\/a> or epoxy<\/a>, the resulting mixture of very fine glass fibers is what can now be called as your fiberglass reinforced flooring or walls<\/em> with much higher durability. This system can handle thermal shock, chemical attack, and heavy traffic much better than traditional building materials.<\/span><\/p>\n However, it is critical to understand that the same fiberglass system can also be applied onto existing floors to give it a tough outer shell, making it relatively impervious to almost any surface contaminant such as spills. It can also provide you with a more polished look on your floor without necessarily making any significant changes to the original flooring material.<\/span><\/p>\n Many establishments today choose to have their floors reinforced with fiberglass because it provides them with a handful of benefits. For starters, fiberglass reinforced flooring can possess a flexural strength that can reach as much as 4000 psi<\/strong>. Its strength-to-weight ratio is also higher than other floor reinforcement systems. This gives fiberglass reinforced floors and walls exceptional sturdiness and durability which make the perfect for establishments that accommodate heavy equipment, machinery, or any other object that can put a strain on the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n Since it is essentially made of glass which is impervious to water and moisture, fiberglass reinforced floors are less likely to succumb to structural failures secondary to moisture damage. This helps establishments avoid costly repairs<\/a>. It is a lot easier to clean and maintain, too, owing to its slicker nature.<\/span><\/p>\n These are just some of the more common benefits of having floors and walls reinforced with fiberglass. Technically, the benefits are all attributed to the many fine qualities of glass. And while there are also certain drawbacks to the use of glass fibers in certain applications, you can put your trust in the expertise of Extreme Industrial Coatings<\/strong> that appropriate measures have been initiated to minimize, if not completely eliminate, the impact of these glass fiber shortcomings on the overall integrity of your fiberglass reinforced flooring.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>What Is Fiberglass Reinforced Flooring Or Walls?<\/span><\/h2>\n
