Pros & Cons: Aluminum vs. FRP Canopy

What is FRP? A composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers, FRP fibers are typically glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt.

Modern FRP Technology

1. State of the Art Composite Fibre Technology providers Greater Strength to Weight Ratio, other than older expensive aluminium style canopies.
– Modern FRP Technology is always improving.

Safety Vision Automotive
