The Expertise Behind Marine Composites
Our marine composite boards are made with advanced materials that are fundamentally resistant to rot, mildew, chemicals, and UV degradation. The typical construction features:
- Continuous glass fiber–reinforced face sheets for exceptional rigidity.
- Closed-cell foam or thermoplastic cores that prevent water absorption.
- A superior strength-to-weight ratio that ensures structural integrity without adding unnecessary mass.
These engineered attributes guarantee long-term reliability in the wet, high-stress conditions where wood panels often fail.
Applications for Fiberglass and Composite Panels
Trusted by professional boatbuilders and DIY boaters alike, these versatile boards are utilized for a variety of essential marine applications:
- Structural Reinforcement: Used for bulkheads, decking, flooring, and transom reinforcements.
- Interior Components: Ideal for interior cabinetry, partition walls, and overheads.
