FiberBeam™ TechnologyPound for Pound Stronger Than Steel with No Delamination
Our fiberglass shelters feature our exclusive FiberBeam™ technology - an innovative and proprietary composite lamination process that results in a shelter that is pound for pound, stronger than steel.
Foam is a great insulator but it is not a good structural material for building shelters. That is why we developed FiberBeam™ technology. Unlike a typical FRP panel with a foam core that fails when placed under stress, shelters made with FiberBeam™ technology are more rigid and can withstand much higher stresses without any bowing or buckling.
FiberBeam™ Technology Explained
FiberBeams are essentially fiberglass studs, spaced 12" apart, that are integrated into the walls, roofs, and doors of the shelter. They provide a solid structural connection between the inner and outer layers of the fiberglass skins. The result is a lightweight composite building system, equal to the strength of steel, that will never come apart or delaminate.
Need something structurally sound enough to survive earthquakes or hurricane-force winds? FiberBeam™ technology handles the majority of environmental issues for most applications, but if you have a special need, just let us know.
Just How Durable Are Our Shelters?
We took a baseball bat and a golfball to our fiberglass buildings to see how they would hold up – check these out.
