FRP Top Hat
Our FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) Top Hat profiles present an innovative and robust alternative to traditional steel, aluminium or PVC top hat sections. Engineered to deliver exceptional safety, long-lasting durability and a modern finish, these profiles are ideal for a wide range of applications—particularly where toughness, impact resistance, and strict adherence to Australian standards are essential. Designed to integrate effortlessly with various substrates and frameworks, FRP Top Hat profiles offer a secure and snug fit for structural and finishing needs. This compatibility streamlines installation and ensures a resilient, maintenance-friendly system, enhanced by the corrosion resistance and minimal upkeep requirements of FRP.
Key Features & Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance: Like all our FRP products, these Top Hat profiles remain unaffected by rust or corrosion, even when exposed to moisture, chemicals or saltwater. They are especially well-suited for coastal, industrial and chemically challenging environments.
- Lightweight Construction: FRP Top Hat profiles are much lighter than their metal counterparts, simplifying transport, handling and installation while reducing onsite labour costs.
- Outstanding Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Despite their lightweight design, FRP profiles offer superior durability and impact resistance, delivering reliable performance in high-traffic and demanding settings.
- Electrical & Thermal Insulation: With natural resistance to electrical conductivity and heat, FRP Top Hat profiles enhance safety in environments subject to electrical risks or temperature extremes.
- Safe, Smooth Profile: Precision-engineered surfaces and rounded edges minimise snag and trip hazards, while providing a clean and professional look—perfect for public facilities, commercial premises and busy thoroughfares.
- Long-Lasting & Low Maintenance: Enjoy sustained, hassle-free performance. FRP Top Hat profiles resist fading, cracking, warping and wear, even under intense Australian sunlight and tough conditions.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for mining, marine, construction and infrastructure projects—wherever a resilient, high-visibility Top Hat profile is needed to boost safety and comply with standards.
Top Hat Profile Options
Our FRP Top Hat is available in the below size and thickness:
| Profile | Type | Dimension (mm) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top Hat | A x B x T1 | (kg/m) | |
| TH | TH90x30x4.0 | 90 x 30 x 4.0 | 1.03 |
Applications
FRP Top Hat sections are highly versatile, suitable for a broad range of applications across multiple industries.
- Mining: Used for protecting and reinforcing walkways, access platforms, and equipment areas exposed to corrosive agents—ensuring lasting safety and structural integrity.
- Marine: Ideal for edge protection, structural reinforcement and finishing on wharves, pontoons, and walkways exposed to saltwater and severe weather, guaranteeing reliable safety and longevity.
- Construction & Infrastructure: Favoured for architectural detailing, safety barriers, and structural upgrades where high-visibility, lightweight and durable Top Hat profiles are needed to meet safety codes and improve visual appeal.
- Industrial & Utility Sites: Frequently specified for chemical plants, water treatment facilities and substations—offering non-conductive properties and safer solutions in hazardous settings.
- Fencing & Screening: Used within fencing and screening designs to deliver robust support, clean lines, and enhanced durability. FRP Top Hat profiles are well-suited for creating secure barriers and privacy screens in a wide range of settings, combining safety with low maintenance and aesthetic flexibility.
Specifications
Top Hat Structural Sections can be fabricated as needed. Custom sizing can be arranged, and advanced CNC fabrication ensures each profile is precisely made for optimal fit and finish. All products comply with Australian standards and undergo comprehensive testing for safety, durability and performance.
