FRP Pultruded Decking
FRP Pultruded Decking is an engineered decking solution made from pultruded fibreglass reinforced polymer (FRP). FRP is a composite material made from a thermosetting resin, reinforced with glass fibres. Pultruded decking profiles deliver a high strength decking system, making them ideal for public infrastructure applications such as pedestrian bridges, walkways, and platforms where durability, load-bearing capacity, and long-term performance are essential.
