FRP Y Beam
Our FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) Y Beam profiles provide a cutting-edge alternative to conventional steel, aluminium, or PVC beams. Designed for optimal safety, exceptional durability, and a sleek, modern appearance, these profiles are well-suited to a wide variety of applications—particularly where resilience, impact resistance, and strict adherence to Australian standards are required. FRP Y Beams are engineered for seamless integration with diverse substrates and frameworks, ensuring a secure and precise fit for both structural and finishing needs. This versatility makes installation straightforward and results in a sturdy, low-maintenance system, further supported by FRP’s innate corrosion resistance and minimal upkeep requirements.
Key Features & Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance: Like all our FRP products, Y Beam profiles are impervious to rust and corrosion, even when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or coastal conditions. They’re an ideal choice for marine, industrial, and chemically harsh environments.
- Lightweight Construction: FRP Y Beams are significantly lighter than traditional metal beams, simplifying transport, handling and installation, while also reducing on-site labour costs.
- Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Despite their lightness, FRP Y Beams deliver impressive durability and impact resistance, ensuring reliable performance in demanding and high-traffic locations.
- Electrical & Thermal Insulation: Naturally non-conductive and heat-resistant, FRP Y Beams offer a safer solution for environments exposed to electrical hazards or temperature extremes.
- Safe, Streamlined Profile: Precisely manufactured surfaces and rounded edges help minimise snag and trip hazards, presenting a clean, professional look that’s perfect for public areas, commercial sites and busy walkways.
- Long-Lasting & Low Maintenance: Enjoy consistent, hassle-free performance. FRP Y Beam profiles resist fading, cracking, warping and general wear, even under harsh Australian sunlight and tough conditions.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for mining, marine, construction and infrastructure projects—wherever a robust, visible Y Beam profile is required to enhance safety and meet regulatory standards.

Our FRP Y beam are available in a range of sizes and thicknesses to accommodate diverse project requirements. These include:
| Profile | Type | Dimension (mm) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Y beam | A x B x T1 x T2 | (kg/m) | |
| YB | YB25x38x6.4 | 25 x 38 x 6.4 | 1.40 |
| YB | YB38x38x6.4 | 38 x 38 x 6.4 | 1.60 |
| YB | YB50x38x6.4 | 50 x 38 x 6.4 | 1.70 |
Applications
FRP Y Beam sections are highly versatile, suitable for a broad range of applications across multiple industries.
- Mining: Used for reinforcing and guarding walkways, platforms and equipment areas exposed to corrosive agents—delivering lasting safety and structural strength.
- Marine: Perfect for edge protection, structural reinforcement and finishing on wharves, pontoons and walkways exposed to saltwater and harsh weather, ensuring safety and durability.
- Construction & Infrastructure: Favoured for architectural details, safety barriers and structural upgrades where high-visibility, lightweight and robust Y Beam profiles are needed to meet safety codes and improve visual appeal.
- Industrial & Utility Sites: Commonly specified for chemical plants, water treatment facilities and substations—offering non-conductive properties and delivering safer solutions in hazardous environments.
- Fencing & Screening: Incorporated into fencing and screening designs to offer solid support, clean lines and enhanced durability. FRP Y Beams are ideal for secure barriers and privacy screens in a range of settings, combining safety, easy maintenance and design flexibility.
