What is FRP?
FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) are composite materials, today's popular and versatile man-made choice, increasingly replacing wood, metal and concrete in thousands of applications ranging from aerospace and defence to housing, marine, construction, transportation, chemical and other engineering industries all over the world.
Sandwich Structure Concept:
A sandwich structure consists of two thin, high - strength face sheets (Glass Fibre Polymer Composites) bonded by means of a liquid adhesive to a thin but light- weight core material (Expanded Polystyrene/ Polyurethane Foam). Each component by itself is relatively weak and flexible. When combined together in a sandwich panel, however, a structure results that is stiff, strong and yet light. The core material serves to stabilize the face sheets against buckling under compression, torsion or bending loads and provides a rigid and highly efficient structure. Structural sandwich construction is one of the first composite structures to have received broad acceptance and usage for primary load bearing structures. Virtually all commercial airlines and helicopters, and nearly all military, air and space vehicles make extensive use of sandwich construction.

Why FRP?
Traditionally, wood has been the material of choice for building products in our country.However, apart from becoming scarcer day by day, wood is becoming costlier as well.Indiscriminate use of wood, moreover has led to a serious ecological crisis with rapid depletion of forest cover. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop suitable substitutes to wood- based building products. Years of Research and Development have gone in to developing composites. The introduction of FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic), and GRP(Glass Reinforced Plastic), with their superior properties and their use in complex applications for aerospace,shipping and automobile industries has paved the way to the development of sandwich FRP/ GRP doors, giving superior properties at competitive prices.
