Los elementos de construcción a menudo deben ser restaurados o incluso reemplazados debido a los daños ocasionados por la corrosión de las armaduras de acero, lo que lleva a la destrucción de la estructura de hormigón. Esto se produce regularmente cierto para los componentes expuestos a la sal que se utiliza para el deshielo en las carreteras. Con mallas de refuerzos en PRFV, la corrosión es un problema del pasado. Reduce drásticamente el número de reparaciones necesarias para los componentes de la construcción. Los refuerzos en PRFV se aplican principalmente a las piezas de construcción de hormigón estandar y con polímeros.

Solutions for the construction industry
When steel reaches its limits, the more environmentally friendly glass fibre reinforcement is used. Due to its durability and high resistance to external influences, renovation work and cracks in concrete are significantly reduced.
Fibrolux offers a glass fibre based reinforcement system that fully meets the requirements of sustainability, durability, efficiency and cost saving.
As a structural engineering material, steel has been a success story since the industrial revolution. However, steel also has disadvantages, which are outweighed by the GRP reinforcement.

GRP reinforcement mats have some unbeatable advantages over steel, which have made them indispensable in a wide range of applications in construction projects for several years now.
- Corrosion-free - Durability
- Very high tensile strength with the same Ø compared to steel
- enables a low concrete cover
- chemical permanence
- electrically/thermally non-conductive
- easy machinability and processing
- very low weight despite its many properties
- easy practical handling with spacers and cable ties
- high load-bearing capacity of the material
- Economy/cost saving, smaller Ø required

Plastering walls becomes easier.
- Adhesion to the substrate is better and
- The application of material is reduced.
- The formation of cracks is almost impossible.

The same advantages as for plastering walls also apply to plastering ceilings. Here the improved adhesion of the plaster is even more important.

The repair of components, even in difficult places, is particularly facilitated by the easy handling and processing of GRP mesh mats and is completed in a shorter time.
