The FRP Truss is a product consisting of two parallel rail bars connected top and bottom to a continuous truss bar with plastic connectors at every intersection.
Fiber reinforced material increases the thermal efficiency of panels and reduces cold bridging.
Supports all working loads, including stripping, handling, transportation, installation, and service.
Shape provides composite action between the inside and outside concrete wythes.
Durable and corrosion resistant material is 2.5 times stronger than steel and does not stain.
Adapts to locally available foam insulation materials.
Easy to install
The truss can be pre-set or wet set with foam insulation.
This FRP Truss is made from glass-fiber reinforced polymer. It develops strength and rigidity from a composite reinforced design. Two parallel rail bars are connected top and bottom to a continuous truss bar with plastic connectors at every intersection. Layer of insulation is placed between lengths of FRP Truss and sandwiched between the inside and outside concrete wythes. When beginning to design a composite sandwich wall panel, there are several key criteria that should be considered, including:
R-value of the wall system
Structural considerations
Regional shipping impacts
Jobsite impacts
