Construction

In the building sector there is ever more frequent use of composite materials. Among the most relevant benefits can be mentioned:

  • Light weight — buildings made of composites are particularly lightweight and allow for a substantial reduction of foundation elements.
  • Fire resistance — carbon fibers can be impregnated with fire-resistant resins.
  • Longevity — composite materials, particularly those reinforced with carbon fiber, have greater resistance to fatigue than any metal.
  • No maintenance — composite structural components have neither ordinary nor extraordinary maintenance needs.
  • Easy assembly — construction is faster, with greatly reduced building site costs and risks compared to normal operations.
