Pultruded Shapes

Fastec International Pultruded FRP Shapes

Offered in a variety of colors and a wide range of sizes, Fastec International’s pultruded fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) shapes are also durable, lightweight, longer-lasting than traditional building materials, and won’t swell, warp, or shrink with exposure to the elements. This means you get a better product and spend less time and money on assembly and maintenance.

All of our pultruded FRP shapes are created in our engineer approved facility using the highest quality resins, have a 12 Mil surfacing veil, and meet CTI Standard 137 and 152.
