Unleasing the power of Flujo GFRP
A Revolution Beyond Steel
Flujo GFRP, a revolution beyond steel highlights the emergence of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) as a potentially transformative material in various industries, promising advancements that go beyond the conventional uses of steel. With potential benefits, innovations, and paradigm shifts that GFRP could bring to the forefront. Let's delve into the explanation:
Introducing Flujo GFRP Mesh
Flujo GFRP mesh, or Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer mesh, is widely known as fiberglass mesh. This material consists of intricately woven GFRP strands and is crucial for reinforcing concrete elements like slabs, walls, and structural components in construction.
Flujo GFRP mesh is an innovative, versatile solution in modern construction. Combining corrosion resistance, lightweight design, and robust strength enhances concrete quality, streamlines construction, lowers maintenance expenses, and prolongs building life.

Advantages of Flujo GFRP Mesh
Stronger than Steel
Flujo Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is considered to be significantly stronger than conventional materials like steel in certain aspects due to its unique composition and properties.
Upto 80% Lighter than TMT Bars
Flujo GFRP rebars, mesh, and bent elements are custom-made to precise dimensions, reducing waste and minimizing rebar scraps during construction.
Upto 30% Savings as Compared to TMT Bars
Flujo GFRP rebars can offer cost savings of up to 30% when compared to traditional TMT bars, making them a cost-effective alternative.
No Theft in Transit / Site of TMT Bars
As Flujo GFRP Rebars have specific application and no resale value in the open market, they are not prone to theft of TMT bars during transit or theft at site. This will further help reduce project costs by lacs of rs.
Saving in Overlapping Cost of TMT Bars
Flujo GFRP elements do not require overlapping as traditional TMT bars do, resulting in cost savings on materials and labor.
Reduction of Rebar Scraps
Flujo GFRP rebars, mesh, and bent elements are custom-made to precise dimensions, reducing waste and minimizing rebar scraps during construction.
Rust Proof
Unlike steel bars, Flujo GFRP rebars are rust-proof, ensuring a longer lifespan and minimizing maintenance needs.
Highly Chemical Resistant
Flujo GFRP is highly resistant to chemical corrosion, making it ideal for use in aggressive environments or marine structures
20 Times the Fatigue Resistance of steel
Flujo GFRP has 20 times the fatigue resistance of steel, making GFRP more durable under cyclic loading-420, 684 cycles for GRP compare to 23,162 cycles for steel.
No Problem with Tunnel construction
Flujo GFRP’s non-conductive and corrosion-resistant properties make it well-stuited for tunnel construction, where such characteristics are crucial.
