Ampelite Industrial Fibreglass

 

Description

Ampelite’s Industrial Fibreglass has set the standard for Industrial skylights in Australia for many years. It provides cost effective lighting through excellent spanning, light transmission and low thermal expansion.

More recently, Ampelite have developed Wonderglas GC, which provides all of the physical properties of standard Industrial Fibreglass, with ultimate durability through Ampelite’s unique Gel Coat Technology. For more information on Wonderglas GC and Ampelite’s Gel Coat Technology.
