The main quality of fibreglass is certainly the fact that, in constant presence of water, it does not oxides and is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tempco.it\/blog\/en\/5616\/metals-and-fluids-avoiding-corrosion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">corrosion<\/a> resistant<\/strong>, a main problem with chemically aggressive water, it is not affected by weather conditions and is therefore maintenance-free. Fibreglass in addition is <strong>lightweight compared to steel and metal sheets<\/strong>, and can be simply repaired in case of accidents returning to as new conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The construction technique of the <strong>moulded components<\/strong> employs successive layering of glass fabric, called \u2018mat\u2019, which is then soaked in resin. Following the catalyzation, the resin and the mat layers are fused into one body, giving <strong>structural robustness<\/strong> and a uniform surface.
