Advantages of FRP Door Shutter & Frame

 

• Single Casted with no Joints: FRP door shutters are casted in one single piece (Monolithically casted) hence leaving no scope for any water, moisture, insects, dusts etc. to seep inside the door and pose problem towards maintenance or bad smell. FRP doors are the only doors, which can be made in single piece, unlike PVC, wood or metallic doors.
• Maintenance Free: FRP door shutters are made with inbuilt color, single piece casting and smooth glossy finish hence practically requires no maintenance except for cleaning with plain cloth once in a while or cleaning with soap water. Moreover as the doors are made with inbuilt color, it has very long live without fading of color and requires no repainting over regular interval, unlike PVC, wooden or metallic door.
• Very Long Life: FRP as a material is very tough & rigid and resistant to extreme of weather and there is no aging of the material as a result it retains the same luster, strength and rigidity over a very long period, unlike PVC, wooden or metallic doors.
• Resistant to weathering & UV exposure as the FRP door are UV stabilized.
• Corrosion resistant: Excellent water and chemical resistance. As the toilet door shutters are constantly exposed to water & acid being used for cleaning, FRP as a material are the most suited for this, unlike PVC, wooden or metallic doors.
• Ease of Handling: FRP door shutters are tough, light weight & scratch proof hence easy to handle, transport & install at site.
• Ease of Repair: FRP as a material can be very easily repaired at site for any local or major damage if any & more over repaired area is not visible.
• Ease of Installation: FRP door shutters are provided with inbuilt hinge slots & proper inserts are being provided in the door & are fixed & installed by any normal carpenter.
• Good electrical & thermal properties.
• Good aesthetic appeal, strength, durability, waterproof & are termite proof.
• Good dimensional stability at high temperature unlike PVC or wood.
• Can resist very high impact strength, which is evident by its application in various fields of automobiles, railways, boats, aircrafts and defense etc.
• Excellent mechanical, physical and biological properties.
• Advantageous strength / weight ratio and rigidity.
• Moulding size virtually unlimited.
• Considerable design versatility.
• Choice of wide range of inbuilt colour - maintenance free finishes.
• Fire retardant.
• Excellent screw holding capacity of the FRP Door Shutters due to proper wooden insert being provided in the design.
