GLASBOND® transforms FRP technology with its innovative adhesive-backed panels, enabling a 60% faster installation through a revolutionary peel-and-stick system. This groundbreaking design significantly reduces installation time and costs, addressing critical industry challenges like labor shortages. The prefabricated adhesive backing ensures cleaner, more efficient application, addressing contractors’ desire to save time and reduce clean-up. GLASBOND retains the qualities of traditional FRP, featuring the protective Surfaseal® finish for unmatched durability, moisture resistance, and ease of maintenance. Its smooth, non-porous surface actively prevents mold and bacteria growth, making it an ideal choice for stringent hygienic environments such as food processing facilities, cleanrooms, laboratories, and hospitality settings. Patent-pending GLASBOND reflects rigorous testing to ensure robust bond strength across diverse conditions, complemented by matching trim profiles for seamless integration. This next-generation FRP solution delivers efficiency and hygiene, setting a new standard for wall solutions while meeting the evolving demands of contractors and facility managers.
