What is CFRP and why is it important?

The growing use of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is set to transform the UK construction industry. Structural Repairs spearhead the adoption of this game-changing technology.

CFRP boasts lightweight, strong, stiff, and corrosion-resistant properties, making it ideal for reinforcing bridges, buildings, and infrastructure.

As UK construction output soars towards £354.9 billion by 2024, CFRP demand will surge in tandem.

Leading CFRP companies are innovating with advanced carbon fibre fabrics and recycled carbon fibre 3D printing filaments.

These developments unlock thrilling new possibilities for construction.

Moreover, the UK’s emphasis on infrastructure and sustainability positions CFRP as an increasingly crucial material.

CFRP minimises material usage, bolsters structural integrity, and reduces maintenance costs, enticing eco-conscious builders.

With the global CFRP market poised to reach $20.19 billion by 2028, the UK stands ready to spearhead this trend.

As more industry professionals champion CFRP, anticipate a surge of innovative, resilient, and sustainable structures that will redefine the UK’s future built environment.

So contact us today and we can organise a CPD presentation if you are a company or a professional service associated with the industry.

If you are a builder or repairer we can also supply the products if required.
