Sizes
Fibreglass Developments have the largest flat panel mould in New Zealand - allowing for production of panels measuring up to 15 metres x 3.3 metres. Panels are precut to your exact requirements prior to despatch.
INSULATED PANELS
Fibreglass Developments uses a unique system which bonds the ply skins to a polyurethane core with a density gradient across its width. Foam is injected between the ply skins while locked in a high strength press. this results in the density of the foam increasing from the centre outwards, to where it forms a high strength bonding layer to the skin.

Skins are joined with fibreglass at regular intervals to provide further strength.
For cheaper lower strength requirements, polystyrene can be used glued to the skins. Fibreglass joints only go to the inside face of ply.
