If You Can Think It, We Can Make It.
FDL provides a complete project service, taking ideas from initial scoping and design through pattern and mould making, manufacture, finishing and installation. Our in-house capabilities and network of specialist suppliers and subcontractors allow us to manage complex projects with continuity from concept to completion.
Although composites are our speciality, we do not assume they are always the best solution. We consider performance, finish, weight, durability, production requirements and cost to recommend the process and material best suited to each project.
Fibreglass is strong, lightweight, weather-resistant and capable of forming complex shapes with a wide variety of finishes. Our experience spans transport, aviation, marine, architecture, public art, commercial fit-outs, panels, baths, pools, tanks and custom enclosures—from prototypes and one-off projects to repairs and repeat production.
