Flat fibreglass sheet. Vehicle Insulated Body Panels.
We have developed machinery in our plant to enable us to manufacture sandwich panels up to 19 metres x 3.5 metres in size. Using a vacuum press we can custom build flat panels for any application. Flat fibreglass sheet is also available.
We can use numerous materials to meet your panels’ specific performance needs.
Plywood or pine wood core options with smooth, gloss white gelcoat fibreglass sheet exterior surfaces. Suitable for dry goods truck bodies; walls, bulkhead, roof, floor, doors etc. Floors can have a non-slip surface if required.
Polyurethane foam core with plywood stiffening and high gloss fibreglass sheet exterior surfaces. Foam-cored panels can be made for chiller bodies (0°C) or freezer bodies (down to -30°C).
Foam core sandwiched between smooth, gloss white exterior gelcoat fibreglass sheets.
Panels can be reinforced with internal wood or aluminium frames sandwiched between smooth, gloss white exterior gelcoat fibreglass sheets. Ideal for roof applications, door frames, hinge blocks etc.
TRUCK & VAN BODIES and TRAILERS
Although we don’t construct truck bodies, we do supply the components to make them. e.g. walls, roofs, floor panels, doors and bulkheads; aluminium extrusion corner caps & interior light shells.
Many of our panels can be seen on the roads in the form of truck and van bodies, trailers and semi-trailers.
REPAIR WORK and NON-SLIP SURFACING
We can undertake fibreglass repairs on your damaged truck body, and will happily supply insurance quotes for this work. With our fibreglass manufacturing facilities and skilled staff we can repair your truck &/or trailer body, motorhome or caravan.
We also offer a service where we apply a non-slip surface to any truck or trailer floor using grit impregnated.
