Innovation: “Fiberglass Wire Mesh Steel”
Innovation: “Fiberglass Wire Mesh Steel”

Fiberglass mesh (GFRP rebar) for reinforcing roof structures is made from fiberglass strands and resin, formed in a manner similar to rope-making. It resembles deformed steel bars tied together in a mesh and is an innovation designed to replace the use of cold drawn steel wire. It has outstanding properties, including the ability to bear high loads, high tensile strength, lightweight design for easy handling and installation, non-conductivity, reduced risk of steel rust – a primary factor that weakens structural strength – and a lower risk of health hazards for users. It is suitable for structural work exposed to moisture, chemicals, and outdoor conditions. It will be launched in 2025 as a roofing structural solution under the supervision of the Construction Product Division, Special Projects Business, in collaboration with GFRP Kings Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of fiberglass reinforcement materials for construction under the widely recognized King’s Bar brand that has been accepted in the international construction industry for many decades.
