Product Description:
Structoglas Class A fiberglass reinforced plastic (frp) wall
panels are durable, semi-rigid, and will not mold, mildew,
rot, rust, corrode, stain, dent, peel, or splinter. Panels
exhibit a high strength-to-weight ratio with
expansion/contraction values similar to aluminum

Distributor should be selected carefully for the fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). There are manufacturer FRP variations in this product and large price variances. If you buy a sheet from one vendor it may look different than product from another. So, buy all from one place.

Additionally, consider how will this material be stabilized on the substrate? In other words keep it from sliding all over the floor, especially with multiple sheets.

Compatible products are important choices for rapid protyping. Not sure if First uses Class Aor C. Product comes in smooth and texturized. Sample at kick off was texturized so I trust them to show us the correct thing.

There are many Vendors selling this product locally. I suggest buying here.
