Daléro - GRP profiles for kitchens

Strength and durability The use of glass fiber reinforced polyester (GRP) profiles for structurally strengthening natural stone kitchen worktops offers several advantages. GRP is extremely strong because the glass fibers are mainly located in the longitudinal direction of the profile, exactly where the strength is needed. Weight reduction Natural stone is quite heavy, which can cause problems during both installation and transportation, with the risk of breakage. In current productions, residual material such as composite is often used to strengthen natural stone worktops, resulting in a significant increase in the total weight. Our GRP profiles offer a lighter alternative. The use of GRP can reduce the overall weight of the kitchen countertop, making it easier and safer to handle during installation. Efficient way of processing GRP profiles can easily be machined with the same tools, so no new investments will be required. Furthermore, GRP profiles can be calibrated so that they can be accurately adjusted to the desired dimensions and specifications. RELAT I ON BETWEEN K I TCHEN WORKTOPS AND GRP - PROF I LES Bonding GRP profiles are excellent for gluing to natural stone kitchen worktops. They offer excellent adhesion due to their surface and composition. They are basically lightweight, which makes gluing easier. GRP profiles, in combination with the right adhesive, offer excellent resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations and other influences. This ensures that the connection remains stable and reliable for a long time in the kitchen environment. Dimensionally stable and temperature resistant GRP profiles are known for their excellent dimensional stability. This means that they retain their original shape under different conditions, such as temperature fluctuations, moisture (wet sawing) and loads. Due to the combination of fiberglass and plastic, GRP profiles offer a high degree of stiffness and stability. This makes them ideal for applications where accuracy and consistency are crucial. Professional In contrast to residual material, GRP profiles provide a professional appearance and finish under the kitchen worktop, which contributes to a high- quality end product. D A L É R O B .
