Why is fiberglass highly favored by independent high-end home designers?

Glass is hard and fragile, with good transparency, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and other properties; At the same time, steel is very hard and not easily broken, and also has the characteristic of high temperature resistance.

So people began to think that if they could create a material that not only has the hardness, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance of glass, but also has the characteristics of being as hard and unbreakable as steel, then this material would definitely be of great use.

After research and experimentation, people have finally developed such a composite material. It is fiberglass that can stand shoulder to shoulder with steel.

Fiberglass is a composite material composed of fiberglass and synthetic resin.

Glass fiber is formed by high-temperature melting and drawing from glass as raw material. Although single fiberglass has high strength, the fibers are loose, so by bonding them together with resin, they can be made into hard products with fixed shapes.

The material formed by combining the two has a strength equivalent to steel, and is as transparent, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature as glass, so it has an easy to understand name - "FRP".

Fiberglass furniture has advantages over traditional wooden furniture, such as excellent mechanical properties, good gloss and feel, good fire resistance, high stiffness, long service life, corrosion resistance, moisture and heat resistance, heat resistance, mold resistance, water resistance, fire resistance, etc. Especially, it does not contain volatile substances such as formaldehyde that are harmful to the human body in artificial board furniture. The product quality meets national standards, and its fire resistance meets the testing standards requirements of the National Fire Equipment Quality Testing Center.

The unique performance characteristics of fiberglass materials can be closely integrated with modern home design
1. Shaping
Fiber materials have high plasticity, that is, tensile strength. Fiber materials have high elastic coefficients and good processability, which can shape shapes such as realism, geometry, abstraction, etc. Using fiberglass to create furniture with realistic natural elements such as tree roots, wall tiles, and abstract stone shapes, it can be seen that the plasticity, flexibility, and fluidity of fibers make the creative thinking of furniture design more free and open, and can better leverage its advantages in modern furniture design.
By utilizing the plasticity of fiberglass materials, the personalized and humanized needs of users for modern furniture styling are met, making the organic modern furniture styling more realistic.

2. Lightweight
Fiber materials are made from seven or more safe ore raw materials through high-temperature melting and drawing. Fiber materials are lightweight, with high unit strength and strong physical lightweight properties. The lightweight of fiber materials also gives furniture products a significant physical weight advantage, bringing great convenience for transportation and installation.
This visual space also has a strong sense of lightness, enriching the visual hierarchy of the space and satisfying people's emotional pursuit of relaxation and freedom. When people choose furniture, they will judge whether they like it based on its overall shape and structure. The lightweight and breathable feeling brought by fiberglass will deepen consumers' first impression of furniture.

3. Impact resistance and pressure resistance performance

Fiberglass has excellent high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, with a maximum temperature of 300 ℃ having no impact on its strength. It has strong adaptability when used in any environment or equipment products. Fiberglass is a thermosetting polymer that is non-conductive and does not react with the electrolyte.
Research by foreign scholars shows that glass fiber materials still have good chemical stability in various strong acid and alkali environments, and can also have a life of about 20 years in harsh environments such as strong light and rainstorm. Fiberglass materials have a low density, with an average density of 2.4~2.76g/cm3. They have a high elasticity coefficient, good rigidity, large elongation, high tensile strength within the elongation range, strong absorption of impact force, and compressive strength.

4. Translucency and chromaticity
The fiber itself is highly transparent, and it is easy to heat and blend with other materials during use, forming a transparent, semi transparent, frosted, and slightly transparent visual effect, enriching the hierarchy and virtual real relationship of furniture, giving people a personalized feeling and spiritual enjoyment.
Its coloring performance is good. In the material processing process, when combined with the reference color tone, it can produce various changes in color brightness and color, forming a colorful furniture product. Combined with the absorption and scattering of light, it adds many highlights to the overall shape. After completing the basic design, furniture can be freely decorated and colored according to special needs such as function, style, shape, and usage environment.

Bringing more possibilities to design while also creating more attractive home products for consumers

1. Morphological elements
Analyzing the performance properties of fiberglass materials, the requirements for modern furniture design elements are reflected in terms of simplicity, individuality, lightness, sturdiness, and diversity. It not only meets the requirements of diversified design, but also has the characteristics of rich and diverse design.
Breaking away from the inherent furniture styling pattern, fiberglass materials can form many different shapes and form a unified structural form, fully highlighting the elegance of simplicity, solidity, and lightness, giving fiberglass materials a new interpretation in terms of styling. The entire series of furniture is full of unique temperament, fully reflecting the personalization and humanization that fiberglass materials bring to users in terms of styling and structure.

2. Structural composition
The original meaning of texture is the texture or structural features of the surface of an object. For example, tactile perception of the roughness and smoothness of an object's surface, and observation of variable changes in visible length and length. In home design, texture, as a language element of materials, should reflect the characteristics of the materials and provide people with various sensory experiences such as touch, vision, and hearing.
In furniture styling design, texture elements play an indispensable role and are one of the important expressive elements of furniture styling. In modern homes, the changes in texture are more expressed through materials, and the unique artistic and design sense presented by texture.
It can be reflected in modern furniture design while meeting the dual needs of material function and spiritual desire of users. The texture details of fiberglass furniture are well textured and can be used to create various texture effects, such as sandblasted surfaces, patterned surfaces, smooth surfaces, or naturally shaped surfaces, as well as geometric stripes and concave convex reliefs of various textures. Therefore, the re molding of fiberglass material texture details is crucial in modern home design.

3. Color elements
Modern furniture should not only meet the functional needs of people's daily life, but also meet the psychological, spiritual, emotional, and other needs of consumers. Regardless of the modern home style, the expression of color elements in material performance is crucial, so the coloring advantage of modern furniture materials ensures the overall color beauty of the design.
The color development space of materials is vast, and their strong color sense brings richer creativity to the color expression of modern furniture, meeting the psychological and emotional needs of users. The freedom of coloring fiberglass materials is reflected in the cleanliness and comfort of modern furniture, allowing users to truly feel that home is not only a daily necessities, but also a decoration in terms of material and color elements.

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for modern furniture design are no longer limited to the original functions of furniture, but more reflected in the innovation of materials and the expansion of functions, in order to obtain spiritual satisfaction. Today, fiberglass materials can flexibly highlight the styling elements, texture elements, color elements, etc. of modern furniture, playing a crucial role in modern home design.
