All of our fiberglass shelters and buildings feature wall panels made from our exclusive FiberBeam™ Technology - an innovative and proprietary composite lamination process that bonds inner and outer fiberglass skins with a series of integrated fiberglass I-beams. Foam is a great insulator but it is not a good structural material for building shelters. That is why we developed FiberBeam™ Technology. Unlike a typical FRP panel with a foam core that fails when placed under stress, shelters made with FiberBeam™ Technology are more rigid and can withstand much higher stresses without any bowing or buckling. The FiberBeam™ Technology utilizes fiberglass I-beams spaced every 12" on center throughout the walls, doors, and roof of the shelter. The result is a shelter that is both lightweight and super strong - pound for pound, stronger than steel.

The FiberTeam™ Technology utilizes fiberglass I-beams spaced every 12" on center throughout the walls, doors, and roof of the shelter. The result is a shelter that is both lightweight and super strong - pound for pound, stronger than steel. It is capable of handling heavy snow loads, hurricane-force wind loads (up to 160 mph), corrosive environments and seismic events.

In addition to our exclusive FiberBeam™ Technology, walls can be customized with an added panel to accommodate needs for increased structural stability, the hanging of equipment, or when there is an additional need for insulation or sound attenuation.
Need something structurally sound enough to survive earthquakes or hurricane-force winds? FiberBeam™ Technology handles the majority of environmental issues for most applications, but if you have a special need, just let us know.
