Square glass fabric 400 gr/m2 is a high-quality fabric often used for building boats, surfboards, longboards, skis and much more. After hand lay-up lamination, the glass fabric has a thickness of 0.53 mm. Laminating glass fabric is easy to laminate with epoxy, polyester and vinylester. The resin absorption is approximately 373 gr/m2.
Square glass fabric 400 gr/m2
Square glass fabric consists of two layers of unidirectional fibres: 1 layer along the length of the roll and 1 across the width. This weave structure ensures optimum compressive and tensile strength, making the fabric ideal for creating light yet very rigid constructions. Due to the tight fibre alingnment, resin absorption is minimised. A key advantage of square glass fabric is that it provides a high flexural strength.
Square glass fabric is also available in a heavier variant (Square Glass Fabric 600 gr/m2).

Fabric or reinforcement type describes how the fibres are arranged. This affects how easily the material drapes over a shape and which directions it mainly reinforces.
- Plain weave (square weave): the yarns pass alternately over and under each other. The fabric is stable and works well on flat or gently curved surfaces.
- Twill weave: recognisable by its diagonal pattern. It is more flexible than plain weave and drapes more easily over curves.
- Unidirectional reinforcement (UD): the fibres run mainly in one direction, usually marked 0°. It provides reinforcement primarily along that direction.
- Multiaxial reinforcement: fibres are arranged in several directions, for example biaxial (+45°/-45°), Square (0°/90°) or triaxial (0°/+45°/-45°). Fibre bundles are normally held together by stitching rather than a conventional weave.
Note: a Square reinforcement (0°/90°) is not the same as a plain-woven square fabric. Also consider fibre type and areal weight (g/m²).

Areal weight is the weight of one square metre of dry reinforcement, expressed in g/m² (grams per square metre). For example, 200 g/m² glass fabric contains 200 grams of dry fibres per m², without resin. Areal weight helps with reinforcement selection and resin consumption estimates, but it is not the final laminate thickness.
