Product description
Glass fibre fabric is a reinforcement material made of finely woven glass fibres. Thanks to the square (plain) weave structure, this glass fibre fabric has a higher tensile strength than fibreglass chopped strand mats (CSM) and absorbs less resin. This creates a lighter and stronger construction.
Glass fibre fabric works excellently with polyester resin, vinylester resin and epoxy resin.
Glass fibre fabric (plain) is also available as twill fabric. These fabrics look similar, but have important differences. For example, twill fabric is foldable and therefore suitable for round surfaces. Plain glass fibre fabric is very suitable for straight surfaces.
Features Glass fibre fabric 80 gr/m² (plain)
- Lower resin absorption than glass fibre mat (lightweight result).
- Suitable for straight surfaces.
- Fabric does not crease.
- High tensile strength.
- Available in 80 gr/m2 and 200 gr/m2.
Applications
Glass fibre fabric is often used to reinforce wooden objects, such as plywood. In addition, this type of fabric is also suited for waterproofing wet areas. Due to the square weave structure, glass fibre fabric is particularly suited for straight surfaces. It can be laminated tightly and does not crease.

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.
