Fibre glass is an immensely versatile material due to its light weight, inherent strength, weather-resistant finish and variety of surface textures.
During World War II, fibre glass was developed as a replacement for the moulded plywood used in aircraft radomes (antenna housings) as fibreglass is transparent to microwaves. Its first main civilian application was for the building of boats and sports car bodies, where it gained acceptance in the 1950s. Its use has also broadened to the automotive and sport equipment sectors where we also manufacture many differnt bespoke designs.
At Bedford Glass Fibre we work on many Aviation products, modifications and repairs at our factory or our customers site.
We have produced many different structures for the aviation industry as well as repairs including:
- Panels
