Composite technology

New technology
By employing state of the art proprietary pultrusion technology, VELLO is capable of pultruding thin walled profiles with complex shapes at high speed. As a result GRP profiles have now become a competitive alternative to traditional materials in the buidding industry.

Pultrusion
Pultrusion is a process that enables continuous production of composite profiles with constant cross sections and material properties tailored to specific purposes. The method enables very complex shapes to be produced, and ensures consistent quality that can be reproduced.

Material properties

Composite materials have tremendous advantages over traditional materials, such as:

• Low electrical and thermal conductivity
• Exceptional strength to weight properties
• Chemical and corrosion resistant
• Excellent structural properties and dimensional stability
• Independent of temperature extremes and humidity
• Water and weather resistant
 

Compatible with other materials
You can make the entire window from GRP profiles or you can combine the profiles with traditional window and door materials such as wood or aluminium to achieve maximum user benefits.

Easy to machine
By using diamond edged cutting blades GRP profiles can be processed in much the same way as the window and door materials you are used to.

Applications within the building industry

Composite materials have steadily gained ground in nearly all industry sectors – inclusive the building and construction industry – where the fundamental properties of composites offer benefits over conventional materials.

Examples of such applications:

• Door- and window profiles
• Doorstep profiles/thresholds
• Facade profiles
• Structural profiles

A rainbow of colours
The profiles can be painted in a wide range of colours offering almost unlimited options.
