Fiberglass double-T profile for construction and structural applications
At Polymec, we offer the fiberglass double-T profile for projects where a technical profile with structural geometry, chemical and mechanical resistance, light weight and durability is required.
We use this type of profile especially in the construction sector, where the current product sheet indicates that it is widely used due to its technical properties. We also consider its use in other installations when the project requires a double-T profile with defined dimensions and controlled weight per metre.
The current product sheet also indicates that these profiles can be reused in other installations, a point we review according to the operating, dismantling and reassembly conditions of each project.
What is a fiberglass double-T profile?
A fiberglass double-T profile is a technical profile with a double-T section. This geometry allows us to consider it in applications where a component with a structural shape and defined dimensions is required.
Within our range of fiberglass profiles, we recommend the double-T profile when the project requires a section different from tubes, flat bars, angle profiles or U profiles, and when the assembly geometry requires a profile with this configuration.
Applications of the fiberglass double-T profile
We use the fiberglass double-T profile in applications where a technical profile with strength, light weight and durability is required.
The current product sheet highlights its use in the construction sector. It also indicates that these profiles can be reused in other installations, so we review each case to confirm whether the selected reference suits the intended use and the actual project conditions.
Technical advantages of the double-T profile
The fiberglass double-T profile stands out for several properties listed in the current product sheet:
- Chemical resistance.
- Mechanical resistance.
- Lightweight.
- Durability.
- Can be reused in other installations.
These characteristics help us assess this profile in projects where we need a technical solution with a good balance between structural performance, weight and durability.
Before communicating specific performance characteristics, we confirm with the customer or against the technical data sheet which values can be specified and under what conditions they apply.
When do we recommend a fiberglass double-T profile?
We recommend a fiberglass double-T profile when a specific structural geometry and a reference with defined dimensions and weight per metre are required.
We also consider it when the project is in construction or in installations where chemical and mechanical resistance, light weight and durability are required.
When there are specific requirements regarding load, support, assembly, tolerances, exposure or reuse, we review the case before confirming the final reference.

Frequently asked questions
What information do we need to recommend a double-T reference?
We need to know the application, approximate dimensions, the profile's function within the assembly, the operating environment and any requirements related to load, support or assembly.
How does thickness affect the choice of double-T profile?
Thickness forms part of the dimensions of each reference and helps us compare options. To relate it to specific performance characteristics, we first confirm the available technical data.
What should we review if the profile is to be reused in another installation?
We review the condition of the profile, the conditions of its first use, the type of dismantling, the planned new assembly and the technical requirements of the second installation.
When do we compare a double-T profile with a U profile or an angle profile?
We compare these geometries when the project allows for several solutions. We choose the profile according to the structural function, type of joint, support surface and available space.
Why is weight per metre important for this type of profile?
Weight per metre helps us assess handling, transport, integration into the structure and comparisons between references with different dimensions.
