Chopped Strand Fibreglass Mat 1m2

Fibreglass Reinforcement Mat for Small Repairs and Composite Laminating

Chopped Strand Fibreglass Matting 1m² Pack is a convenient reinforcement solution for fibreglass repairs, small laminating jobs and composite projects. Available in 300gsm, 450gsm and 600gsm weights, this matting provides flexibility in selecting the right thickness and strength for your application.

Manufactured from randomly distributed glass fibres bonded with a styrene soluble binder, this mat is designed for use with polyester and vinyl ester resins. It breaks down easily during wet-out, allowing resin to fully penetrate the fibres and create a strong, uniform laminate.

The 1m² pack size is ideal for smaller repairs and maintenance work where full rolls are not required. It conforms well to curves, edges and complex shapes, making it suitable for patching damaged fibreglass, reinforcing panels and building up laminate thickness.

Commonly used in marine, automotive, construction and general industrial applications, this chopped strand mat delivers reliable reinforcement and ease of use for both trade professionals and DIY users.
