Architectural Structures

Our fiberglass-reinforced plastic elements represent an innovative solution for the aesthetic and functional design of buildings and facades. By using FRP, we offer a flexible and durable alternative to traditional building materials, which finds wide application in both architecture and construction.

At C.F. Maier Composites we manufacture custom fiberglass stealth covers, which are used as cellular antenna covers and made to match existing structural design. We design and produce concealment shrouds for antennas in urban or industrial areas, radomes and cylinders for cellular antennas, tower tops and covers of all kinds. Shape, surface, color and dimensions of the components are individually adapted to the site to allow for a faithful reproduction of bricks, natural stone, plastered facades, roof tiles, wood and other building materials.

Suitability and application in architecture and construction

Our products are excellently suited for cladding buildings and facades, offering a wide range of design possibilities. They can mimic numerous surfaces, from natural stone to brick facades, thereby enabling architectural visions without the limitations of traditional materials like wood, stone, concrete, or steel.

Design and Manufacturing Process

The process begins with an initial inquiry from the client, after which we create a custom-tailored design. Once any requests for changes have been considered and a quote has been prepared, we initiate production. Thanks to our in-house tool making, prototyping, and metal workshop, we can manage all steps of the manufacturing process, thus guaranteeing a seamless transition from idea to implementation.

Color Options

The design possibilities of our FRP elements are virtually unlimited, especially in terms of color. Customers can choose from the entire RAL color spectrum to achieve the desired look. For mimicking specific textures like natural or brick stone, various techniques are employed, from spraying to detailed handwork, to achieve authentic results.

Delivery and Installation

We support our customers in selecting qualified external service providers for the installation of our products. A significant advantage of our FRP elements is their durability and maintenance-free nature, making them a cost-efficient solution for facility management. Our FRP components stand for flexibility, durability, and aesthetics. With our comprehensive service offering from concept to production, we enable architects and builders to realize their visionary projects without compromise.

Artwork

At C.F. Maier Composites, we take pride in collaborating with artists, designers, architects, and builders to create unique and lasting artworks from fiberglass-reinforced plastics. Our clients range from municipalities and public institutions to businesses and individuals, all aiming to enrich their surroundings with individual art pieces.

Despite their high stability, glass-fiber reinforced plastics are relatively light, which is particularly advantageous for very large artworks. Compared with other materials, FRP creates additional freedom in terms of statics, allowing even more imposing constructions. Another advantage of FRP for creative applications is that even individual parts and small series can be offered at economical conditions.

Outdoor art installations are subject to the vagaries of the weather. They must therefore be very resistant in order to retain their original appearance in the long term. Fiberglass-reinforced plastics are exceptionally resistant to all kinds of damage, even when subjected to constant stress. Due to the nature of their surface, FRP art objects are particularly easy to clean.

Unleashing Creativity with FRP

Thanks to the flexibility that FRP offers in planning and construction, there are virtually no limits to creative freedom. All sizes and colors are achievable, allowing us to turn individual artistic visions into reality. Whether it’s spectacular installations in public spaces or unique pieces for private collections, FRP provides the ideal foundation for artworks that not only impress but also endure.

Stability Meets Artistic Freedom

One of the greatest advantages of FRP is its high stability while being relatively lightweight. This is particularly beneficial when creating very large art objects, as it allows for additional freedoms in structural design, making even more imposing constructions possible. Moreover, FRP enables the production of individual parts and small series at economically favorable conditions, making it accessible for a wide range of creative projects.

Durable Art for Outdoors

Art installations placed outdoors must be able to withstand extreme weather conditions. FRP is exceptionally resistant to any kind of damage, even under constant environmental stress, and maintains its original appearance over the long term. Furthermore, due to their surface properties, our fiberglass art objects are particularly easy to clean, simplifying their care and preservation.

Transforming Ideas into Reality
