Composite Materials in Construction

Composite materials in construction are made by combining two or more different substances to create a new material with improved properties. Typically, they consist of a strong, lightweight core (like fiberglass or carbon fiber) reinforced with a matrix (such as resin or concrete). This blending results in materials that are durable, resistant to various environmental factors, and suitable for specific structural needs. Composites are used in building components like panels, beams, and cladding to enhance strength, reduce weight, and increase longevity, making structures more efficient and sustainable.
