Webglas GC – Superior Safety and Strength in Harsh Environments
Webglas GC is Ampelite’s premium gel-coated reinforced fibreglass roofing and cladding panel, purpose-built for Australia’s toughest industrial and commercial environments. Engineered for exceptional strength and chemical resistance, Webglas GC is fully trafficable, eliminating the need for safety mesh, and making it the ideal solution for facilities requiring regular roof access—such as for solar maintenance, HVAC, or emergency access.
At its core, Webglas GC features a heavy gauge woven mat reinforcement that delivers outstanding strength and impact resistance in all directions. It won’t rust, rot or corrode, and is impervious to water, vapour, and a wide range of chemicals. Available in coloured opaque or translucent options, Webglas GC can be tailored for both functionality and design aesthetics, while also blocking 99.9% of UV radiation.
Backed by a 20-year warranty and decades of proven use across sewage plants, petrochemical sites, mining operations and more, Webglas GC sets the standard in GRP building panels.
