FRP Panels Get Competitive
While EDON Composites in Horsham, Pa., has been manufacturing ornamental architectural elements out of FRP since 1963, the company has recently seen greater interest from architects around incorporating fiberglass into panel systems. EDON completed two large façade jobs in the last year and is beginning work on several others.
“You go through peaks and valleys with different changes of building style,” says Matt Axel, president of EDON Composites. “We will always be doing the classical architecture – the cornices and columns and things like that – but, every once in a while, you see a push to a different style.”
