The Benefits of Building with Advanced Composites

For the last 100 years, architects have been limited to using the same small collection of materials in their designs – most commonly masonry, timber, steel and concrete – meaning designers have been constrained in their efforts to turn futuristic concepts into reality.

Today, PCT is revolutionizing this industry by replacing these traditional materials with advanced composite solutions or Fibre Reinforced Polymers.

Whilst advanced composites have until now, most commonly been used for secondary structures or large self supporting structures such as domes for mosques, PCT is developing more complex solutions to satisfy the designer’s desire to challenge the established form and shape of buildings. These solutions not only include dramatic architectural features and 3D components but also futuristic complete primary structures such as exhibition centres and single shell tower structures.

All of these applications are only possible using advanced composites since they utilize the lightweight materials ability to be moulded into complex forms and sit geometrically.
