FM Insulation is your trusted supplier of premium fibreglass webbing. With over 30 years of industry experience, we provide top-quality insulation solutions tailored to the unique needs of Australian businesses.
What is fibreglass webbing?
Fibreglass webbing is a flat, tape-like product woven from high-strength glass fibres. It offers excellent tensile strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for reinforcement and insulation in various industrial and commercial applications.
Types of fibreglass webbing we offer:
- Standard fibreglass webbing: For general reinforcement and insulation applications.
- Heat-treated fibreglass webbing: Offering enhanced temperature resistance and stability.
Key features and benefits of fibreglass webbing
Our fibreglass webbing provides numerous advantages for demanding industrial and commercial applications:
- High tensile strength: Offers excellent reinforcement capabilities without adding significant weight.
- Temperature resistance: Withstands continuous exposure to high temperatures, typically up to 550°C.
- Dimensional stability: Maintains its shape and properties under stress and temperature variations.
- Chemical resistance: Inert to most chemicals, acids, and solvents.
- Electrical insulation: Provides good dielectric properties for electrical applications.
- Flexibility: Easily conforms to various shapes and contours.
- Durability: Long-lasting performance in challenging environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of our most common questions.
Heat-treated fibreglass webbing undergoes an additional manufacturing process to remove organic binders, resulting in enhanced temperature resistance and stability. Standard webbing is suitable for general applications, while heat-treated webbing is ideal for extreme temperature environments.
hile fibreglass webbing is resistant to many environmental factors, prolonged exposure to UV radiation and moisture can degrade its properties over time. For outdoor applications, consider using a protective coating or consult with our team for more suitable alternatives.
Direct skin contact with fibreglass webbing can cause irritation. We recommend wearing appropriate protective equipment when handling the material. For applications requiring skin contact, consider using a coated webbing or consult with our specialists for suitable alternatives.
Fibreglass webbing offers an excellent balance of strength, temperature resistance, and cost-effectiveness. While materials like carbon fibre may offer higher strength-to-weight ratios, fibreglass webbing is often the preferred choice for its versatility and value in many industrial applications.
Fibreglass webbing can be dyed during the manufacturing process, but the colour options are typically limited. For applications requiring specific colours, consult with our team to explore available options or alternative solutions.
The load-bearing capacity of fibreglass webbing varies depending on its width, thickness, and weave pattern. Always consult the product specifications and our technical team to ensure the selected webbing meets your load requirements.
