Flat roof house: GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) favored by RE2026 in 2026
The RE2020 regulation strengthens its requirements in 2026. Discover why flat roof houses made of GRP composite are emerging as the most suitable construction solution for the new environmental standards.
What is a house made of composite materials?
The term "composite house" remains relatively unknown in the construction industry. Yet, composite materials have been used for decades in demanding fields such as aeronautics, boating, and certain industrial infrastructures. Applied to residential construction, these materials allow for the design of solid, durable, and weather-resistant structures.
Can a house be built out of fiberglass?
The question may seem surprising at first. Fiberglass is often associated with boats, swimming pools, or certain industrial parts. Yet, this material belongs to a well-known family in engineering: composite materials. Today, these materials are beginning to appear in the construction sector. But then, can we really build a […]
Are composite houses well insulated?
When people discover houses built with composite materials, one question almost always comes up: is the insulation as effective as in a traditional house? The answer is yes. And in some cases, it can even be better. It all depends primarily on how the house is designed and the construction system used. The […]
The first composite houses in France
Composite materials are now widely used in demanding industrial sectors such as aerospace, marine, automotive, and technical infrastructure. Their strength, durability, and structural stability make them particularly high-performing materials. However, their use in the residential construction sector remains relatively recent. While the challenges related […]
