I use FRP profiles because

1. 4 x lighter than steel and stronger than steels in the lengthwise direction
2. corrosion, rot and insect resistant
3. It is a non-conductive material, so there wont be any galvanizing reactions for materials that have to attach to structures and it be impact resistant.
4. Simple fabrication with standard tools — no welders need
5. no rust, no need painting(many colors can choose)
6. fire retardant
7. resists a broad range of chemicals
8. unaffected by moisture or immersion in water.
9. resists insect damage
10. Good insulator with low thermal conductivity.
11. low heat expansion
12. cheaper than steel H/I- beams

making sandwich with FRP profile inside with PU foam covered by MgO sheets is an unbeatable combination.
