One of the limitations of FRP is that it is a combustible material. This means that it is not a suitable material for every application and in many cases, safety precautions must be taken to reduce the chance of fire. In some scenarios materials such as fire-resistant carbon fibre may be the ideal choice rather than glass fibre reinforced plastic. FRP is still an ideal choice for many construction projects, but it is best to always keep in mind that the material is not always flame resistant and can be combustible depending on the type of material it is made from.
