Fiberstruct supplies durable grating for Tridealhouse
At Fiberstruct, we are committed to delivering high-quality and sustainable solutions for innovative projects. One such project is Tridealhouse — a groundbreaking housing concept focused on creating affordable, eco-friendly, and self-sufficient homes. As part of this initiative, we contributed our expertise by supplying glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) grating that aligns perfectly with Tridealhouse’s sustainability goals.
Tridealhouse: An Innovative Housing Concept
According to the United Nations, around 1.1 billion people currently live in urban slums or similar conditions — a number projected to rise to 3.1 billion over the next 30 years. Tridealhouse is dedicated to combating urban poverty by developing modular, triangular homes that are not only cost-effective and durable but also promote a circular and sustainable society.
The Tridealhouse units are designed with a strong focus on rainwater harvesting and storage, energy efficiency, sustainable materials, and urban agriculture. This allows residents to live in a self-sufficient manner. These homes are ideal for urban areas in developing countries, where affordable housing, food production, local micro-jobs, and sustainability must go hand in hand. Tridealhouse addresses the urgent need for affordable housing and food security while also supporting local communities and the environment.
The challenge
The challenge
Designing homes with a sustainable footprint, while ensuring affordability and long-term usability, posed significant challenges. The materials needed to be lightweight, strong, and weather-resistant — all without compromising on environmental friendliness. Tridealhouse required construction materials that could withstand tropical climates, deliver long-lasting performance, and remain easy to maintain.
Fiberstruct’s Contribution
Fiberstruct supplied GRP grating that met this challenge perfectly. These gratings are not only corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance, and durable, but they also significantly reduce weight compared to traditional materials like steel. In addition, the gratings provide excellent ventilation and water drainage — essential factors for creating a healthy living environment.
