Each week, Construction Canada brings you a quiz based on one of our feature articles.  This week’s quiz is from the feature article titled Advances in curtain walls: Fibre-reinforced polymer technology[2]. As energy codes and sustainability standards push the construction industry toward more innovative solutions, fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) is emerging as a game-changer in curtain wall design. With exceptional thermal efficiency, strength, and environmental resistance, FRP components are revolutionizing the performance of modern building envelopes.

Take this week’s questions and challenge yourself!

Quiz - March 12
1. Which of the following is a key advantage of using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in curtain wall systems compared to aluminum?
2. What role do FRP pressure plates play in a curtain wall system?
3. Why are FRP structural thermal struts considered an improvement over traditional thermal breaks?
