Composite Material

In Plain English

A construction material made by combining two or more materials to get better performance than either material alone.

Definition

A composite material in construction is a product made by combining two or more constituent materials with different properties to produce a material with superior or unique characteristics. Examples include fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), wood-plastic composites, and structural insulated panels (SIPs). Composites often offer advantages in strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability.
