2×2 Twill (Herringbone) Fibreglass Cloth – 380 gsm

Heavyweight Fibreglass Fabric for Structural and Cosmetic Laminates

The 2×2 Twill (Herringbone) Fibreglass Cloth 380 gsm is a heavyweight E-glass reinforcement designed for composite laminates that require strength, durability, and improved drape. Because of its herringbone-style twill construction, the fabric conforms more easily than plain weave while maintaining excellent fibre stability. As a result, it suits both structural laminates and visible composite surfaces.

With a balanced yarn construction and consistent fabric thickness, this cloth delivers predictable wet-out and reliable laminate build.

Weave & Performance Characteristics

The herringbone twill weave distributes fibres evenly in both warp and weft directions. In addition, the twill architecture reduces crimp compared with plain weave fabrics. Consequently, laminates achieve improved fibre efficiency and a smoother surface finish.

At the same time, the 380 gsm weight provides meaningful laminate thickness per ply. For this reason, builders often select this fabric when stiffness and impact resistance matter more than ultra-low weight.

Processing & Resin Compatibility

This 380 gsm fibreglass cloth wets out cleanly with epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester resin systems. Moreover, it handles well during lay-up and resists distortion when positioned over flat or gently curved moulds.

Suitable processes include:

• Hand lay-up

• Vacuum bagging

• Resin infusion

• Structural skinning over cores

Because of its consistent construction, the fabric supports repeatable results across multiple parts.

Typical Applications

Because of its strength and handling characteristics, this fibreglass cloth is commonly used in:

• Marine and boatbuilding (hulls, decks, panels)

• Wind energy and renewable structures

• Automotive and motorsport components

• Construction and industrial composite panels

• Tooling, moulds, and reinforcement layers

• Defence and heavy-duty composite structures

These industries value herringbone twill fibreglass for its balance of durability, drape, and surface quality.

FAQs

What is the advantage of a herringbone twill weave?
The herringbone twill improves drape and surface finish compared with plain weave. As a result, it suits curved parts and visible laminates.

Is this fabric suitable for resin infusion?
Yes. The balanced construction allows consistent resin flow, especially when paired with appropriate flow media and vacuum control.
