A statue made of fiberglass is a durable and long-lasting work of art that can be created in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs. Made from a mixture of fiberglass and resin, these statues are lightweight, weather resistant and easy to maintain. Thanks to these characteristics it makes them a popular choice for both, indoor and outdoor settings.
Fiberglass is an economical choice only in the case of repetition work, when a model and mold do already exist and more copies of the same piece get ordered. For custom orders a model and a mold must be made on purpose first, for that reason the price is much higher.

Fiberglass, which technically speaking is called GFRP or glass-reinforced polyester, is a fairly new material. Its great advantage is that it can be installed outdoors, but only if ordered in a monotone finish such as bronze, aluminum, white marble or terracotta. Any kind of colors applied to a fiberglass statue would flake off when kept outdoors.
