PASSENGER RAIL CARRIAGE INTERIOR COMPONENTS
Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) is an ideal material for train interiors, offering both structural strength and design flexibility. Its ability to be moulded into complex 3D shapes ensures superior aesthetics, while requiring fewer fixings for installation. Additionally, FRP meets international fire and smoke safety standards for rail applications and allows for easy repairs and replacements.
BFG specialises in designing and manufacturing interior components for metros, trams, regional trains and mainline railways. Our interior solutions include:
- Sidewalls, door pillars, and door covers
- Ceiling panels
- Electrical cubicles
- Cab interiors
- Driver desks
- Vestibule panels
- Partition and end walls
- Seats
Our FRP panels are available in a variety of surface finishes to meet customer specifications, including
gelcoat, painted, anti-graffiti coatings, high gloss, low gloss and textured finishes.
