Characteristics of Glass Fabric Constructions:
Glass Fabrics are available in different constructions. The important characteristics you will find below:
 
	Plain
	
	Twill
	
		
			|  | 
				
				
					Diagonally running lines are characteristic
				
				
					Better drapability than plain weave
				
				
					Less slip-resistant
				
				
					Suitable for complicated geometries
				 | 
	
	
	Satin
	
		
			|  | 
				
				
					Suitable for complicated geometries
				
				
					Very good drapability
				
				
					Low slip-resistance
				
				
					Less mesh crossing, therefore strength in the laminate
				
				
					Leaves a very smooth surface
