Soft Silver Aluminized Fiberglass Fabric 2x2 Twill 3k 8.8oz/298gsm - Stabilized

Soft Silver Aluminized Fiberglass Fabric — 2x2 Twill (3k) • 8.8oz/298gsm • 50″ Width

Our Soft Silver Aluminized Fiberglass combines the easy processing of E-glass with a premium, metallic finish. Woven in a classic 2x2 twill (3k-equivalent appearance), this fabric drapes smoothly over complex curves and generates a clean, high-end “silver carbon” aesthetic—without using carbon fiber. The aluminized coating provides the bright, reflective look designers want for visible skins, accents, and decorative panels across automotive, marine, motorsports, consumer, and architectural applications.

Key Features

• Soft/drapable construction: Twill weave conforms readily to tight radii and compound curves.
• Premium metallic appearance: Aluminized face delivers a bright, uniform “silver weave” look.
• Consistent quality: Woven by reputable weavers and coated for a clean, professional surface.
• Thermoset compatible: Designed to wet out with epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester systems.
• Versatile use: Ideal for visible laminates, skins, accents, fairings, panels, and interior trim.
• Reliable handling: Comparable in visual scale to a 3k carbon weave for familiar layup workflow.

Typical Applications

• Automotive & motorsports accents, dash/instrument panels, trim, and cosmetic body panels
• Marine interior/exterior panels, fairings, bulkhead skins, and decorative inlays
• Consumer products, cases, electronics covers, and architectural/industrial decor
• Hybrid layups with carbon/aramid when a metallic visual or accent layer is desired

• For hybrid builds, place this fabric as the cosmetic outer ply; reinforce beneath with structural fabrics as needed.

Ordering

• Standard Width: 50″ (127 cm)
• Sold by: Linear yard — 1 yard = 36″ length × full width
• Continuous Lengths: Multiple yards ship as one continuous roll whenever possible.

Color & Image Notice: Due to individual monitor settings, lighting, and calibration, the fabric’s metallic color and sheen may appear different in person. These variations do not affect performance.

We sell this fabric by the linear yard. You will receive a continuous piece of fabric at the width listed.

For example, if the fabric is 50" wide, a quantity of 1 (linear yard) equals a continuous piece measuring 50" wide × 36" long. A quantity of 5 (linear yards) equals a continuous piece measuring 50" wide × 180" long.
