Durable Materials for Robust Props

At LA Set Construction, our resin and fiberglass services offer durable, high-quality solutions for creating robust props and set pieces. Utilizing these materials allows us to construct items that are not only lightweight and strong but also capable of achieving fine details and complex shapes. This combination of durability and versatility makes resin and fiberglass ideal for both functional and aesthetic applications in film, television, theater, and exhibitions.

The Benefits of Resin and Fiberglass

Resin and fiberglass are renowned for their strength and versatility, making them staples in the construction of props and scenic elements:

  • Strength and Durability: These materials withstand wear and environmental factors, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
  • Lightweight: Despite their strength, resin and fiberglass are light enough to be easily moved or suspended, which is particularly beneficial for dynamic set designs.
  • Detail and Versatility: Resin can be cast in molds to reproduce intricate details, while fiberglass can be shaped into larger structures with complex contours.

Services Offered

  • Prop Fabrication: Creating durable and detailed props that need to withstand repeated use or close-up scrutiny.
  • Scenic Elements: Constructing large scenic items that require a lightweight structure with a high degree of durability.
  • Custom Molds and Castings: Designing and producing molds for resin casting, allowing for multiple reproductions of a design with consistent quality.

Techniques and Materials

We employ advanced techniques and utilize top-quality materials to ensure the best results for our resin and fiberglass projects:

  • Hand Lay-up Technique: Applying layers of fiberglass cloth and resin by hand to form strong, lightweight structures.
  • Spray Lay-up Technique: Using a chopper gun to spray fiberglass and resin mixture directly onto a mold, which is ideal for larger items.
  • Casting Resin: Using silicone molds to cast high-detail resin pieces, perfect for small to medium props that require fine textural details.

Customization is key in our resin and fiberglass fabrication:

  • Tailored Solutions: Each project is approached with a focus on the specific needs and goals of the client, ensuring that the final product perfectly aligns with their vision.
