admin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:38:27 +0000

Do you require carbon fiber angle that is longer on one side than the other? Sierra Composites is now fabricating asymmetric carbon fiber angle. The same great high quality carbon fiber angle we have fabricated for years but with two different side lengths. Currently the maximum side length you can purchase is 2 1/2″ long and the minimum is 1/2″ long, and the overal length of the angle is available in our standard lengths of 12″ / 24″ / 36″ / 48″. We are working on a simple product calcuator that will be available on our online store at www.sierracomposites.com but until then you can easily use our contact form for any inquires. Pricing for the asymetric angle is the same as a standard equal side length for the longest side.

Carbon fiber signs at indoor karting and restaurant facility

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:08:28 +0000

A couple years ago Sierra Composites teamed up with a design studio in Chicago to fabricate some custom carbon fiber sheets for one of their clients. Those carbon fiber sheet laminates were used around the facility as signage. They were made from our .059″ carbon fiber sheet and mounted to the walls with standoffs so they “floated” off the wall. We have had this photo for quite a while and forgot about it. Its a great photo showing how Sierra Composites carbon fiber products are used in may applications. The restaurant is Stewart’s Bar and Grille located in the Chicago Indoor Racing complex in Buffalo Grove Ill.

Corvette Z06 carbon fiber sheet fuel door

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:06:15 +0000

One of our great customers just sent us a few photos of Sierra Composites .015" thin carbon fiber sheet veneer. The carbon fiber sheet with 3M adhesive backing was used as a veneer layer over the stock Corvette Z06 fuel door. The Corvette already has a very race car look to it, but the carbon fuel door gives it that extra detail. This project was simple and inexpensive to complete but makes a nice upgrade to the Corvette Z06. Sierra Composites manufactures the absoulute best carbon fiber on the market and has been for many years, that is why this Corvette has it and many SEMA show cars have Sierra Composites carbon fiber products on them as well.

Our new double sided Basalt fiber sheet is similar to our regular Basalt sheet in that it far surpasses fiberglass G-10 garolite sheets.

admin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:07:44 +0000

Sierra Composites has just released our new 2" inch long sided carbon fiber angle. Previously the largest sided size we manufactured was 1 1/2" inch.

The new carbon fiber angle is still made the same containing a small radius in the corner for added strength that sharp corner angle can not match. Our 2" angle is available in all of our stock lengths of 12" / 24" / 36" and 48", and is priced from $31.95 to $139.95.
