Overwhelming Interest in LAMILUX GRP Products for Caravans and Motorhomes


LAMILUX Composites at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2024

LAMILUX Composites GmbH, Europe’s leading manufacturer of glass-fiber reinforced plastics (GRP), successfully participated in the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2024. As the world’s leading trade fair for motorhomes and caravans, the event took place from August 30 to September 8, 2024, providing an ideal platform to showcase the latest product developments and innovations in the industry.

This year's exhibition focused on LAMILUX Sunsation®, a product for the exterior cladding of caravans or motorhomes that sets new standards in UV resistance and surface quality. Thanks to revolutionary gelcoat technology, the material maintains its original color brilliance for many years and offers exceptional weather resistance. New this year, LAMILUX Sunsation® is now also available with an exclusive metallic effect, enhancing the design of leisure vehicles significantly.

Features of LAMILUX Sunsation® include:

  • Maximum UV Resistance: The special surface coating protects the material from discoloration and fading over time.
  • Outstanding Durability: The particularly resilient surface is scratch-resistant and protects against mechanical influences, significantly extending the material's lifespan.
  • Highest Color Brilliance: Thanks to the unique surface technology, vehicles retain their shiny, like-new appearance even after many years.
  • Now with Metallic Effect: The newly developed metallic effect gives vehicle design a modern and luxurious look.
  • Minimized Maintenance: The easy-care surface of LAMILUX Sunsation® reduces the need for regular upkeep, resulting in lower maintenance costs.

In addition to LAMILUX Sunsation®, LAMILUX also presented other innovative products specifically designed for the interior or roof lining of caravans and motorhomes:

  • LAMILUX LAMIGraph: High-quality decorative composite materials for interior design, known for their diverse design possibilities and high durability.
  • LAMILUX CompositeFloor: An extremely robust flooring solution recognized for its stability, longevity, and resistance to moisture and mechanical influences.
  • LAMILUX High Strength X-treme: A roofing material that offers maximum resistance to hail damage. Compared to aluminum, it provides particularly effective protection against damage from severe weather, especially hail, making it essential for durable, reliable vehicle roofs.

GRP is the Winner

A particular highlight at our booth was the daily presentations and comparison contests for caravan and motorhome users. In these exciting competitions, customers had the opportunity to test the durability of glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) against aluminum using typical camping items such as pans, coffee mugs, or tent pegs. The clear winner of this comparison was GRP, which proved to be significantly more resilient. GRP has become an indispensable material in the caravaning industry due to its durability, weather resistance, and robustness.

The Caravan Salon Düsseldorf is considered one of the most important trade fairs for the motorhome and caravan industry worldwide. With over 750 exhibitors and more than 235,000 visitors, this year's fair was a resounding success.

LAMILUX Composites GmbH thanks all partners, customers, and visitors who visited our booth. We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration and to developing innovative solutions for the caravan industry in the future.
