1. Lightweight and High Strength: Fiberglass has a density of only 1.5–2.0, which is merely one-fourth to one-fifth that of carbon steel. Despite this, its tensile strength is comparable to or even exceeds that of carbon steel. Its strength-to-weight ratio rivals that of high-grade alloy steel.
2. Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Fiberglass exhibits strong resistance to atmospheric conditions, water, and common concentrations of acids, bases, salts, oils, and solvents.
3. Superior Workability: Fiberglass can be molded flexibly based on statue shape, technical requirements, usage, and quantity. It supports simple manufacturing processes, enables one-time molding, and is cost-effective, especially for complex or low-volume statues.
4. Good Design Flexibility: Materials can be chosen to meet specific performance requirements. Fiberglass allows for the design of diverse structural art sculptures that ensure optimal functionality and integrity.

1. Aging Issues: Fiberglass, like other plastics, is prone to aging under UV exposure, weather conditions, chemical agents, and mechanical stress, leading to diminished performance.
2. Poor Long-Term Heat Resistance: Standard fiberglass loses strength beyond 50°C and is typically used below 100°C. While epoxy-based fiberglass performs better, it also weakens above 60°C. High-temperature-resistant resins can improve durability up to 200–300°C.
3. Low Elastic Modulus: Fiberglass has an elastic modulus significantly lower than steel, resulting in insufficient rigidity and susceptibility to deformation. This can be mitigated by adopting thin-shell structures, sandwich designs, or reinforcement methods such as high-modulus fibers or stiffeners.
