In this study Mechanical properties of basalt (B)/glass (G) reinforced epoxy composites was investigated. Composite laminates were fabricated by using hand layup process. Each laminate consists of five layers of fabrics and resin mixture as per stacking sequence. Six different kinds of laminates were prepared with filler materials (coconut shell powder and aerosel).Different kinds of laminates were prepared in the following stacking sequence B/B/B/B/B, G/G/G/G/G, and B/G/B/G/B with coconut shell powder, B/B/B/B, G/G/G/G/G, and B/G/B/G/B with filler aerosel. The Specimen preparation and test was carried out as per ASTM standards. Mechanical properties like tensile strength, impact strength were evaluated and compared. It was observed that maximum tensile and impact strength was accrued in hybrid composite laminate 6 with aerosel filler materials.
