Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP)


GRP is not a "new" product but has recently emerged as a great solution to many Safety and Access requirements. It is particulary suited to areas that require a barrier, flooring or additional grip due to high footfall. Being able to purchase GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) in this wide variety of forms ensures it is an effective choice for a diverse range of industries and sectors.

Simply, GRP is made up of Glass Fibres, Resin, Additives and Colouring.
 

The main strengths of GRP are that it is:

  • Corrosion Resistant and Hardwearing
  • Flexible with excellent Impact Absorption

Typical applications of GRP are:

  • Handrails and Walkways (both modular and pre-fabricated)
