What Is GRP?


What does GRP stand for?

GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic, also known as composite plastic, FRP and it's more common name, fibreglass.

What is so special about GRP?

GRP is made up of lots of glass fibres which make an extremely strong, lightweight, non slip and flexible material which can be moulded into many shapes to create beautiful and practical structures.

What are the benefits of GRP?

Lightweight – The structure of GRP makes it extremely light, which is perfect for roof trims and other areas which can't hold much weight.

Flexible – The flexibility of GRP makes it ideal for moulding into all sorts of shapes.

Versatile – Different colours and textures can be added to GRP to create the perfect structure for you.

Durable – It's extremely difficult to break GRP as it does not melt and is chemical and corrosion resistant. It can be made stronger than steel and can withstand harsh conditions.

Affordable – GRP is cheap to design, manufacture and install, making it an affordable option to meet your needs.

Long Lasting – As the material is very durable, it requires a lot less upkeep and is extremely low maintenance. GRP can last up to 40 years or more without any measurable deterioration.

Non Slip –As it is made from woven glass fibres, this means it is non stick and therefore perfect for products such as bath tubs.
