Why use GRP?

GRP has many desirable properties, including a high strength-to-weight ratio, strong durability, flexibility in shape/colour/texture, easy maintenance, long-life expectancy and total resistance to corrosion. As a result of these qualities, it is an extremely useful material for a wide range of applications in a number of different industries. Applications for composites are rapidly evolving. Reduced mass, corrosion resistance and superior weight-strength ratios offer significant benefits in the built environment. From an initial range of niche uses to industry-wide delivery, the potential for implementation is limited only by creative design and imagination.

Is GRP expensive?

GRP is an economical material. Compared to stainless steel, GRP is more affordable and, as a result of its long-life expectancy, it is a worthwhile investment for businesses.

 

Why is GRP used?

The use of GRP is growing. As more and more industries discover the desirable properties of this material, its use is expanding. GRP is beginning to replace materials including steel and wood. It is a safe material to use where electricity, chemicals, corrosive substances or heavy loads are regularly in the vicinity. These composites have generated exciting results in bridges, buildings, structures and retro fitting protective profiles because they are are lighter, stronger and quicker to build.
