We’ are not against steel…!
In fabrication every material has its place.
The fact is that for safe, robust and cost effective handrails, walkways and pedestrian access, GRP composite products outperform steel and other traditional products hands down.
FACT 1
The Cost of Corrosion to UK Businesses currently stands at a staggering £46 billion per annum this includes downtime, maintenance and replacement of material
FACT 2
Our advanced composite structural products are changing how specifiers think about building design, our products and ideas are nurturing a radically new approach to pedestrian access
WHAT IS GRP/FRP (GLASS/ FIBRE REINFORCED PLASTIC)?
GRP stands for 'Glass fibre Reinforced Plastics', also referred to as 'Fibreglass‘ Composite Plastics. It is an amazingly versatile material, and one that is now being recognised in the industry, and has truly immense potential across a wide spectrum of applications
Basically, GRP consists of thermosetting resins and glass fibre.
All our GRP products regarding the composing of these ingredients and choosing the right resins best winding techniques and glass fibre components, guarantee the quality and the benefits of the materials which in combination result in a very strong and rigid material.
It is very strong –yet very lightweight with the tremendous energy absorption properties
