Overview

Our GRP custom fabrication service brings your unique designs to life – from functional industrial components to striking artistic sculptures. Using lightweight, corrosion‑resistant glass reinforced plastic, we manufacture bespoke products that combine strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal, tailored exactly to your project specifications.

Key Features

• Unlimited Design Freedom – Complex curves, sharp angles, and intricate details are easily achieved with GRP moulding.

• Lightweight & Strong – Up to 75% lighter than steel or concrete, yet with exceptional impact resistance.

• Corrosion & Chemical Resistance – Ideal for harsh environments; chemical‑grade resins available for aggressive exposure.

• Weather & UV Resistant – Formulated to endure decades of direct sunlight, humidity, and temperature extremes.

• Custom Sizes & Finishes – Any dimension, colour, texture, or surface effect (e.g., wood grain, stone, metallic).

Typical Products

Functional & Industrial

• Planter boxes – for streetscapes, malls, and rooftop gardens.

• Covers & enclosures – for pumps, valves, electrical cabinets, and utility hatches.

• Gratings & flooring – anti‑slip walkways, trench covers, and drain gratings.

• Ducting & cable trays – for ventilation, cable management, and industrial ventilation.

• Tank covers & access hatches – lightweight, gas‑tight, and lockable.

Architectural & Decorative

• Custom sculptures – branded mascots, abstract art installations, and monument features.

• Decorative panels – feature walls, privacy screens, and perforated facades.

• Signage & lettering – three‑dimensional logos and wayfinding signs.

• Fountains & water features – seamless, leak‑proof basins and decorative spouts.

Sculptures & Art Pieces

• Life‑size statues – for theme parks, museums, and public plazas.

• Themed props – for cinema, exhibitions, and hospitality venues.

• Organic shapes – trees, rocks, waves – unachievable in traditional materials.

Fabrication Process

1. Design Consultation – Your sketches, CAD files, or reference images become a detailed 3D model.

2. Pattern & Mould Making – CNC machined or hand‑crafted patterns ensure perfect replication.

3. Laminating & Casting – Layers of glass fibre and resin built up by hand lay‑up, spray‑up, or infusion.

4. Finishing – Grinding, filling, priming, and painting to match your colour code (RAL, NCS, or custom).

5. Quality Control – Thickness checks, spark testing (for linings), and visual inspection.

6. Delivery & Installation – Packed for safe transport; on‑site assembly available.

Why Choose GRP Over Traditional Materials?

Versus Steel:

• No rust or corrosion – no painting required.

• Non‑conductive – safe near electrical equipment.

• Much lighter – reduces transport and installation costs.

Versus Concrete:

• One‑tenth the weight – no heavy lifting gear needed.

• Cracks do not propagate – GRP flexes without failure.

• Faster turnaround – moulding takes days, not weeks.

Versus Wood:

• Will not rot, warp, or suffer insect attack.

• No maintenance – never needs staining or sealing.

• Can replicate wood grain texture exactly.

Quality & Compliance

• Materials – Resins compliant with ISO 3673; glass fibre meets ASTM D578.

• Fire Performance – Fire‑retardant grades available (UL 94 V‑0, Class 1).

• Food Contact – FDA‑approved resins for potable water or food processing applications.

• Load Testing – Gratings and covers can be engineered to EN 124 (up to D400).
