Why GRP
- Will not rust, rot or corrode, even near the coast
- Does not conduct electricity, which suits plant rooms and roofs with equipment
- Lightweight, so it is quicker to install and puts less load on a roof
- Coloured all the way through, usually safety yellow, so it never needs painting
- Warmer to the touch than metal
What we install
- GRP handrails for steps, ramps and routes
- GRP guardrails around roof edges, hatches and plant

Common questions
Is GRP as strong as steel?
For handrails, guardrails and walkways, GRP systems are designed to carry the loads required for these uses, at a fraction of the weight of steel.
Can GRP go on a flat roof without drilling through it?
Yes. GRP walkways and freestanding guardrails can sit on the roof surface on protective pads, so the waterproofing is not punctured.
