Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) is a composite laminate material including glass fibres to reinforce a plastic, typically a polyethylene (PE) resin. GRP is strong, lightweight, weather-resistant and heat resistant. It is also commonly referred to as glass reinforced polyester, glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP), fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) or fibre reinforced polymer (FRP).
GRP is made by laying the glass fibres in two or three dimensions and embedding them into the plastic resin. This is typically done through moulding. GRP is thus available in multiple shapes, including flat sheets and curved objects.
GRP can be used for roofing, storage tanks, door and window surrounds, piping and cladding.
