An abbreviation for ‘glassfibre reinforced plastic’, GRP is also referred to as 'fibreglass'. An amazingly versatile material, GRP has great potential across a wide variety of applications and has successfully been used for decades as a strong, lightweight construction material on ocean going yachts, racing cars, swimming pools etc.   What are the benefits of GRP? In essence, GRP is a 'plastic', but it displays very few of the less favourable properties of the conventional 'thermoplastics' that we use everyday:-    Superb Strength GRP is very strong and has almost seven times the flexural strength of steel.    Amazing Flexibility As the finished effect of a GRP structure is achieved by pouring molten material into a specially formulated mould, the final finish can be made to emulate a number of naturally occurring textures, such as timber, tile or stone.    Extremely Lightweight The material is extremely lightweight which makes installation of the canopies much simpler than its traditional timber counterparts.    Easy to Maintain GRP is very easy to clean and maintain. Simply wash down with soap and warm water to help maintain a bright, fresh look – best of all, no more painting!    Heat & U-V Resistant Offers high levels of water resistance and will not buckle or distort in high temperatures.
