Gilcrest Manufacturing have the capabilities to bond glass reinforced plastic sheets directly to our composite panels, including aluminium honeycomb cores, to fabricate strong and lightweight GRP panels. The combination of our high-performance sandwich panels and GRP finishes provides light and durable panels for a huge number of applications, bespoke to each project.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glass reinforced plastic\u00a0(GRP) or\u00a0glass fibre-reinforced plastic\u00a0(GFRP), is a strengthened polymer made of a plastic reinforced by very fine fibres of glass. GRP is a lightweight, extremely robust and strong material.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s advantages include high tensile strength, resistance to corrosion\/chemicals and non-conductive characteristics. These benefits work together to deliver a cost effective and durable product. The strength to weight ratio also favours GRP when compared to some traditional materials.<\/p>\n

There are a massive range of different GRP finishes available to match precise applications and bespoke projects. These finishes include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
