GRP Walkways
GRP Walkways are designed for strength, safety, and longevity, utilising Glass Reinforced Plastic to provide reliable pedestrian access in multiple settings. These walkways are ideal for industrial and commercial environments, offering a low-maintenance and resistant alternative to traditional materials.
- Durability: GRP walkways are known for their exceptional durability. They resist corrosion, wear, and tear, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional materials, GRP requires minimal upkeep. It does not rust or corrode, which significantly reduces the need for regular maintenance.
- Safety: The material's non-slip surface enhances safety, especially in wet or oily conditions, making it ideal for industrial settings.
- Lightweight: GRP's lightweight nature facilitates easier and more cost-effective transportation and installation compared to heavier materials.
- Non-Conductive: GRP is non-conductive, making it safe for use in electrically sensitive environments.
- Chemical Resistance: It withstands exposure to a variety of chemicals, making it suitable for use in a range of industrial applications.
Customisable: GRP walkways can be tailored in size, colour, and finish to meet specific requirements, offering versatility in design and application.
GRP Walkways offer a secure and slip-resistant surface for individuals using platforms and pathways in various public settings.
GRP gratings can be found serving as walkways at various locations, including railways, industrial platforms, and bridges, addressing the elevated risk of slips, trips, and falls.
Engineered Composites stands as the leading supplier of GRP products, among which are our lightweight yet remarkably durable and robust GRP walkways and platforms.
- Open Mesh GRP Gratings: These walkways feature a grid-like open mesh structure, providing excellent drainage and air circulation. They are ideal for industrial applications where slip resistance and support are paramount.
- Mini Mesh GRP Gratings: Similar to open mesh gratings but with a smaller mesh size, these are suitable for areas where smaller objects need to be prevented from falling through while still ensuring good drainage and air flow.
- Solid Top GRP Panels: Offering a smooth, uninterrupted surface, these panels are perfect for walkways requiring a solid construction. They are often used in settings where a flat, stable walking surface is essential.
- GRP Moulded Stair Treads: Specifically designed for staircases, these threads provide a safe and durable stepping surface. They combine the strength and durability of GRP with a design that ensures high traction and safety on stairs.

What are the advantages of using GRP walkways?
GRP walkways offer a number of advantages especially when compared to traditional materials. They are a popular choice in various applications and for good reason too. GRP walkways are highly durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic, corrosive environments, and extreme weather conditions without significant degradation.
Are GRP walkways resistant to corrosion?
Yes, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) walkways are highly resistant to corrosion. GRP is inherently corrosion-resistant and is often used in environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive substances is a concern.
Are GRP walkways slip-resistant?
Yes, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) walkways are typically slip-resistant. GRP walkway surfaces are designed with safety in mind and are often engineered to provide excellent slip resistance. Key factors that contribute towards walkways being slip-resistant include; anti-slip coatings, weather resistance, and textured surfaces.
How long is the typical lifespan of GRP walkways?
Generally, well-maintained GRP walkways can last for several decades. In some cases, they may have a lifespan of 25 years or more. The timeframe and longevity of walkways can vary depending on a number of variable factors. These may include; usage and traffic, environmental conditions, and maintenance.
Can GRP walkways be customised?
When you choose Engineered Composites, you can be sure that your GRP walkways will be customised. Customisation is one of the many advantages of using GRP in various applications. Contact us today to discuss further regarding your bespoke requirements and specifications.
Are GRP walkways environmentally friendly?
