Industrial Flooring
GRP is perfect for industrial flooring in settings such as factories, warehouses and the like. This is because it’s easy to install, lightweight, tough, slip resistant and also low maintenance so the working area can operate seamlessly without the need of regular replacements.
In industrial workplaces, there is a series of processes happening on repeat as well as people roaming an area at all times. This means the human traffic volume in the building will be high. You therefore need a flooring that will not need much attention, will withstand lots of steps onto it and look good at all times. GRP flooring ticks all these boxes and more.
Platforms
Platforms are perfect to be made from GRP too because of the rigid and robust nature of the material as well as other properties. A platform by design is made to be higher than the floor so you need a material that is light enough to be above ground but also strong enough to hold the weight of the person or object standing on it. GRP is ideal for this purpose which is why many people use it for platforms.
Construction Purposes
In construction, you’ll see a lot of GRP service risers because they’re easy to install across various services such as ventilation, ductwork, pipework, wires and more. They’re also strong enough to take a person’s weight when walking across the service risers but they’re lightweight too to remove when you need to get down to the services themselves.
Retail Purposes
GRP is a fantastic material for flooring for shops, stores and catwalks in fashion too. Thanks to the way GRP is made, it has lots of performance quality as well as visual qualities. You can almost tailor the colour you want which is why it’s prevalent in the retail space because businesses will have it put down in their brand colours. This looks fantastic and is a brilliant way to make cross functionality with aesthetics.
