Posted by UK Home Improvement on 22nd April 2022 -

GRP products are becoming increasingly popular for residential properties and homeowners.  Although GRP products are widely supplied for industry and commercial purposes, companies just like Engineered Composites are also able to supply high-quality GRP products to homeowners. The main products readily available to order includes GRP mesh fencing, GRP palisade fencing, and anti-slip flooring. 

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS & FEATURES

There are many reasons why GRP has now overtaken many alternate materials, such as timber and aluminium, when you break down the characteristics and features. As life seems to be getting busier and busier, people are looking for products that require minimal maintenance whilst also providing maximum value for money. And that’s exactly what you get with GRP products. GRP offers high corrosion resistance and is highly tolerant of extreme weather conditions that the UK is starting to face on a regular basis. Moreover, GRP also has an incredibly long life cycle, especially when compared to alternate materials, with the typical lifestyle of a GRP product expected to be around 15-20 years depending on the surrounding environment. Fundamentally, GRP provides a long-term solution for homeowners that overcomes today’s challenges.

 

GRP MESH FENCING

Companies just like Engineered Composites are able to provide GRP mesh fencing for residential customers and homeowners that are looking for a long-term and practical fencing solution that requires very little maintenance. If you’re looking for a fencing solution that combines attractiveness in design with practicality, GRP mesh fencing might just be the best option to consider. Mesh fencing is available to be constructed to any size that you require and it can also be well utilised for gates too. Although GRP mesh fencing is commonly used for industrial purposes, there is a clear rise in residential customers using this type of fencing in gardening areas. 

GRP mesh fencing is particularly popular for residents and homeowners that are looking to improve security around their property and to safeguard children and pets. One of the main benefits of this type of fencing is the fact that it’s one of the best security fencing that boasts a robust and safe design. 

 

GRP PALISADE FENCING

GRP Palisade Fencing is also becoming a highly popular product amongst residential homeowners. If you’re looking for a type of fencing that is seriously good for security and prevents potential intruders from gaining access to your land, we highly recommend this type of fencing. This type of fencing is arguably more suited to much larger properties that may be located on farm land or in isolation with little cover nearby. Similarly to GRP mesh fencing, once palisade fencing is fully installed it requires little maintenance which means you won’t have to worry about the upkeep of your fencing for the years to come.

GRP Palisade Fencing is available in a wide range of heights and sizes to suit your specific requirements and if the the purpose of your purchase is strictly for security purposes only, the height can be increased to deter intruders once and for all. 

 

ANTI-SLIP FLOORING

GRP Anti-Slip Flooring is another highly popular GRP product on today’s market that is gaining more and more traction. Anti-slip flooring can be professionally installed in residential bathrooms and even home gyms. Particularly in bathrooms, there is a clear risk of slipping and sustaining potential injury which is why anti-slip flooring is such a fantastic option. GRP anti-slip flooring provides outstanding durability and the main properties include incredible strength and zero maintenance. Furthermore, if you have a home gym within your property, you will also benefit from GRP anti-slip flooring. Anti-Slip products can be easily installed onsite. Our competitive pricing enables us to offer a direct alternative to galvanised steel and aluminium.

 

FURTHER BENEFITS

GRP products pose a wide range of benefits for residential customers and homeowners. GRP products are surprisingly really cost-effective, especially when compared to alternate materials such as steel or aluminium, which means you can get great value for money. Furthermore, GRP products are also highly versatile so all products can be constructed specifically to your requirements and specifications. This is a result of the moulding process that goes into creating GRP. The last benefit is the fact that GRP is generally a very attractive material and can look appealing on the eye.
