The GRP Safety Range brings together our full collection of high-strength, corrosion-resistant Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) products designed to improve workplace safety, access, and compliance. This includes GRP ramps, platforms, step-over units, gratings and other access solutions suitable for industrial, commercial, and public environments.
Manufactured from hard-wearing, fire-retardant fibreglass with a superior anti-slip grit finish, our GRP products offer long-term performance in both internal and external settings. They are lightweight, easy to install and engineered to meet UK safety standards such as BS476 Part 7 (Class 1).
Whether you need to bridge over pipework, create safer walkways, improve accessibility, or upgrade slippery surfaces, our GRP Safety Range provides a cost-effective solution that will not rot, warp, or corrode.
Why Choose GRP for Safety and Access?
High slip-resistance – Aluminium oxide grit provides exceptional traction even in wet, icy, or oily environments.
Lightweight but strong – Easier to handle and install compared to steel alternatives.
Corrosion & chemical resistance – Ideal for factories, warehouses, marine environments and outdoor applications.
Fire rated – All standard GRP grating products meet BS476: Part 7 (Class 1).
Low maintenance – No painting or sealing required.
Cost-effective – Long service life reduces replacement and maintenance costs.
