Fibreglass is a strong lightweight material and is used for many products. Although it is not as strong and stiff as composites based on carbon fibre, it is less brittle, and its raw materials are much cheaper. Its bulk strength and weight are also better than many metals, and it can be more readily moulded into complex shapes. Uses Aircraft, boats, high performance cars, bath tubs, swimming pools, hot tubs, septic tanks, water tanks, roofing, pipes, surfboards, and door skins. GRP’s physical properties allow it to be easily moulded and manufactured to meet almost any specifications and with GRP, there are few limits on size, shape, colour or finish. GRP reduces the products weight and requires less maintenance making it highly attractive over more traditional materials like timber, metal or brick.

Glass‐reinforced plastic (GRP), is a composite material made of a plastic reinforced by fine fibres made of glass. Like carbon fibre reinforced plastic, the composite material is commonly referred to by the name of its reinforcing fibres (fibreglass).
