ARCHITECTURAL
From domed roofs, porches, odour encapsulation
covers to industrial chimney liners, fonts and
fountains John R Boone - GRPlite have worked with
the unique properties of glass fibre and other
composites for over 40 years, finding their use
suitable for a wide range of products.
Our development and pattern making stage is most
important to ensure that the finished product is
functional and hardwearing, but practical and easy
to maintain glass fibre also offers advantages
that are not found in more conventional
constructional materials.
Fibreglass architectural parts can be manufactured
in any size, finish, texture or colour. The lightweight
strength of fibre glass has always made it a popular
choice for designers and manufacturers alike, Fibre
glass offers distinct advantages for a wide range of
products, its reduced weight and maintenance make
it very attractive on architectural projects.
John R Boone - GRPlite have manufactured for all
industries from Scientific to Chemical to Water from
Stately Home planters to a Philharmonic Hall canopy.
You see represented here just a selection of projects
and parts manufactured in the GRP composites a
very versatile material.
Its high strength to weight ratio make GRP/Glass
fibre an attractive lightweight material, additional
reinforcement can be added in specific locations to
build in extra strength where load and stress points
require it. When used for external applications,
fibre glass can offer a high resistance to
environmental extremes. Its durability gives fibre
glass an exceedingly long life span, coupled with
low maintenance requirements.
If harsh exterior environments are of concern,
glass fibre can provide resistance to ultra violet light,
extreme temperatures, salt and a variety of chemicals,
because fibre glass is chemically inert and corrosion
resistant it offers a cost effective alternative to
stainless steel.
