Turnaround


We pride ourselves on our fast turnaround times and efficient work processes within the factory. Each product is carefully curated with the finest of details accounted for, and not to mention our staff who produce these products are fully trained.




Materials


Our products are made with the finest and most durable Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) so your project can withstand the elements and the test of time. Read about our materials here: https://www.grpcovers.com/post/is-fibreglass-bad-for-the-environment



Due to its composition, fibreglass is known for its very low embodied energy ─ the total energy required to produce a product from the raw materials stage through the delivery of fibreglass products.



With the advent of technology, it is now possible to recycle most items, fibreglass included. The recycled fibreglass can be included in the manufacture of outdoor furniture, bus seats, spray insulation, boats, and many other items.



Fibreglass is a natural choice when you're seeking energy-efficient, green, sustainable solutions.
