Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic fencing solutions have been successfully installed, especially around railway stations and substations. In addition to its intrinsic characteristic of low electrical conductivity, these FRP fences are corrosion resistant and impact resistant, making them highly durable and resistant to damage, including graffiti.
Join the Resistance
In the event of a hard impact, steel fences absorb energy and yields under stress. This deforms the fence, which then acts as a catalyst to other structural challenges. In the same instance, FRP is designed to withstand impact. The fibreglass fibres within the product absorb and distribute impact loads, reducing stress concentration.
FRP products with the colour pigments integrated, instead of having a surface coat, are also resistant to harsh paint removers. This is especially useful when someone who considers themselves an artist of sorts, decides to share their (unwanted) artwork with the greater public.

Is Steel Really More Affordable?
Let’s talk about this. FRP has a longer life than steel. It is lighter and has higher strength-to-weight ratio. Being lighter, you save on transportation, the use of heavy machinery, and related labour costs, and requires minimal maintenance.

As Kermit says – It's Not Easy Being Green. Or is it?
We mean being earth-friendly. The longevity of FRP, coupled with the lower emissions in production, transportation and installation, make this the greener choice.
