GRP panels for plant construction

GRP panels (fibreglass) are lightweight, stable and durable. They do not corrode, are easy to machine and are also electrically insulating. Due to these properties, they have a very flexible field of application and offer a number of advantages over panels made of conventional materials, such as aluminium, metal, wood or thermoplastics.

The surface is smooth on one side and matt on the back.

Standard dimensions

The panel is available in 2.990 mm width and thickness of 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 5.5 mm.
