What is a FRP Door?

FRP stands for ‘Fibre Reinforced Polymer’ a material made from a polymer resin, which is reinforced by chopped strand mat glass fibres to form a FRP laminate.

It is a very popular composite material to use because not only is it very strong but also surprisingly light. Invented by Russel Games in 1938 it was originally used on boats and water containers but has since been developed and become one of the most widely used materials in the construction industry.

FRP is more commonly known as fibreglass – a durable, lightweight, flexible, fully reinforced and waterproof material capable of being moulded to any shape.

Benefits of FRP Doors

They’re light, require very little maintenance, have a high resistance to denting, warping, bowing, twisting, splitting, peeling, flaking, cracking and fading, making them extremely durable. Ulti Hygienic FRP doors can be used across a wide variety of areas but are ideally suited to areas requiring maximum hygiene, cleanability and durability. This makes them particularly suited to pharmaceutical, food, health, retail and leisure environments.
