How does GRP Flooring help?
GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic. The main property of GRP Flooring is its gritty, slip resistant nature. This makes it perfect for use on stairs and outdoor areas reducing the risk of slips, trips and falls. Here’s a closer look at how our GRP flooring products can transform your walkways:
-
GRP Stair Nosing: This range features high contrast colours that are easily installed onto stairs and are slip tested to DIN 51130 (R13) & BS 7976-2 providing a low slip potential.
-
GRP Stair Treads: These stair treads cover your stairs with a gritted surface which helps to prevent falls in icy or wet environments.

Why GRP Flooring is the Smartest Choice for Industrial Environments
GRP flooring is a must-have in industrial environments due to the hazard slippery surfaces pose to a workplace. For example, transporting heavy goods or industrial machinery down large walkways and ramps could increase the risk of injury without the added protection of GRP flooring. You can also benefit from:
-
Exceptional Slip Resistance and Safety: GRP flooring provides superior grip and traction even in wet, icy or even oily conditions, significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls in both indoor and outdoor environments.
-
Outstanding Durability and Longevity: Made from glass-reinforced plastic, GRP flooring is extremely robust and can withstand heavy foot traffic, harsh weather conditions and industrial environments without cracking, warping or deteriorating.
-
Low Maintenance Requirements: GRP flooring is easy to clean and maintain, requiring only basic washing to remove dirt and debris, while its non-porous surface resists staining and doesn’t harbour bacteria or contaminants.
-
Weather and Chemical Resistance: GRP flooring performs excellently in all weather conditions and resists damage from chemicals, oils and corrosive substances, making it ideal for industrial applications and outdoor installations.
-
Cost-Effective Long-Term Solution: While GRP flooring may have higher initial costs than some alternatives, its exceptional durability and minimal maintenance requirements provide excellent value over its extended lifespan, reducing replacement and upkeep expenses.

FAQs
What does GRP stand for?
GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic, which is a composite material made from plastic resin reinforced with glass fibres. This combination creates a lightweight yet extremely strong and durable material that’s widely used in construction and industrial applications.
What flooring is best for non-slip?
GRP flooring is among the best options for non-slip applications due to its textured surface that provides excellent grip even in wet conditions. Other effective non-slip flooring options include rubber matting, anti-slip vinyl and specialised safety flooring with embedded aggregates.
What is the life expectancy of GRP flooring?
GRP flooring sheets typically have a life expectancy of 15-25 years or more, depending on the specific application and environmental conditions. With proper installation and minimal maintenance, high-quality GRP flooring can often exceed these timeframes, making it an excellent long-term investment.
