Gable (UK) Ltd approached GRP Building Products to supply a lightweight solution for the refurbishment of Eastleigh Train Station.

Our specialist team created slate effect cladding for the footbridge roof, lift shaft roof and dormer flashings, as well as lead effect flashings for finishing.

In 2009 a developer built 8 apartment blocks as Social Housing. Due to weight restrictions on the development, the lightweight nature of our cladding products provided an ideal solution for this project. GRP Building Products were commissioned to provide 2.4 metre high grp brick effect cladding panels to be fitted directly to wooden batons, which themselves housed a waterproof membrane and insulation. The pale powder shown on the photographs was trimming dust, which was hosed off on completion.

Our innovative GRP gloss tile effect panels were utilised for the refurbishment of a school cafeteria. They are easy and quick to install, without the mess of traditional tiling methods.

The panels are mould-resistant and easy to clean, providing a perfect solution for applications in the catering industry.

A solution was needed to create an aesthetically pleasing finish to a portacabin development at a primary school. The space created for additional classrooms needed to match the existing buildings and had to be installed during the summer holiday shutdown period. GRP Building Products were asked to provide grp brick effect cladding that was colour matched exactly to the existing structures. This was easily fitted by contract carpenters who had never used grp cladding before.

GRP Building Products has supplied a bespoke brick effect base for a Victorian Glass Show House which was displayed at RHS Tatton 2010.

The base was commissioned by Cambridge Glasshouse Company, one of the UK’s leading producers of retail structures, commercial glasshouses and associated equipment, for their new Victorian Glass House to be showcased at gardening and outdoor events.

GRP Building Products Ltd have designed a pioneering solution which provides an alternative to a wooden fence and a cheaper option to building a brick wall.

The Easi-Wall system is made up of brick effect fibreglass panels and post covers.  The system is deliberately designed around the standard garden concrete fence post, making it easy to install and at the fraction of the cost of building a brick wall. The panels are totally waterproof and maintenance free.

The customer was unable to build a brick wall due to a tree preservation order, so the Easi-Wall system provided the perfect solution.

GRP Building Products were approached to supply brickwork cladding panels, stone effect window sills, plinth, chimney and pots for this special project at the Chelsea Flower Show.

The structure is a replica of one of engineer Thomas Telford’s famous Holyhead to London Toll Houses.  Telford & Wrekin Council chose the design for Chelsea to celebrate the 250^th anniversary of Thomas Telford’s birth.

It was an ideal project to show off the lightweight, quick to assemble products to a large audience.  No one could tell that the brick was not real – even the judges were fooled!

The design won a Silver Flora award.

A homeowner in Hagley contacted GRP Building Products with a requirement for an alternative to a brick built garage. Traditional construction would have required foundations for which planning had been refused due to tree preservation orders. By using grp brick effect cladding panels to match the house, the builder was able construct a timber frame garage instead. The installation was completed in 2 days.

Originally a steel framed factory building with a coated metal profile inner skin, this was a perfect candidate for brick effect cladding.

The metal was clad with plywood to affix the grp brick effect panels on to, giving the finished effect of a traditional brick construction.

A homeowner asked GRP Building Products to supply some Easi-Wall panels and post covers to fit standard concrete garden fence posts, in a buff brick to match the property.

These panels were bonded to standard fence panels, are available in different heights and are easily fitted.

A homeowner contacted GRP Building Products to install our Easi-Wall system which has been deliberately designed around the standard concrete garden fence post. This system makes installation very easy, either from scratch or allowing easy conversion of an existing fence, with just the addition of the Easi-Wall panels and post covers.

Panels are available as brick both sides or with one side bonded to a Stryrowood trellis. Styrowood is made from recycled non-biodegradeable plastics, is completely waterproof and maintenance free.

In 2004 a building company needed to find a solution to building gable ends that had no footings to support the weight of the structure. GRP was commissioned to provide grp brick effect cladding panels which could be easily installed onto a timber frame affixed to the property.
