In many cases, Fiberstruct’s GRP products are an excellent alternative to steel. By replacing steel with durable, maintenance-free GRP products, we are innovating and making the petrochemical and industrial sectors more sustainable.
Our team designs custom-made solutions that perfectly match the sometimes complex requirements of industrial projects.
Industrial sector
Industrial sector
Industry is a catch-all term for a diversity of activities in, among other things, the chemical industry. This world is all about efficiency, reliability, and safety. Glass fibre Reinforced Plastic (GRP) has become indispensable. Fiberstruct’s GRP products have a whole range of advantages over traditional steel, including lightweight construction, corrosion resistance, and longer service life. Our GRP solutions improve operational efficiency and significantly reduce maintenance costs.
The myriad benefits that plastics have to offer are increasingly being recognised and acknowledged, driving exponential growth in the industrial sector.

Fiberstruct is a leading manufacturer and supplier of GRP products for industry. With decades of experience and expertise, we are able to think along and deliver customised solutions that meet the strictest standards and specifications. Our team of experienced professionals in the Netherlands and Slovakia is available to help design, manufacture, and install GRP solutions for any type of industrial project.
In-house engineering
In-house engineering
In addition to delivering gratings, we can provide engineering and static calculations to ensure the right choice of gratings for any situation, considering the loads and (steel) drawings.
We also optimize the layout of the gratings using 2D and 3D engineering software to minimize cutting waste and ensure the best fixation method. By engineering and marking the gratings, we save costs by reducing installation time.
Why to choose GRP over steel
Why to choose GRP over steel
Fiberstruct is your partner for glass fibre reinforced plastic gratings, handrails, guardrails, ladders, and other structural product needs. Our professional engineering and production team will assist you from start to finish to find the right solution to meet your needs in terms of sustainability, safety, and cost. The many advantages include:
GRP is corrosion-resistant and requires less maintenance than steel
The durability and corrosion resistance of Fiberstruct GRP gratings and other GRP products reduce or eliminate the need for major maintenance such as sandblasting, scraping, and painting. In fact, most Fiberstruct products are easy to clean with a pressure washer.
Non-conductive
Your team’s safety is your top priority. Fiberstruct GRP products are non-conductive and have a higher friction factor than steel, reducing the risk of electric shock and slip injuries. GRP is the clear choice for safer structural products.
GRP is up to 70% lighter than steel with a high strength-to-weight ratio
Fiberstruct GRP has a high strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional materials such as metal, concrete, and wood. GRP gratings can even be strong enough to carry vehicle loads while weighing less than steel gratings.
Corrosion-resistant
Fiberstruct glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) products are known for their ability to provide corrosion resistance in the most demanding environments, as well as exposure to chemicals. Unlike metal and wood, GRP products will not rust or corrode and will retain structural integrity over time.
Fiberstruct offers the largest selection of resin compositions for products, each specifically developed to meet specific environmental and performance requirements. Check out Fiberstruct’s Chemical Resistance Guide to help you choose the best Fiberstruct resin for your application environment.
Anti-slip / Slip-resistant
Fiberstruct’s GRP gratings and stairs provide a superior, slip-resistant surface in wet and oily environments. Steel becomes slippery when oily or wet, but Fiberstruct gratings have a higher friction factor and remain safe even when wet. Fiberstruct’s slip-resistant products increase worker safety, which will lead to fewer workplace accidents and a reduction in injury-related costs.
