GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic (or Polymer).
You may also know it as FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) or even as Fibreglass.
They are all a blend of recycled plastic, recycled glass and a tough waterproof resin to bond it all together.
This mixture is then moulded into the required shape - whether that's a panel of open mesh or grating to use as flooring or fencing, or long, smooth profiles used to build the framework of a structure.
An extra layer, embedded with sharp quartz grit, is often added to the top to create a slip-resistant surface that remains effective in wet, icy or even oily conditions.

If your business is based in, on or beside water - especially saltwater - you'll know the difficulties of keeping steel or wooden structures in tip-top condition.
One of the harshest working environments, wet surfaces are a given, so an anti-slip solution is a high priority.
Whether that's for keeping club members safe as they access their leisure boats or protecting dock workers from slips and falls as they go about their work, Step on Safety offers a range of options from beautiful composite decking to industrial phenolic open mesh grating for use on offshore structures.

From power stations and waste recycling sites to manufacturing and processing plants, heavy machinery requires heavy-duty solutions to ensure safe maintenance access to control panels and storage tanks.
Steps and Floors have an anti-slip finish that is effective in wet, icy or oily conditions so, no matter what gets spilled, the risk of slips and falls is kept to a minimum.
We can supply mesh or decking for you to make your own improvements or we can build a complete solution and have one of our specialist installation teams install it for you, making any adjustments necessary to ensure a perfect fit.

Manufactured for maximum performance, QuartzGrip Open Mesh Grating provides unbeatable slip-resistance in wet, icy or oily conditions, helping to keep people safe from slips and falls.
The open mesh design prevents liquids from pooling and allows air circulation while catching falling items and debris to avoid damage to what's below.
Installation is fast and cost-effective; GRP is lighter than steel, reducing the need for lifting equipment, and it's non-sparking when cut, eliminating the fire risks associated with hot works on site.

QuartzGrip Solid Top GRP Grating is a lightweight, chemical resistant, heavy duty option, suitable for areas where a fully covered surface is required such as walkways, gullies, trenches, cooling towers, overhead gantries and railway crossing points.
Its anti-slip surface makes it suitable for all levels of foot traffic and its high load-bearing capabilities also makes it suitable for areas with vehicular traffic.
Effectively produced by fusing anti-slip Flat Plate to one or both sides of an Open Mesh panel, the extra layer(s) add strength and prevent dirt and debris from falling to the surface below.

A cost effective, alternative to steel, aluminium and timber, Step on Safety's Universal GRP Structural Profiles offer excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
GRP Profiles are used in many industrial applications including riser flooring, access platform walkways, pedestrian bridges, steps & walkways, worker access to machinery, manufacturing plants, water treatment works, offshore wind & oil facilities and many railway trackside and depot applications.
Lightweight fibre glass does not require heavy lifting equipment making it easier and cheaper to transport and install.

GRP handrails and GRP fencing offer a long-lasting alternative to steel versions and boast inherent advantages.
In addition to the high strength and stability you'd expect from any handrail or fencing, composite versions are lightweight, making them easier to install.
The material is weather-resistant, corrosion and chemical resistant and self-coloured - so never fades or needs painting.
It's low thermal conductivity makes it warmer to touch and it has no recycle value so won't appeal to opportunistic scrap metal thieves.

Our in-house CAD Engineers produce detailed drawings and 3D renders of the GRP solutions for you to agree before work starts.
Working with AutoCAD software, the drawings enable us to ensure any load specifications are met, ensuring your Health & Safety requirements are satisfied.
A detailed site survey will be required; we can do that for you or you can supply the information yourself.
Depending on the location this can vary from simple measurements and a photo or two, to detailed topographical surveys listing the geology and vegetation.

We build each construction at our headquarters in Suffolk before sending it out for installation.
This not only saves time on site but enables us to check the design and build quality, making any adjustments as required.
The fabrication teams are experts at dealing with GRP materials and enjoy coming up with creative solutions to the unique challenges each project presents.
Once complete, it's delivered to the customer for installation - by us or by their own engineers.
Where possible, items are delivered pre-fabricated but larger pieces may need to be supplied in sections to get them onto the delivery vehicle.

The product is just right for the application we had. It was straightforward and easy to deal with Step on Safely and the product arrived within the time frame promised. The reason for the 4 stars rather than the 5, which if it was the product alone it would have been, is that total experience includes the delivery. When delivering to the private address where the project was, the carrier damaged/broke items in the persons garden which the client was not to pleased about.
I appreciate that this is outside the control of the supplier, however the whole transaction was spoilt by this outside element. To reiterate though, the product is very good.
