GRP Enclosures
What is a GRP enclosure?
GRP or glass-reinforced plastic enclosures are fibreglass housings designed to offer protection and security for essential equipment, electronics, switchgear and pipework. They are most commonly found trackside, roadside or on construction, manufacture or utility sites. The housing may just contain electronics, switchgear, EV charging or communications equipment, or it may be a larger enclosure enabling your workforce to stay protected from the elements or other dangers while they work.
At Fibaform, we specialise in crafting GRP enclosures that offer cost-effective solutions when durability and environmental protection are essential. Our enclosures are meticulously constructed from virtually maintenance-free glassfibre, with each one uniquely tailored to meet your precise operational requirements.
Customised GRP buildings
Fibaform takes pride in providing a comprehensive one-stop solution for your GRP cabinets, manufacturing enclosures to meet your exact requirements from design to delivery and installation. Our GRP enclosures are available in sizes ranging from a compact 1.0m x 1.0m x 1.2m to a large 20.0m x 6.0m x 3.5m and everything in between.
Additionally, our glass-reinforced enclosures can be supplied with an internal flange for fixing to a prepared concrete or steel base. All enclosures are available in any colour from the RAL or BS ranges to align with your aesthetics. This includes a range of finishes such as gloss, satin, brick or stone.
