Enhancing perimeter protection with GRP palisade fencing

Need to improve your site’s security, but don’t want the hassle of constant upkeep? Enter GRP palisade fencing: a durable and lightweight fencing solution that protects your premises from unauthorised access and environmental damage. Thanks to its long-term reliability and minimal maintenance requirements, GRP fencing is quickly becoming the go-to alternative for all types of commercial and industrial sites. 

Here’s why more and more businesses are making the switch to GRP palisade fencing…

What is GRP fencing?

Also known as fibreglass, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is a composite material made by combining plastic with fine glass fibres. This results in an extremely strong material that’s significantly lighter than steel, yet tough enough for hazardous and high-security applications.

GRP palisade fencing is non-conductive and corrosion-resistant, resulting in no rust and enhanced safety in electrical environments. It’s also self-coloured, meaning there’s no painting or ongoing maintenance required. When you install GRP fencing panels, you’re investing in a reliable fencing solution that’s guaranteed to stand the test of time. 

Why choose GRP fencing?

Here’s what makes GRP fencing an ideal choice for your commercial or industrial site:

• Lightweight – Up to four times lighter than steel, which makes transportation and installation much easier
• Strong – GRP has a comparable tensile strength to steel, with excellent impact resistance
• Low maintenance – GRP doesn’t rust or need repainting, making it ideal for long-term use
• Non-conductive – Thanks to its non-conductive and non-sparking nature, GRP is ideal for electrical applications
• Weatherproof – Can withstand harsh conditions such as UV light, extreme moisture, and chemical exposure
• Customisable – Can be easily cut and assembled on-site, making installation quick and fuss-free

Where does GRP palisade fencing work best?

GRP palisade fences are specifically designed for high-risk environments that demand stringent security measures. Examples of these include:

• Electrical & utility sites – GRP is often used in electrical substations and railways due to its non-conductive nature 
• Chemical & water treatment plants – GRP is resistant to chemical corrosion, making it ideal for wet and hazardous environments
• Coastal locations – GRP is UV-resistant and unaffected by salty air, making it the go-to choice for sites in coastal locations
• High-security premises – The spiked finish of GRP palisade fences help to deter intruders by preventing climbing
