FAQs

Why choose a GRP platform?

Designed to make navigating surroundings less hazardous and more time-efficient, the last thing you need is the inconvenience of platforms and walkways that require constant maintenance. It’s for this reason that equipment manufactured from glass reinforced plastic is such a great investment.

Extremely durable, hardy to the elements, non-conductive, resistant to corrosion, and with a built-in anti-slip surface, with platforms and walkways made from GRP you’re investing in a long term and cost-effective solution.

Characteristically lightweight, platforms made from GRP are quick and easy to manoeuvre and relocate on site when required. Making them a simple and convenient solution for all your access needs.

What types of platforms are available?

Providing walkways and platforms that are fit for purpose is essential for optimum safety.

There are a number of different options on the market, including:

– Step over – as the name suggests this type of platform is designed to act as a bridge allowing users to safely navigate over hazardous areas.

– Fixed – ideal for busy areas incurring a high level of footfall, these walkways are fixed permanently into place for added security.

– Bespoke – designed entirely around their intended location, bespoke platforms offer maximum practicality, usability and safety.

Regardless of the complexity of your requirements, our experienced team here at HR Kilns, are committed to achieving exactly the results you need. So whatever the specifications of your GRP walkway or platform, for expert advice on the right solution for your setting, get in touch with the team.

Add that to the fact GRP is inherently cost-effective thanks to its minimal maintenance requirements and durability, and the long-term savings associated with a GRP walkway or platform soon become clear.
