Fiberglass reinforced panels, also known as FRP panels, are a versatile and durable building material commonly used in a wide range of applications, including walls, ceilings, and partitions. These panels are made from a strong, lightweight composite material that is composed of a fiberglass mat reinforced with a plastic polymer.
One of the main advantages of FRP panels is their strength and durability. They are resistant to impact, chemicals, and moisture, making them ideal for use in high-traffic areas, as well as in environments where resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion is important.
FRP panels are also easy to clean and maintain, which makes them ideal for use in healthcare facilities, food processing plants, and other environments where cleanliness and sanitation are a priority.
Another benefit of FRP panels is their versatility. They are available in a wide range of colors, sizes, and finishes, making it easy to match them to the aesthetic of any building. They can be used both indoors and outdoors, and can be installed in various ways, including as a laminate to an existing surface, or as a standalone panel.
In terms of installation, FRP panels are relatively simple to install and can be cut and shaped on site to fit any space. They can be installed by professional installers or by those with some DIY skills.
Overall, FRP panels are a strong, durable, and versatile building material that is suitable for a wide range of applications. They offer a variety of benefits such as strength, durability, easy maintenance, and versatility in terms of design and installation.
Most commercial kitchens inside restaurants and restroom in public places use a mixture of FRP, stainless steel wall panels and tile. Some concepts, however, put up tile where FRP could be an option. Sometimes architectural drawings will specify tile, but the owner makes a smart choice by requesting FRP instead. Other times an owner will put tile where FRP is specified. We may be biased, but if you’re looking to save time and money, always go with FRP. A lot has changed in the last 5-10 years and decorative paneling is even chosen for front of the house.
