Traditional fencing and handrail systems made of steel, aluminum, or wood often fail in corrosive, outdoor, or high-traffic environments.
FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) fencing and handrails provide an innovative alternative, offering:
Corrosion resistance in marine and chemical settings.
Lightweight design for easier installation.
Electrical non-conductivity for safer workplaces.
Long service life with minimal maintenance.
For industrial and commercial projects, GTOFRP FRP fencing and handrails deliver cost-effective, durable, and safe solutions.
Non-corrosive, resistant to saltwater, chemicals, and UV exposure.
Modular design for quick installation.
Available in various colors and finishes for aesthetic appeal.
Industrial plants and factories
Coastal and marine environments
Electrical substations (non-conductive requirement)
Public facilities and schools
Transportation hubs and airports
Lightweight yet strong alternative to steel.
Slip-resistant surface for worker safety.
Modular system allows custom layouts.
Non-conductive, ensuring electrical safety.
Stairways and platforms in factories
Chemical plants and oil refineries
Power plants and substations
Public infrastructure (bridges, walkways)
GTOFRP Handrail Systems are engineered for maximum safety and durability.
Material | Initial Cost (per ft) | Maintenance Cost | Lifespan |
---|---|---|---|
FRP Fencing | $30 – $60 | Very Low | 25–30 years |
Steel Fencing | $20 – $40 | High (painting, rust repair) | 10–15 years |
Wood Fencing | $15 – $35 | High (rot, termites, repainting) | 5–10 years |
FRP Handrails | $40 – $70 | Very Low | 25–30 years |
Steel Handrails | $30 – $50 | Medium-High | 10–15 years |
Aluminum Handrails | $25 – $60 | Medium | 15–20 years |
Although FRP costs slightly more upfront, lifetime savings are substantial due to minimal upkeep.
Determine layout and load requirements.
Cut FRP profiles with diamond blade or carbide tools.
Use prefabricated FRP posts, rails, and panels.
Modular joints reduce labor time.
Fix to concrete, steel, or soil anchors depending on site.
Ensure structural stability and alignment.
For professional projects, GTOFRP offers complete installation support.
