FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) panels are composite sheets made from fiberglass reinforcement and thermosetting resin. The laminate structure provides rigidity, impact resistance, and long-term stability in areas where moisture, chemicals, or frequent cleaning occur. FRP sheets are commonly used as interior wall and ceiling coverings, paneling systems, protective cladding, and industrial surface solutions.
Key characteristics include:
Lightweight structure
Moisture and corrosion resistance
Stable surface finish
Hygienic and easy to maintain
Good impact resistance
Long lifespan even in harsh environments
FRP panels have become a preferred option in sectors where durability and sanitation are essential.
The manufacturing process typically includes:
Fiberglass mat reinforcement placement
Thermosetting resin application and saturation
Curing under controlled conditions
Surface finish lamination
Panel cutting, trimming, and inspection
Engineer-focused notes:
Reinforcement weight impacts stiffness and bending strength
Resin formulation determines surface hardness and chemical resistance
Curing consistency ensures dimensional stability
Surface finish options influence hygiene performance
GTOFRP™ uses controlled production lines designed for stable laminate thickness and uniform fiberglass distribution.
Used in commercial interiors, restrooms, and public facilities.
Lightweight and suitable for moisture-prone ceilings or sanitary rooms.
Enhanced fiberglass content for higher rigidity and impact resistance.
Improved slip and stain resistance; commonly used in kitchens or food plants.
Resin systems modified for enhanced fire behavior when required.
Large sheets or special formulations for industrial and OEM applications.
FRP panels are unaffected by long-term humidity, making them ideal for restrooms, processing rooms, and washdown environments.
Panels are easier to handle compared to metal or solid PVC panels.
The fiberglass structure ensures surface flatness even with temperature or humidity variation.
Suited for storage rooms, corridors, or facilities with carts and equipment.
Smooth or embossed surfaces support routine cleaning and sanitation.
Panels can be produced in multiple thickness levels based on environmental load.

FRP offers the best balance between durability, ease of installation, and lifecycle cost.
Substrate must be flat, clean, and properly secured
Use appropriate adhesive and trims
Ceiling installations may require mechanical fasteners
Proper spacing prevents surface deformation
Joints and corners must be sealed for hygiene-critical rooms
Cutting and drilling require fine-tooth or carbide tools
For detailed installation, buyers can refer to the dedicated sub-article How to Install FRP Panels – Complete Guide.
FRP panels are easy to clean with mild detergents and water.
Avoid:
Abrasive pads
Strong solvents
High-temperature steam directly on joints
Textured surfaces require soft-bristle brushes for thorough cleaning.
Maintenance considerations are further explained in How to Clean FRP Panels – Quick Maintenance Guide.
Width: customizable
Length: customizable
Thickness: customizable
Surface: smooth / embossed
Projects requiring specific dimensions or performance grades can request custom sheets manufactured to spec.
FRP sheets can be customized for equipment makers or processing lines requiring composite panel components.
FRP panel cost depends on:
Thickness
Reinforcement content
Resin formulation
Surface finish
Grade (standard, reinforced, fire-rated)
Order quantity
Export packaging requirements
Buyers typically request quotations including panel, trim, adhesive, and shipping.
Production capacity
Thickness consistency
Fiberglass content stability
Surface finishing quality
Experience with export shipments
Samples help verify rigidity, surface flatness, and color consistency.
Panels should be stacked flat and protected against moisture during shipment.
Large projects require scheduled production and coordinated shipments.
GTOFRP™ supports global customers with:
Large-scale FRP panel production lines
Controlled laminate thickness and reinforcement ratios
