FRP Sheets and Panels: Best Materials for Industrial and Commercial Use (2025 Guide)


Introduction: Why FRP Sheets and Panels Matter in 2025

Industrial and commercial spaces—from restaurants and hospitals to warehouses and factories—require wall coverings that are not only strong and durable but also hygienic and easy to maintain.

This is where FRP sheets and panels (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) stand out. Unlike traditional materials like drywall, FRP offers:

  • Moisture resistance

  • Corrosion protection

  • Easy cleaning

  • Long-term cost savings

GTOFRP FRP Sheets and Panels are designed for heavy-duty use, making them an ideal choice for contractors and facility managers.

Key Properties:

  • Thickness: 1.5mm – 5mm (custom available)
