FRP panels, short for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic panels, are lightweight sheets designed to provide a moisture-resistant, hygienic, and easy-to-clean surface. They are made by reinforcing plastic with fiberglass, which enhances strength while keeping panels flexible.
Compared with drywall, tiles, or painted walls, FRP panels offer:
Water resistance – perfect for wet environments.
Low maintenance – wipe clean with minimal effort.
Durability – resistant to scratches, impact, and chemicals.
Cost efficiency – longer lifespan with fewer repairs.
Many professionals now recommend GTOFRP FRP Panels because they are engineered for fast installation, superior durability, and competitive pricing.
Measuring tape and pencil
Level and straight edge
Utility knife or fine-tooth saw
⅛-inch V-notch trowel (for adhesive)
Roller for applying pressure
Caulking gun (for sealant)
Drill and screws (if using fasteners)
Adhesive method: Recommended for smooth, dry walls.
Mechanical fasteners: Ideal for humid conditions or uneven walls.
Combination method: Adhesive + screws for maximum bonding strength.
Inside corner trim – for internal wall corners.
Outside corner trim – protects outer corners.
H-divider trim – joins two panel sheets.
J-trim – finishes edges along ceilings, floors, or openings.
Order GTOFRP Accessories for a complete kit including adhesives, trims, and fasteners.
Remove dust, grease, and loose paint.
Fill cracks or uneven spots with filler.
Use drywall or plywood backing for rough surfaces.
Install a vapor barrier for damp walls.
Use fasteners in addition to adhesive in kitchens, restrooms, or food facilities.
Utility knife: Works for thinner FRP sheets.
Fine-tooth saw: Recommended for thick or reinforced FRP panels.
Cutting without measuring twice → wasted panels.
Forgetting expansion gaps (1/8 inch) → leads to buckling.
Use FRP-approved adhesives for best results.
Avoid standard construction adhesive — it may not bond properly.
Apply adhesive with a V-notch trowel.
Spread evenly across the panel back.
Do not leave dry spots, as this causes air pockets.
Position the panel against the wall.
Use a roller to apply firm pressure.
Start from the center and roll outward to push out air bubbles.
Place screws every 16 inches along edges.
Use corrosion-resistant screws with washers for clean finishes.
Fit trims before pressing panels fully into place.
Apply adhesive or sealant inside trim grooves.
Use divider trims for joining large wall sections.
J-trims finish panel edges along doors, ceilings, and floors.
Apply silicone sealant to all panel joints and trims.
Prevents water infiltration and bacterial growth.
Allow adhesive to cure for 24–48 hours.
Avoid washing or heavy cleaning until panels are fully set.
| Item | Average Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FRP Panel (4x8 ft sheet) | $30 – $55 | Price depends on thickness and supplier |
| Adhesive | $15 – $25 per gallon | Covers ~150 sq. ft. |
| Trims and Fasteners | $0.50 – $1.00 per sq. ft. | Depends on design |
| Labor (contractor) | $2 – $5 per sq. ft. | Region-based pricing |
| Total Installed Cost | $4 – $10 per sq. ft. | DIY saves ~30% |
Contractors can save by ordering GTOFRP Bulk FRP Panels Packages with included trims and adhesives.
Skipping surface preparation → weak adhesion.
Using incorrect adhesive → panels warp or fall.
Forgetting expansion gaps → buckling with temperature changes.
Not sealing trims → water and bacteria infiltrate.
FRP panels can last 20–30 years with minimal maintenance.
Smooth, non-porous surfaces resist bacteria and mold.
Lower installation cost than tiles, longer lifespan than drywall.
Meets food safety standards, easy to clean grease and stains.
Supports hygienic environments with chemical resistance.
Protects walls from impact, chemicals, and high traffic.
Moisture-proof option for damp or unfinished spaces.
Q1. Can I install FRP panels directly over drywall?
Yes, if the drywall is smooth and dry. Use adhesive + fasteners for humid environments.
Q2. What is the best way to cut FRP panels?
Use a utility knife for thin panels; a fine-tooth saw for thicker panels.
Q3. How long do FRP panels last?
Up to 30 years with proper installation and care.
Q4. Do I need trims for FRP panels?
Yes, trims protect edges, prevent moisture infiltration, and improve aesthetics.
Q5. Can FRP panels be installed on ceilings?
Yes, lightweight FRP panels are ideal for ceilings in kitchens, washrooms, and industrial spaces.
Q6. Where can I buy FRP panels and accessories?
GTOFRP supplies panels, adhesives, trims, and installation kits for global contractors.
Installing FRP panels requires the right tools, adhesives, and technique, but the process is straightforward once you follow proper steps. Contractors choose FRP wall panels because they are durable, hygienic, cost-effective, and versatile across industries.
