GRP’s unique physical properties serve as a creative playground to meet a wide array of specifications. What sets us apart is our commitment to authenticity, as evidenced by our meticulous approach to replicating original detailing found on traditional roofing and structures. We can capture moulds for GRP roofs and features are derived from handcrafted lead, copper, and tile patterns, ensuring a faithful representation of timeless craftsmanship.

While working in GRP, we can replicate intricate details of original structures. Additionally, we collaborate with architects and designers to conceive original and bespoke ideas, manufacturing striking architectural roof structures.

What sets GRP apart is not just its physical versatility but also its capacity to replicate or replace past and existing structures with remarkable accuracy. Whether working from photographs or measuring the remnants of an original feature, we can recreate architectural elements in GRP, breathing new life into historical aesthetics.

The versatility of GRP extends beyond its malleability during fabrication; it also lends itself to achieving excellent detailed finishes, precise colour matching, and even the emulation of aging effects. This adaptability is underpinned by the inherent advantages of working with GRP. GRP is very lightweight when compared to its strength with excellent physical properties suited to outdoor use. GRP is durable and virtually maintenance free when compare to existing wooden and stone structures.
