QuartzGrip® Standard Mesh Grating

The original GRP Open Mesh Floor Grating, suitable for use in commercial and industrial environments including walkways, riser floors, platforms, wash bays, work stations, drains, gullies, stairs, ramps and pontoon decking. Stocked in a wide range of sizes and colours.

QuartzGrip® Mini Mesh Grating

GRP Mini Mesh grating has all the benefits of our Standard Mesh Grating but with smaller 12mm x 12mm holes preventing small objects from falling through. Stocked in a wide range of sizes and colours.

QuartzGrip® Micro Mesh Grating

All the benefits of our Standard Mesh Grating but with tiny 8mm x 8mm holes for maximim debris protection while still allowing water and air to flow freely.

SafeScreen™ Screen Guard Mesh

A modern, long-lasting, zero-maintenance alternative to conventional steel mesh machine guarding or fencing.

QuartzGrip® Standard Mesh Stair Treads

Replace rotten or corroded stair treads with QuartzGrip® Anti-Slip Open Mesh versions. Stocked in a range of sizes and colours.

QuartzGrip® Mesh Edging Ramp

Create a smooth transition from the floor to a sheet of GRP Open Mesh, reducing the trip hazard and allowing small-wheeled traffic to move smoothly between surfaces.

QuartzGrip® Concave Open Mesh Grating

Concave surface fibreglass grating is simply standard grating panels without the added gritted surface finish. Provides excellent slip resistance but is easier to keep clean than gritted versions.

QuartzGrip® Conductive Open Mesh Grating

For use on roof walkways of high buildings as a defence against lightening strikes and in environments where flammable gases or fumes could be ignited by static sparks.

QuartzGrip® Phenolic Mesh Grating

Phenolic grating offers maximum fire resistance, low smoke and low toxic fume emissions and low char yield making it the number one choice in sites at high risk of fire or in enclosed spaces such as tunnels where fumes can build up.

QuartzGrip® Vinyl Ester Grating

Made to withstand the harshest of conditions offering superior chemical-resistance.

QuartzGrip® Solid Top/Mesh Bottom

Solid Top Flooring is suitable for a variety of industrial applications and environments. Effectively a standard mesh panel with an anti-slip flooring plate bonded to one side, the solid surface allows smoother movement of wheeled traffic, prevents objects falling through to the level below, and when used as a cover or lid, provides odour retention for storage tanks etc.

QuartzGrip® Solid Top/Solid Bottom

The ultimate in structural strength, GRP sandwich panels are effectively made by bonding 4mm anti-slip flooring sheets to the top and bottom of a sheet of standard mesh grating.

SafeSlab™ Interlocking Panel

The cost-effective solution for heavy duty commercial, industrial, marine and rail environments that require a solid finish.

Universal™ Angle Profile

Ideal for building frames and truss structures, our Universal Angle GRP Profiles are built to comply with BS EN 13706 E23/E17 standard.

Universal™ Box Profile

Box Section GRP Profiles are available in multiple sizes and comply with BS EN 13706 E23/E17 standards.

Universal™ C-Section Profiles

Ideal for beams and staircase construction, C-Section Profiles comply with BS EN 13706 E23/E17 standard. Sold in 6000mm lengths.

Universal™ H-Beam − Grey − 200 x 200mm

Structural GRP Profile suitable for heavily industrial applications due to its extremely high load bearing capabilities.

Universal™ I-Beam − Grey − 200 x 100mm

Suitable for structural projects complying with BS EN 13706 E23 grade standard.

Universal™ Tube Profile

GRP Profile Tubes are all made by the pultrusion process with high glass content and excellent mechanical properties. They are frequently used as part of Step on Safety’s SafeClamp GRP Handrail System.

QuartzGrip® Anti-Slip Grip Strips

Help prevent unnecessary falls in wet or icy weather by adding Decking Strips. The rough, embedded quartz fragments provide superb traction for passing feet and they won’t wear down, rub off or fade. An affordable, flexible and neat solution to any potentially slippery surface − wood, stone, metal, brick or concrete.

QuartzGrip® Anti-Slip Stair Nosing

GRP Anti-Slip Stair Nosing is the ideal product if you are looking for an affordable solution to minimise the risk of slips, trips, and falls on existing staircases.

QuartzGrip® Anti-Slip Stair Tread Covers

Designed to cover the entire stair and provide a firmer grip underfoot. Step On Safety GRP anti-slip stair treads work well in wet, icy or greasy conditions and can transform tired looking staircases whilst minimising the risk of slips, trips, and falls in a cost-effective way.

QuartzGrip® Anti-Slip Flat Plate

Anti-Slip GRP Flooring Sheets are a great solution for safeguarding employee and public safety by reducing slips, trips and falls in hazardous environments which are in constant use.

QuartzGrip® Tactile Plate

Tactile flooring is designed to warn visually impaired pedestrians when they are approaching a change in surface underfoot or hazardous areas such as railway platforms, pedestrian crossings and stairs.

QuartzGrip® Anti-Slip Ladder Rung Covers

Instantly improve ladder safety by adding a durable grit surface to improve slip resistance in wet, oily, and icy conditions.

About us

Vital GRP specializes in the design, manufacture, and supply of advanced Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) products for industries where safety, durability, and performance are essential. Serving the rail, construction, utilities, and marine sectors, our corrosion-resistant GRP components are a lightweight, low-maintenance, and long-lasting alternative to steel, wood, and concrete.

Why Choose GRP?

Glass Reinforced Plastic is a composite material combining glass fibers with a resin matrix. It offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, chemical and corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation — making it ideal for harsh, high-risk environments where traditional materials quickly degrade.

Industry Applications

RailOur GRP is widely used trackside for cable trays, walkways, grating, fencing, and signal support structures. Its non-conductive, anti-slip, and weatherproof properties enhance safety and reduce costly maintenance for operators.

ConstructionIn fast-paced building environments, GRP’s lightweight nature reduces install time while maintaining structural integrity. We supply flooring, cladding, panels, riser decks, and custom profiles that stand up to wear and tear with minimal upkeep.

UtilitiesGRP is ideal for electrical and water utilities thanks to its non-conductivity and corrosion resistance. Our range includes GRP cable ladders, covers, access platforms, and transformer enclosures, all engineered for tough external conditions.

MarineSalt, water, and UV exposure are no match for GRP. We support coastal and offshore projects with boat decking, docks, walkways, and handrails built to endure marine environments without rotting, warping, or rusting.

Key Advantages of Vital GRP:

Corrosion-Proof: Resists saltwater, chemicals, and pollutants
Lightweight: Easier to handle, reduces structural loads
Non-Conductive: Safer around electrical installations
High Strength: Comparable to steel at a fraction of the weight
Low Maintenance: Long service life with minimal upkeep
Customizable: Tailored to your exact specifications
UV & Weather Resistant: Reliable in extreme conditions
Fire Retardant Grades Available
