GLASS REINFORCED POLYESTER

GLASS REINFORCED POLYESTER
CHARACTERISTICS OF GRP
Made from a mix of resin, gelcoat and glass fibre matt, GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is a specialist compound suitable for exterior use, and can be moulded into any architectural component required. Providing a lightweight, yet strong and durable material, GRP is an effective alternative to natural stone, and can be produced with a matt or gloss look, in any standard RAL colour.
Stevensons of Norwich offer a complete bespoke GRP service. Utilising our in-house Drawing Office, we will work with you to create your project from this versatile material, from small cornice designs, to large cladding, as seen in the Birmingham Bullring shopping mall.
Exterior Cornice
GRP Cornice Range
Our range of GRP cast cornice has been designed specifically for installation on building exteriors. A cost-effective alternative to stone or concrete, GRP (glass reinforced polyester) is a strong and durable material with a lower overall weight than traditional building materials. Typically cast with a white finish, GRP cornice can be provided in any RAL colour, with plain or textured surfaces.

The Bullring Shopping Centre
Shopping Centre Development
As part of the new Bullring shopping centre project in Birmingham, Stevensons of Norwich undertook a substantial package of work, utilising fibrous plaster, GRG (glass-reinforced gypsum) and our own Stevensons-Stone® material as requested by the designers.
A stylish white cladding can be found throughout the shopping centre, cast by Stevensons using fibrous plaster and GRG to the designers specifications. Stevensons-Stone® was used extensively across the centre for shop-front decoration, pilasters and cornice designs, produced in a range of finishes including Portland Stone, Sandstone, Limestone and a unique Stainless Steel finish thanks to the durability of the material and fine detailing available to the designers, we continue to work with the Bullring to develop new and existing shops.
Our initial installation in 2003 was awarded the prestigious Plaisterers Trophy, with the Judges commenting that we had risen to every challenge and have delivered their contribution to a new benchmark for shopping centre development.
