Application

  • The system can also be suitable for schools and public buildings with additional safety features such as infill handrails.

Description

The GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) ramp boasts a surface that's both slip-resistant and corrosion-resistant, making it the perfect choice for high-traffic areas like schools and public spaces.


While our standard GRP sheets come in a dark grey shade, we also provide a diverse range of alternative colour options, including yellow, blue, and black.


These colours can be used to create a visual distinction, indicating transitions between the modular ramp and the level platforms.
