PULTRUDED STRUCTURAL PROFILES

GRP Kick Plates

Pultruded GRP flat profiles for edge containment, equipment protection and low-level barriers in industrial access assemblies.

Kick plate applications

Equipment protection

Low-level guards and sacrificial edge details around plant and service routes.

Containment edges

Designer-defined barriers to reduce movement of debris or materials at platform edges.

Access assemblies

Profiles coordinated with posts, grating and toe-board requirements where guarding standards apply.

Specify the section, direction and support

Pultruded GRP is directionally reinforced. Geometry, fibre direction, span, restraint, connection and service environment must be considered together when the profile carries load.

  • Define whether the function is kick plate or toe board
  • Confirm height, thickness and continuous length
  • Show corners, joints and openings
  • Coordinate support and fixing centres
  • Check clearance above the walking surface

SectionOverall height, thickness, length and any return or shaped edgeDefines geometry, fit and available material data.
Length and quantityStock lengths, finished cuts, tolerance and piece countControls cutting yield, labelling and packing.
Structural dutySpan, supports, loads, deflection and restraintAllows the designer to verify section suitability.

EnvironmentMoisture, chemicals, salt, UV, temperature, fire and electrical requirementsInfluences resin, surface veil, colour and fixings.

Cut, drill and CNC preparation

Supply can be arranged as full stock lengths, simple cut lengths or a drawing-led preparation package. CNC cutting is useful for repeated holes, slots, notches and complex shapes where controlled geometry and part identification reduce site work.

Send dimensioned drawings in a usable format and identify tolerances, datum faces, hole sizes, edge distances and whether cut edges require sealing or finishing.

Installation principles

  • Support and restrain profiles as shown by the project design
  • Use compatible corrosion-resistant fixings and backing details
  • Avoid uncontrolled holes, notches and sharp internal corners
  • Control GRP dust during cutting and drilling
  • Check completed dimensions before installation

Final structural verification and connection design remain the responsibility of the project designer.

Frequently asked questions

Which GRP kick plates and toe plates sizes and lengths are available?

Four confirmed Business Central options use a 150 × 15 × 3 mm section: 6 m lengths in Dark Grey, Grey or Yellow, plus a 5 m Phenolic option.

Can GRP kick plates and toe plates be supplied cut to length?

Yes. Provide finished lengths, quantities, tolerances and clear part references. Include dimensioned drawings where holes, notches, slots or other preparation are required.

How should I select the correct section and support arrangement?

Confirm the section geometry, orientation, span, loading, restraint, connections and service environment. Product-specific data and the actual support condition should be checked by the project designer.

How are long profile lengths delivered?

Delivery treatment depends on length, quantity, destination and unloading access. See Delivery & Collection or send the schedule for confirmation.

How do I request trade or project pricing?

Use the project and bulk quote route with the section sizes, quantities, cut lengths and delivery requirements. Trade customers can also review Trade Accounts.
