Profile selector

GRP profiles for frames, guards, supports and fabrication.

Choose angles, channels, box section, tubes and structural profiles for corrosive, non-conductive and low-maintenance industrial projects.

Shop profiles Plan cut to size

Choose by the job, not just the shape

Edge protection and trims

Angles suit edging, support lips, cover frames, corner protection and simple fixing interfaces where steel would corrode or need coating.

Corrosive environments

GRP profiles are useful around wastewater, marine, chemical, utilities and electrical infrastructure because they do not rust and are non-conductive.

Fabrication preparation

Profiles can be supplied as stock lengths or prepared to a cut list for guards, frames, brackets, riser support and repeat project assemblies.

Find the most likely profile shape

Start with the job the section must do. Structural uses still need project-specific load, span, connection and deflection checks.

Suggested starting point

GRP angles

L-shaped profiles suit edging, cleats, brackets, support lips and corner details.

Explore this profile

Angles

Edge trim, brackets, support lips and corner protection.

Channels

U-shaped caps, guides, frames and protected edges.

Box section

Closed square or rectangular sections for frames, posts and light supports.

Tubes

Round sections for rails, sleeves, guards and selected non-conductive details.

I-beams

Structural support routes subject to verified loads, spans and connections.

Flat bars

Straps, packers, backing pieces and simple fabrication details.

Kick plates

Platform and walkway edges where loose items need to be retained.

Profile fixings

Bolts, brackets and connection details coordinated with the chosen section.

Information that helps us route the profile order

Question	Why it matters	Helpful detail
Is it structural or protective?	Structural use needs more checking than trim, guards or edge protection.	Loads, spans, fixing points, drawings.
What environment is it in?	Resin, colour and surface expectations may change for wet, chemical, marine or electrical areas.	Indoor/outdoor, UV, chemical exposure, salt, fire expectations.
How will it be fixed?	Fixing detail affects hole positions, cut lengths, bracket choice and site preparation.	Substrate, bolt size, centres, access restrictions.
Can we prepare it?	Cut-to-size preparation reduces site time and improves repeatability.	Cut list, drawings, quantities, tolerances.

GRP profile questions

What is GRP box section?

Box section is the normal UK term for closed square or rectangular GRP profiles. It is commonly used for frames, posts, guards and light support fabrication.

What are round GRP sections called?

Round hollow profiles are simply described as GRP tubes. Confirm outside diameter, wall thickness, length and the intended connection detail.

Can GRP profiles be cut and drilled?

Profiles can be supplied to length and suitable repeat drilling, notching or CNC-style preparation can be reviewed from drawings. Tolerances, edge distances and orientation should be stated.

Can I use the selector for structural design?

No. It identifies a likely shape. Structural profiles require verified properties and project-specific checks for loads, spans, deflection, buckling and connections.

Which details should be on a profile cut list?

Include section size, wall thickness, finished length, quantity, hole or notch positions, tolerances, labels, colour and any grouping by assembly.

Why choose GRP profiles instead of steel?

GRP can be useful where corrosion resistance, low weight or electrical non-conductivity matters. The final choice still depends on duty, fire expectations, temperature, connections and lifecycle requirements.
