One of the biggest advantages Core6 GRP handrails have over steel products is their very low maintenance requirements. This translates into cost savings in the long run and much fewer disruptions to operations. Continue reading →

Good design is essential to maximise health and safety and cut the risk of injuries occurring. This is a true fact of every single product but is even more important when it comes to stairs, walkways, handrails, and grating. If any of the measurements are even slightly out it could result in falls and injuries. Continue reading →

The properties of glass reinforced plastic (GRP) make it a fantastic alternative to a wide array of materials. Although it is the durability, light weight and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and abrasion resistance that make it stand out, the ease of machinability is also a major benefit. In fact composites are far more versatile to work with metallic materials. Continue reading →

Composite profiles are a very popular alternative to traditional materials such as concrete, steel, timber, and aluminium. The reason for this is that composites can provide a myriad of useful characteristics and overcome a number of the downsides of these other construction materials. For example a composite may be as strong and durable as steel whilst also offering better flexibility and corrosion resistance. Continue reading →

Handrails are essential for maximising safety in countless settings, from stairwells to mezzanines and platforms. Each one should be designed to suit the setting, ensuring it is strong, durable, and capable of dealing with the specific load placed on it. Continue reading →

In various settings sure footing is absolutely crucial to maximising safety. It becomes tougher to keep slip hazards to a minimum in tricky locations such as offshore, outdoors, and in areas where a lot of moisture is present though. The solution to the problem is to use anti-slip materials to give surfaces more traction and ensure they are less likely to become slick. Continue reading →

Core-6 GRP is great for walkways because it is slip-resistant, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals. It is suitable for use internally and externally, performing to the highest standard in each location. As a result the structures can be used in a wide array of different settings including in the oil and gas industry and chemical processing plants. Continue reading →

Stairways are a hazard in any location but can become even more-so in external dangerous industrial settings such as offshore, in chemical facilities, and areas that are open to the natural environment and ever-changing weather conditions. In these areas it is vital that the tread on each stairway is stable, even, and non-slip. With all of these in the access-ways must be prepared to deal with moisture, dirt, corrosive materials, and even chemicals. Continue reading →
