Core6 panels are immensely versatile and can be used for a wide array of different applications. They are often utilised for panelling on balconies, infills, soffits, and even curtain walls. They can also be used as door facing and hygienic linings. Continue reading →

Steel grates are used within many applications including walkways and covers for trenches or holes, the problem with this material is the low corrosion resistance, due to the iron content the metal is vulnerable. Protective coatings can be used but with time these will wear away themselves, exposing the substrate and allowing rusting. Continue reading →

The most incredible thing about Core6 GRP is its durability. The composite is made of plastic and glass fibres, ensuring it is very strong whilst still being lightweight. There are no worries about corrosion as the materials are rust proof. In addition they also perform well in different temperatures and when exposed to various chemicals. Continue reading →

GRP walkways need to be designed correctly for a number of reasons. Most importantly they must be safe and secure when installed on a site, ensuring stability. In addition the layout must be correct, taking into account what operations are taking place on site and the demands of pedestrians who may be making their way around. Continue reading →

A crucial aspect of stair safety is ensuring that individual treads have minimal risk of slipping and are as visible as possible. This is true whether the stairs are made from concrete, timber, or even steel. It is vital to think about how to maximise slip resistance and visibility from the outset, especially considering what will happen as materials wear over time and become smoother. Continue reading →

Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) has an outstanding strength to weight ratio, placing it ahead of many other materials. This is due to the mesh of glass fibres encased in plastic. One important thing to keep in mind with many composites is that damage to the surface layer can expose the inner core, in some cases this can result in accelerated deterioration and failure. Continue reading →

Within the marine industry, the key to the increasing use of GRP resides with the environmental conditions. Performance considerations in relation to lower material weights, slippery surfaces, and corrosion make GRP the best choice for jetties and pontoons. As one of the leading suppliers of high quality composites, Core6 Composites will have a solution to suit your application. Continue reading →
