Product Spotlight: GRP Non-Conductive Palisade Fences

Product Spotlight: GRP Non-Conductive Palisade Fences
GRP is an unique solution for any site requiring a safe barrier system that is non-conductive and metal-free, that overcomes any corrosion challenges facing the industry today. Glass Reinforced Plastic Palisade (GRP) is a safe and secure alternative to steel fencing for perimeter fencing around potentially dangerous high voltage areas due to its non conductive characteristics and similar strength qualities.

GRP Non-Conductive Palisade Fences

First Fence now offer GRP Non-Conductive Palisade Fences in which produce and deliver a long-term practical solution that overcomes any corrosion challenges facing the industry today. GRP Palisade Fencing systems offer an alternative to steel fencing as they provide non-conductive characteristics and equivalent strength qualities.

This new system, using Glass Reinforced Plastic, is a non-conductive property made from a polyester resin. It is a very popular composite material due to its strength. It is highly effective around electromagnetic and thermal insulators; this is because it is electronically transparent and not affected by electromagnetic fields or radio wave frequencies.

GRP offers many things thanks to its isophthalic resin technology. Non-conductivity, easy installation, lighter weight, maintenance-free, radar transparent, high-strength structural properties and fire integrity, and no need for painting thanks to built-in UV Protection.

Where can GRP Non-Conductive Palisade Fences be installed?

These products are predominantly used in areas such as:

  • Electrical Environments
  • Power Stations
  • Marine Environments
  • Chemical Sites
  • Electrical Sites
  • Railway Stations

Key Features

  • Constructed from GRP: Because of its non-conductive properties, it's an incredibly strong non-conductive material, making this ideal for installation around high voltage areas where metal is unsuitable.
  • Comply with Requirements: Our Pales and System have been independently tested & comply with the requirements for BS 1722-12:2016.
  • Resistant to Corrosion and Chemicals: Its non-conductive suitability means that it is a cost-effective solution and is suitable for many projects.
  • Built to Last: Once installed, GRP fencing requires little maintenance, so you can rest assured knowing your perimeter fencing will remain strong and secure for years to come.
  • Light & Easy to Install: Although lightweight, it maintains its high strength. This makes GRP much easier and cheaper to transport than other materials and enables easy installation.
  • Available with dig-in or bolt-down posts: Allowing for installation on a range of ground types (bolt-down posts not available on 3.0m variant or double leaf gates).
