Let's talk out each misconception in detail and understand how GRP is a better solution! ## 1. GRP Is Too Expensive In the past, the initial material cost of GRP has been higher than the price of similar metal products. In order to cut costs, companies have chosen to stick with the traditional materials.  This logic is flawed, however. GRP saves people a significant amount of money over the life of the application. While the initial material cost can be more, various areas of cost savings make GRP the more economical choice. ![glass reinforced plastic grp construction](https://blog.fibergrate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/docks_decks/IMG_4587.jpg?width=424&height=1200&name=IMG_4587.jpg "IMG_4587.jpg") GRP products have a **low installation cost**. The light weight of GRP products eliminates the need for heavy lifting machinery, thus, saving your money. Also, glass reinforced plastic can be fabricated on site.  A circular saw can cut GRP grating to size rather than having to have the exact measurements predetermined. Plus, the on-site fabrication aspect allows you to make changes in your design during installation if desired.       The costs savings continue to grow through the life of the product. Unlike traditionally used products such as wood and metal, glass reinforced plastic products require very little to no maintenance. With metal, for instance, the maintenance cost can add up due to the high risk of rust and corrosion.  In order to limit the rusting of a product, metal must be painted with a special paint to prevent water from touching the surface.  Over time, this paint will chip, flake and peel, so the material will have to be carefully sanded down and repainted.  This adds a significant amount of expenses. You will have to pay for labour, materials and the downtime in production of your facility when performing maintenance on metal and/or structures. Using GRP will eliminate the need for maintenance, thus saving you thousands! [![BUILDING A COST EFFECTIVE, MORE EFFICIENT WORLD](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/344648/2867c697-6dfb-4885-a507-e6d90b7a05ea.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/344648/2867c697-6dfb-4885-a507-e6d90b7a05ea) In addition, over the past 50 years, the price of steel and other metal products has increased at a much higher rate than GRP products.  Now, it is not uncommon to see the initial material cost of GRP to be even lower than steel! ## 2. FRP Is Not Strong Enough    GRP has a high strength to weight ratio and, as seen in the video above, is very impact resistant.   [![New Call-to-action](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/344648/fba1d062-8b43-41b2-9cf6-d96e93fccba8.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/344648/fba1d062-8b43-41b2-9cf6-d96e93fccba8) ## 3. Durability Over Time [![BUILDING A CREATIVE, MORE INNOVATIVE WORLD](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/344648/c0380226-48f0-4eb9-b42d-aea4ede77065.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/344648/c0380226-48f0-4eb9-b42d-aea4ede77065) The durability of glass reinforced plastic makes the product structurally superior to structures made with traditional materials. Also, GRP will make your plant safer because the safety features, such as slip resistance, will last throughout the lifespan of the application. While change may sometimes be scary, changing from metal and/or wood should not be.  As you can see, GRP is a very safe and reliable material that will save you money and allow your facility to run more efficiently.
