Fibreglass (GRP) signs are light yet strong.

Fibreglass Signs
Fibreglass (GRP) have massive advantage over other sign systems. Although comparatively light, they are extremely strong and therefore resistant to vandalism and weathering. The ability of fibreglass to be molded offers shapes and sizes which could be cost prohibitive in other mediums, i.e. wood and metal. They are available in sixteen standard colours but with our SM range all RAL colours are available.

They are available as flat plate, with fixing channels and posts, tray signs, lecterns and interpretation panels. Reflective and photoluminescent signs also available.
