Specifically designed for demanding applications, our Smooth Glossy White GRP Sheet Roll series offers an unparalleled combination of durability, aesthetics, and functional performance. These sheets are engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of commercial transportation, particularly fridge truck bodies, while also offering versatile solutions for construction, interior design, and industrial applications. The hallmark of this product line is its brilliant, consistent glossy white finish, which not only provides a pristine, hygienic appearance but also offers excellent light reflectivity and long-term color stability, resisting yellowing and degradation from UV exposure and harsh environmental conditions. Available in a comprehensive range of thicknesses—including 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, and 3mm—this GRP series allows professionals to select the perfect balance of strength, weight, and flexibility for any project.
The material's core composition involves a combination of high-quality glass fibers embedded within a robust thermosetting polyester resin matrix. This synergy creates a product that is remarkably strong yet lightweight, highly resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and impact, and completely impervious to rot and moisture. A critical, proprietary feature of our GRP sheets is the corona discharge treatment applied to the rear surface. This essential process elevates the surface energy of the material, creating a highly active bonding surface that ensures exceptional, permanent adhesion to various core materials like polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam, polystyrene, and plywood during the composite panel manufacturing process. This guide will delve into the specifications, applications, and installation methodologies for each thickness variant, providing a comprehensive resource for engineers, fabricators, and builders.

When used in the transport industry, the 1.2mm Glossy White GRP Sheet Roll format is perfect for interior liner panels in van and truck bodies where extreme structural load-bearing is not the primary requirement. Its light weight contributes to better fuel efficiency and higher payload capacity. The brilliant glossy white surface is easy to clean and maintain, promoting hygiene in food transport applications. Despite its relative thinness, the 1.2mm sheet provides a formidable barrier against moisture and corrosion, protecting the underlying substrate.
Arguably the most popular and versatile option in the range, the 1.5mm Glossy White GRP Sheet offers an excellent balance between mechanical strength, rigidity, and weight. It is the industry-standard thickness for many fridge truck body interior liners and composite panel skins. The 1.5mm Glossy White GRP Sheet Roll provides enhanced impact resistance compared to the 1.2mm variant, making it suitable for the dynamic environment of commercial haulage where goods may shift during transit. Its increased stiffness allows for wider unsupported spans in panel construction. The surface maintains a deep, high-gloss finish that is resistant to staining from oils, chemicals, and food products, ensuring a truck body remains looking professional and clean with minimal effort.
For applications demanding higher structural integrity and flatness, the 2mm Glossy White GRP Sheet is the recommended choice. This thickness delivers superior resistance to denting and abrasion, making it perfect for heavy-duty fridge truck bodies, cold room walls, and flooring applications. The 2mm Glossy White GRP Sheet Roll is frequently specified as the external and internal skin for composite sandwich panels used in modular buildings and container linings. The additional thickness contributes to a more robust panel that can withstand physical knocks during loading and unloading operations. Its inherent rigidity ensures that large panel sections remain perfectly flat, contributing to the aesthetic quality and aerodynamic efficiency of the finished vehicle or structure.
The 2.5mm Glossy White GRP Sheet enters the realm of heavy-duty industrial applications. This thickness is engineered for scenarios where exceptional durability, impact resistance, and panel stiffness are non-negotiable. It is ideal for the construction of high-traffic freezer and chiller compartments, industrial door facings, and severe-duty wall cladding. Utilizing a 2.5mm Glossy White GRP Sheet Roll ensures the finished composite panel has immense strength, often eliminating the need for additional supportive frameworks. The material performs exceptionally well in low-temperature environments, remaining stable and crack-free. Its thick, glossy surface is incredibly easy to sanitize, meeting the highest standards of food safety and pharmaceutical transport regulations.
At the top of the range, the 3mm Glossy White GRP Sheet represents the ultimate in GRP sheet performance. This thickness is designed for the most challenging environments, offering maximum resistance to puncture, extreme impact, and sustained load. The 3mm Glossy White GRP Sheet Roll is typically used in applications such as heavy-goods vehicle bodies, specialized industrial containers, and as protective wall lining in areas subject to mechanical abuse. In architectural terms, it is suitable for high-performance façade elements and signage. The 3mm sheet provides an unparalleled feeling of solidity and permanence, and its superior thermal and acoustic insulation properties when used in a composite panel structure are significantly enhanced.
In the construction of fridge truck bodies—the thermal enclosure critical for perishable logistics—our Glossy White GRP sheets play a dual, vital role. Primarily, they act as the superior facing material for insulated sandwich panels. The process involves bonding the GRP sheet to a core of rigid insulation foam (such as PUR/PIR) using high-strength adhesives. Here, the corona discharge treatment on the back of every sheet is indispensable. This pretreatment dramatically improves the wettability and bonding characteristics of the GRP surface, allowing the adhesive to form a molecular-level bond that is often stronger than the materials themselves. This creates a monolithic composite panel with exceptional thermal efficiency, structural strength, and a seamless, hygienic interior surface. The glossy white finish maximizes interior light reflection, improving visibility during loading, and aids in maintaining lower temperatures by reflecting radiant heat.
Beyond composite panels, our GRP sheets are extensively used as direct liner panels for truck and van interiors. In this application, sheets from a 1.5mm Glossy White GRP Sheet Roll or 2mm Glossy White GRP Sheet Roll are often cut to size and mechanically fastened onto the internal frame or existing walls of a cargo area. This provides a durable, wipe-clean, and corrosion-resistant surface that protects the vehicle's structure from moisture and damage. The smooth surface prevents dirt and bacteria accumulation, which is crucial for maintaining sanitary conditions when transporting food, pharmaceuticals, or other sensitive goods.
The utility of these GRP sheets extends far beyond refrigerated transport. In architecture and construction, they are employed as durable, low-maintenance cladding for building exteriors, interior wall panels in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, and signage boards. The material's weatherability and colorfastness make it ideal for external use. In the marine industry, it is used for boat interiors and paneling. For clean rooms and food processing plants, the non-porous, easy-to-sanitize surface of the 3mm Glossy White GRP Sheet is ideal. The availability in rolls allows for cost-effective coverage of large, continuous areas, while the range of thicknesses ensures suitability for everything from decorative surfaces to structural elements.
Successful installation begins with proper handling. GRP Sheet Rolls should be stored on their ends in a cool, dry, and flat environment. Prior to unrolling, allow the material to acclimate to the installation site's temperature for at least 24 hours. When unrolling, do so on a clean, flat surface to avoid inducing kinks or permanent bends. For composite panel production, sheets are typically cut to the required dimension before the lamination process. Cutting can be achieved using standard woodworking tools equipped with tungsten carbide or diamond-tipped blades; ensuring firm support along the cut line is crucial to prevent chipping.
Core Preparation: The insulation foam core (e.g., PUR, PIR, EPS) is cut to the precise panel size.
Adhesive Application: A compatible structural polyurethane adhesive is applied evenly to the foam core surface. Spray application is common for industrial settings.
Lamination: The pre-cut Glossy White GRP Sheet (e.g., from a 2.5mm Glossy White GRP Sheet Roll) is carefully laid onto the adhesive-coated core. The corona discharge-treated back must face the adhesive.
Pressing and Curing: The assembly is passed through a press or placed under uniform pressure in a vacuum bag system to ensure full contact and eliminate air pockets. The adhesive is then allowed to cure as per manufacturer specifications, forming an inseparable bond.
Finishing: Once cured, the panel edges can be trimmed, routed, or sealed as required for the joining system.
Framework: Ensure the underlying support framework (often aluminum or steel battens) is square, level, and securely fixed.
Cutting & Drilling: Cut the GRP sheet to panel sizes using appropriate tools. Pre-drill holes for fasteners, ensuring the drill bit is sharp to avoid splintering the gel coat surface.
Fixing: Secure the panel to the framework using appropriate fasteners—stainless steel screws with matching washers are recommended to prevent corrosion and over-tightening. Fasteners should be placed at regular intervals as per engineering specifications.
Joining: For a seamless appearance, joints between panels can be sealed with a high-quality, flexible sanitary silicone sealant compatible with GRP.
Trims and Edges: Install corner trims, cappings, or edge profiles to finish the installation neatly and protect exposed edges.
