In the world of modern interior construction and renovation, selecting the right wall cladding material is a critical decision. It impacts not only the aesthetics of a space but also its durability, hygiene, and long-term maintenance costs. Among the plethora of options available, one category stands out for its remarkable blend of performance and practicality: the Gel Coat Fiberglass Panel. Specifically, FRP white wall panels have become the go-to solution for a wide range of demanding environments. This comprehensive guide will delve into everything you need to know about these versatile panels, with a focus on the different thicknesses—1.5mm, 2mm, 2.3mm, and 3mm—and how to choose the perfect one for your project. As a leading Chinese manufacturer, LZ PANELS is dedicated to producing premium-quality panels that meet the highest global standards.
Before we explore the specific thicknesses, it's essential to understand what makes this material so special. FRP stands for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, while GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is essentially the same material with a different name. Both refer to a composite material made by reinforcing a plastic polymer with strong glass fibers.
The key differentiator of a high-quality gel coat GRP panel is its finishing layer. Unlike standard FRP that might have a printed film layer, a true gel coat fiberglass panel is manufactured with a layer of pigmented resin applied to the mold before the structural layers are added. This process creates a non-porous, high-gloss, and incredibly durable surface that is integral to the panel itself, not just a superficial coating.
The unique manufacturing process of a gel coat FRP panel grants it a set of superior properties:
Exceptional Durability and Impact Resistance: The fiberglass reinforcement makes these panels highly resistant to cracks, dents, and punctures, ensuring a long-lasting wall surface.
Non-Porous and Hygienic Surface: The seamless, glass-like finish of a Fiberglass white wall panel prevents moisture, bacteria, and mold from penetrating the surface. This makes it incredibly easy to clean and sanitize, which is crucial for environments like kitchens and hospitals.
Excellent Moisture and Chemical Resistance: These panels will not rot, corrode, or degrade when exposed to water, humidity, and a wide range of cleaning chemicals.
Easy Installation and Maintenance: Their lightweight nature compared to traditional materials like tile makes them easy to handle and install. Maintenance typically requires only a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth and mild detergent to restore its like-new appearance.
Aesthetic Appeal: The bright, reflective white finish of a GRP white wall panel helps to brighten interior spaces, making them feel larger, cleaner, and more inviting.
One of the most important specifications to consider when selecting your wall panels is thickness. The thickness directly influences the panel's rigidity, durability, and suitability for different applications. At LZ PANELS, we offer a range of thicknesses to meet every need and budget.
The 2mm FRP white wall panel is arguably the most versatile and widely used thickness on the market. It strikes a perfect balance between cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and structural integrity. It is rigid enough to provide a flat, seamless appearance on walls with minor imperfections, yet flexible enough to be installed on curved surfaces if needed. This makes the 2mm thickness an excellent all-rounder for most commercial and residential applications.
Ideal Applications for 2mm FRP White Wall Panels
Commercial Restaurants and Kitchens
Hospital and Clinic Patient Rooms
School and University Corridors
Office Buildings
Retail Stores
When maximum impact resistance and rigidity are required, the 3mm FRP white wall panel is the superior choice. This thicker panel provides a more substantial feel and is designed to withstand harsh conditions where walls are subject to frequent impact from carts, equipment, or heavy traffic. It offers superior dimensional stability and is less likely to show any underlying wall substructure.
Ideal Applications for 3mm FRP White Wall Panel:
Food Processing Plants and Abattoirs
Industrial Kitchens and Warehouses
High-Traffic Hospital Corridors and ERs
Cold Storage and Walk-in Freezers
Prison and Detention Facilities
The 1.5mm FRP white wall panel is an economical solution for projects where budget is a primary concern and the wall surface is in good condition. It is lighter and more flexible than its thicker counterparts, making it easier to handle and install, especially on complex shapes or tight radii. While it offers all the hygienic benefits of a gel coat fiberglass panel, it is best suited for low-impact areas.
Ideal Applications for 1.5mm FRP White Wall Panel:
Residential Bathrooms and Wet Areas
Residential Kitchen Backsplashes
Clean, low-traffic commercial areas
Temporary or Partition Walls
Ceiling Panels
The 2.3mm FRP white wall panel occupies a unique niche, offering a step up in robustness from the standard 2mm panel without reaching the premium price point of the 3mm version. It is an excellent choice for projects that require a bit more durability than a standard 2mm panel can provide but where the full strength of a 3mm panel is not necessary. This thickness is becoming increasingly popular for its optimal performance-to-cost ratio.
Ideal Applications for 2.3mm FRP White Wall Panel:
Moderately busy restaurant kitchens
Hotel Laundry Rooms and Back-of-House Areas
Public Toilets and Locker Rooms
Veterinary Clinics

Proper installation and care are key to maximizing the lifespan and beauty of your walls.
Panels can be installed over existing drywall, cement board, or properly framed stud walls using a recommended construction adhesive and/or mechanical fasteners. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding expansion gaps and sealing joints with a high-quality, mold-resistant silicone to maintain the seamless and hygienic barrier.
The beauty of a gel coat fiberglass panel lies in its easy upkeep. For daily cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. For disinfection, most common hospital-grade disinfectants are safe to use. Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh acidic cleaners, as these can dull the high-gloss finish over time.
Whether you are an architect, contractor, or property owner, investing in the right wall panel material is a decision that pays dividends for years to come. The range of FRP white wall panel thicknesses—from the economical 1.5mm FRP white wall panel to the heavy-duty 3mm FRP white wall panel—ensures there is a perfect solution for every application and budget. The unparalleled hygiene, durability, and aesthetic appeal of a gel coat GRP panel make it an intelligent and cost-effective choice over the lifecycle of any building.
