For years, flat sheet FRP Wall Panels have grown a reputation for affordability, durability, and ease of installation in applications ranging from restrooms and kitchens to commercial interiors. Today, fiberglass wall panels are so much more!

We offer more customization options than any other manufacturer of fiberglass panels. Our FRP wall panels offer architects, builders, and designers a wall covering that not only provides all the characteristics they need, but also is suitable for virtually any interior application.

When other FRP manufacturers can’t or won’t, ours will

When you are shopping for fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) wall panels, wainscoting or wall cladding, ease of installation and durability are a basic requirement. However, for many out there searching, finding the right colour, finish, thickness or fire rating is where the search can get tough.

Flat sheet FRP wall panels solve that problem with more stocked standard colours, finishes, and sheeting options than any other FRP manufacturer, and a world of possibilities with value-added services like custom cuts, imaging, sublimating, laminating and much more.

Tips for Installing FRP Panels

The FRP panels must be stored at a temperature above 50 degrees for 24 hours before installation as they can contract and expand, causing them to bubble or buckle in areas after installation.  Storing the FRP panels inside the area where they are to be installed is preferable.  Always store on a flat surface.  Installing FRP on flat, prepared, un-sanded walls will help prevent bubbles.  Water-based adhesive should be applied with a trowel to the back of the wallboard after the divider piece is adhered using silicone.  We suggest using Franklin Titebond water-based adhesive in standard applications using drywall, dura rock, or plywood as a substrate.  Concrete block walls may require advanced polymer adhesive.  It is imperative to measure and cut/route out for any plumbing fixtures or electrical boxes.  When cutting Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, the installer should subtract ½” from the vertical measurement and 1/8” for expansion around pipes and other projections.  J-mould may be required at the base depending on the application, and it may also be used at the ceiling if installation takes place after the ceiling is installed.  Make sure to clean all excess adhesive and silicone from the panels immediately.

Cleaning FRP panels

Use a mild soap or detergent.  FRP board is very easy to clean.  Power washers may be used for stubborn staining, but abrasive cleaners should not be used.
