Rooms for food processing are subject to extremely stringent hygiene regulations, so the use of the correct insulating panels is crucial.

GRP insulating elements are both visually and hygienically perfect and proven for use in refrigeration rooms and operating facilities at dairies and cheese makers, slaughterhouses, sausage, meat, fish and vegetable processing plants. They comply fully with the EU directives for the food industry and food trade.

Depending on the specifications, GRP insulating elements can be supplied as ceiling and wall claddings, partition walls or accessible suspended ceilings. The panels are available as an innovative jointless system with a certified, food-safe two-component gap-filled joint or as a proven H-profile system. Both systems can be installed quickly, easily and economically.

We plan your project to suit you. Our professional in-house fitters then reliably install the solution we have planned and coordinated on schedule.

Frequently asked questions about GRP solutions

  • What are GRP panels?

    GRP panels are special panels that are used for ceiling and wall cladding, among other things. They have a coating made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, or GRP for short, and have an insulating core made of expanded polystyrene, or EPS for short. The panels are also known as GRP insulating panels or sandwich panels.

    A GRP surface coating provides a high-quality finish that makes the panels ideal for ceiling and wall cladding. They are mainly used in rooms that have special hygiene requirements and must comply with strict guidelines.

    Thanks to the EPS core, the sandwich panels provide sound and thermal insulation. They are used in cold rooms, as machine enclosures and as a material for partition walls. It is also possible to design a walk-on ceiling and hygienic wall cladding.

  • What are the advantages of wall cladding made of glass fiber reinforced plastic?

    Glass fiber reinforced plastic describes a composite of fiber-reinforced plastic, which consists of a combination of plastic, for example polyamide, polyester resin or epoxy resin, and continuous fibers. Due to this composition, GRP is also known colloquially as fiberglass.

    The advantages of the material for wall cladding include high chemical resistance, grounding resistance and dimensional stability. Furthermore, ceiling and wall claddings are non-conductive, electrically insulating and resistant to cold and heat.

    In combination with an EPS core, further advantages are added. EPS, also known colloquially as Styrofoam, is a granulate that is pre-foamed at high temperatures of 90 degrees Celsius using steam. During this manufacturing process, the material expands and takes on up to 50 times its original volume. As a result, polystyrene is often used as roof, ceiling and wall cladding as well as impact sound insulation.

  • What are the advantages of glass fiber reinforced panels?

    GRP panels and wall cladding offer a number of advantages, including the following:

    - very dimensionally stable
    - largely resistant to acids, salts and alkalis
    - UV, weather and corrosion resistant
    - maintenance-free with a long service life
    - bright and smooth surface, easy to clean
    - frequent cleaning with steam or high-pressure cleaner possible
    - efficient EPS insulation core with very good insulating properties
    - joint covering with profiles or maintenance-free hard grouting possible
    - quick and precise installation thanks to precisely fitting tongue and groove connection
    - customized and grid-independent production
