Why Glass Fibre Mouldings?
Glass fibre – often referred to as GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) – is an incredibly versatile material. Its strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to corrosion, and adaptability make it a preferred choice across many industries. Compared to traditional materials like steel, aluminium, or timber, glass fibre offers exceptional durability while remaining significantly lighter, easier to work with, and more resistant to environmental damage.
Because it can be moulded into almost any form, from intricate curves to large structural shapes, it provides designers and engineers with far more creative freedom without compromising on performance.
Bespoke Design Options
We pride ourselves on offering fully customisable solutions. You can specify:
Shape & Dimensions – From small, intricate components to large, structural mouldings.
Colour & Finish – Gloss, matte, textured, or patterned surfaces.
Material Composition – We can adjust resin systems and reinforcement types to suit your application.
Integration Features – Built-in fittings, inserts, or mounting points for easy assembly.
Our design team will work with you to refine every detail, ensuring your finished product meets your functional and aesthetic requirements.
Our Process: From Concept to Completion
We take a consultative approach to every project, ensuring your ideas are translated into finished products with precision.
Initial Consultation – We discuss your requirements, intended use, and performance expectations.
Design & Engineering – Using advanced CAD software, we create detailed 3D models and technical drawings.
Prototyping – We produce prototypes for testing and validation before moving to full production.
Tooling & Mould Creation – We develop high-accuracy moulds to ensure consistent results in every run.
Manufacturing – Our skilled team uses cutting-edge techniques to produce each component to specification.
Finishing & Quality Checks – Each piece is hand-finished and inspected to meet strict quality standards.
Delivery – We ensure your components arrive on time, ready for installation or further processing.

FAQs
What are glass fibre mouldings?
Glass fibre mouldings, often referred to as GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), are components made by reinforcing plastic resin with fine glass fibres. This combination creates a strong, lightweight, and highly durable material that can be shaped into almost any form. They are widely used in industries such as automotive, marine, aerospace, construction, and industrial manufacturing.
How long do glass fibre mouldings last?
When manufactured to a high standard, glass fibre mouldings can last for decades. They are resistant to corrosion, UV damage, and moisture, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. With minimal maintenance, they can retain their structural integrity and appearance for many years.
Can glass fibre mouldings be customised to my exact requirements?
Yes. At Custom Mouldings, we specialise in bespoke design and manufacturing. You can specify the shape, size, colour, surface finish, and even integrated features like mounting points or fittings. Our design team will work closely with you to ensure the product matches your needs perfectly.
What industries use glass fibre mouldings?
Glass fibre mouldings are incredibly versatile and used in numerous industries, including automotive, marine, aerospace, construction, and industrial manufacturing. They are ideal for applications such as body panels, hull parts, cladding, decorative features, machinery housings, and more.
Are glass fibre mouldings lightweight compared to other materials?
Yes. Glass fibre offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional materials like steel or wood. This means components can be lighter without compromising on strength, making them easier to handle, transport, and install.
Are glass fibre mouldings weather-resistant?
Absolutely. Glass fibre mouldings are highly resistant to extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and moisture. They do not rot, warp, or rust, which makes them perfect for outdoor and marine environments where other materials may fail.
Can you produce both small and large quantities?
Yes. We can produce anything from one-off prototypes to large production runs. Whether you need a single custom part for a unique project or thousands of identical components for mass production, we have the capability to deliver.
How do I maintain glass fibre mouldings?
Maintenance is minimal. In most cases, a simple clean with mild soap and water will keep them looking their best. If your application involves heavy wear, occasional inspections can help ensure the finish remains intact.
How cost-effective are glass fibre mouldings?
Glass fibre mouldings are generally more cost-effective than metals or hardwoods, particularly over their lifespan. Their durability reduces the need for replacements and ongoing maintenance, offering excellent value for money.
