Working near or around railways tracks is difficult and costly affair since in many instances it will be necessary to interrupt the traffic. Being able to pre-assemble the GFRP stairways in advance is a distinct advantage, added to the fact that no earthing is required. GFRP is electrically non-conductive and therefore does not need to be earthed to comply with the safety regulations of many rail track authorities. Furthermore, the GFRP stair treads provide a non-slip walking surface, ensuring safe access. With lightweight GFRP the expected weight is around 20-30 kg/m for standard systems.

Our products have a number of international and highly sought-after certifications, among other, within the construction, offshore and railway sectors. This is your guarantee of consistently high quality every time you buy from us and use our products.
Fiberline's GRP profiles are low in weight. This makes them easier to work with and means that great weight savings can be achieved on the finished structure.
Fiberline Building Profiles give you the same great strength as steel, but at only a quarter of the density. It is also possible to make weight savings in comparison with aluminium, as the density is 30 % lower.
Our fibreglass profiles are resistant to aggressive chemicals, and liquids. This makes them ideal for wastewater treatment plants, swimming pools, cooling towers and construction, where there is a risk of corrosion.

Fiberline's GRP profiles provide electrical insulation and minimise the complexity of earthing. This makes our profiles a future-proof choice where the costs of both installation and future inspections can be reduced considerably.
GRP profiles are just as easy and fast to work with as timber. This means that solutions which incorporate our profiles can be installed easily on site or adjusted to fit existing components, such as piping systems, etc.
Fiberline's fibreglass profiles have a significantly lower heat distribution gradient than steel and aluminium, enabling energy-efficient end products.
Our GRP profiles have unrivalled durability and a long life, even in demanding conditions.
Fiberline's fibreglass profiles are produced using an energy-optimised process that takes the environment into consideration.
