Choosing The Right GRP Enclosure.
When it comes to choosing the right GRP enclosure for your home, in the Enclosure Pro team’s experience there are three primary factors you should take into consideration such as;
- What Will You Be Storing Inside?
What you store inside your GRP Enclosure is ultimately down to your own specific needs. However, whether you intend to house an electrical meter, electrical equipment, or store chemical products inside your GRP Kiosk, you can have peace of mind that with an Enclosure Pro GRP Kiosk, your property will be secure.
- Where Would A GRP Kiosk Be Best Placed?
The Enclosure Pro team would strongly advise you to locate your Kiosk as close as possible to the place where what you are storing inside will be utilised most frequently. Whether that be indoors to house an electrical meter unit, store potentially hazardous chemicals that you don’t want to fall into the wrong hands or outdoors for electrical meters for outhouses, workspaces, home gyms or for chemical storage for a pool or greenhouse. Ease of access is also key, ensure that wherever you place your kiosk it doesn’t cause an obstruction.
- How Much Space Do You Need?
The competition for space inside and outside of our homes is a never-ending one. Whether it’s furniture, appliances, decorations or sports equipment, no matter how big your living space is, you have to be practical about how much space you can afford to utilise for electrical and chemical storage. That’s why we offer a range of GRP Enclosures encompassing three specific sizes. Depending on your needs and space, we usually recommend a single-door GRP kiosk for domestic purposes.
- Single-door GRP Enclosure: The most commonly used GRP enclosure for domestic purposes, one of the primary benefits of these units is that they are ideal when space is limited, whilst accommodating the safe storage of all manner of domestic electrical units. These kiosks are available in a range of sizes and colours.
- Double-door GRP Enclosure: These GRP Enclosures are larger than many of our other products and have more space to work with than our single-door counterparts. They also offer increased security with a 100mm flange bolted to a concrete base.
- Large GRP Enclosure: Whilst more commonly used for industrial operations, the benefit of these GRP Kiosks is that they allow for more technical equipment and offer more space for specialists to work in should you require a kiosk of this size.
GRP Material: It’s What We Trust To Stand Up To The Elements And Keep Your Property Safe.
What sets GRP apart from other materials for us when it comes to the safe and secure storage of electrical and chemical materials is the protection, flexibility and durability they offer to customers whether their needs are domestic or commercial.
Please see below a list of the numerous GRP benefits that make our team believe it offers the best solution to all of your storage needs;
- Lightweight: GRP is significantly lighter than traditional materials, making it easier to transport, install, and handle.
- UV Resistance: GRP is resistant to UV rays, preventing degradation and maintaining appearance over time.
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: GRP is incredibly strong and durable, capable of withstanding heavy loads and harsh conditions.
- Corrosion Resistance: GRP is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for use in environments with exposure to chemicals, moisture, or extreme weather.
- Impact Resistance: GRP can withstand impact forces better than many other materials, reducing the risk of damage.
- Electrical Insulation: GRP is a non-conductive material, making it safe for use in electrical environments.
- Thermal Insulation: GRP offers good thermal insulation properties, helping to maintain temperature and reduce energy consumption.
- Low Maintenance: GRP requires minimal maintenance, reducing long-term costs.
- Long Lifespan: GRP products have a long lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
FAQS About GRP Enclosures
To put it simply, doubled-lined GRP enclosures consist of two layers of GRP material bonded together which provides greater protection against harsher conditions.
GRP kiosks are non-conductive due to their composite material composition. While they may have a steel lining, the steel is typically encased within the GRP material, which acts as an insulator. This prevents the steel from coming into direct contact with external electrical sources, ensuring the kiosk remains non-conductive and safe to use.
GRP is a composite material made from a combination of glass fibres and a resin matrix, this combination makes GRP highly resistant to a wide range of corrosive substances, including acids, alkalis, and salts. Unlike metal kiosks, GRP kiosks do not contain any metallic components that are susceptible to rust and corrosion.
