ABOUT US

Architectural Fibreglass Mouldings Ltd

Architectural Fibreglass Mouldings Ltd. has been providing quality canopies for nearly a quarter of a century. Over the years we have continuously invested in the design, development and redesign of a new generation of canopies with the ability to re-create classic styles and traditional appearances using modern lightweight materials.

MAINTENANCE FREE

Unlike traditional materials GRP (glass reinforced polyester) is truly maintenance free, just a wipe with a damp cloth will give the product an ‘as new’ appearance. Our GRP canopies will slot over most existing wooden or concrete structures and cover up any scarring. This will save money on any remedial work - unlike most building products, our products do not rot or distort, nor require any painting.

We offer a full site survey on all large projects and can give full a technical specification to ensure a cost effective solution is made simple, our technical staff are always on hand to offer advice on the best suited canopy for a particular application.
