Why FRP
Facilities, safety and manufacturing professionals minimize maintenance costs and safety concerns by using Bedford’s fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) products. FRP gratings, profiles and structures are long-lasting, strong yet lightweight, corrosion resistant, fire retardant, and have low conductivity. FRP will not shrink, swell, warp, dent or bow. It is available with anti-slip coating for worker safety, and is easy to fabricate and install with standard tools.
Bedford in Action
Bedford solutions are in use where you might expect them — cooling towers, manufacturing, marine, mining, utilities, water treatment and many other industrial applications. But they’re also in places that may not come immediately to mind, such as aquariums, theme parks, pedestrian bridges and more. Check out these projects and more to see Bedford FRP products for a wide variety of customers.

About Bedford Reinforced Plastics
Bedford offers an extensive line of FRP products and services. We use a pultrusion process to form fiberglass-reinforced polymer, or FRP, into a strong but lightweight profile that won’t corrode, rot, rust or warp. FRP grating and materials are used in a wide variety of applications ranging from industrial platforms, walkways and FRP stair towers to architectural projects, cooling towers, FRP pedestrian bridges, water treatment facilities and much more.
A full-service supplier, serving customers is ingrained in our culture. From design and engineering to manufacturing and fabrication to assembly and logistics, our experienced team can help you solve your building and manufacturing challenges quickly and cost-effectively. In addition to our state-of-the-art fabrication center, our product development includes the latest in robotics, 3D printing and kitted shipments with laser engraving for easier jobsite installation.
The strength of Bedford FRP combined with the superior corrosion resistance makes it the ideal material for long-term performance in even the harshest environments. And because Bedford’s pultrusion process means the possibilities for custom solutions are virtually endless, you can count on getting exactly what you need. Our experienced engineers work directly with you to provide design support and technical knowledge. Just as important, Bedford backs its PROForms and ReadySeries FRP products with an industry-leading warranty and exceptional support from a dedicated staff.
Plus, because Bedford FRP products don’t conduct electricity, they’re also an excellent choice for use in power plants and other energy facilities. The resistance to heat, high winds, rain, snow, saltwater and corrosion make Bedford FRP materials ideal for manufacturing facilities, offshore facilities, facilities using chemicals and much more. The incredible durability in a variety of weather conditions also makes Bedford FRP perfect for constructing pedestrian, equestrian and light-vehicle bridges.
For pultruded and molded FRP grating, structural shapes, platforms, mezzanines, walkways, catwalks, fixed ladders, handrails, guardrails, stairs, stair towers, bridges and more, count on a leading FRP manufacturer.
