The benefits of using fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) as an alternative building material to wood, steel and aluminum are undeniable. But what about the advantages of choosing Bedford over other FRP manufacturers? Read on for all you need to know about the benefits of working with Bedford.

Extensive Inventory
Bedford keeps inventory levels high, so you don’t have to wait for the products you need now. You can even visit the Bedford website to check the extensive in-stock inventory of available FRP profiles, shapes and sizes. The stock changes daily, so you can check back often to find the products you need, when you need them. Of course, you can always contact our team for assistance with product selection or to get a quote.
On-Time, On-Budget Performance
Companies from a wide range of industries work with Bedford because of our experience, manufacturing capabilities and commitment to excellence for each and every FRP product we produce. We are here to make sure you get what you need when you need it and stay within your budget — with no stress and no surprises. We aim to provide consistent results time and time again, whether you are a first-time customer or you rely on us for project after project.
Many elements contribute to the final cost of FRP products. Because every project is unique, we take the time to understand your needs and your vision when providing a detailed price estimate and timeline. Bedford’s internal estimating and project management processes help ensure that your design and engineering needs are met on time and on budget.
Prompt, Professional Shipping
Consider logistics handled when you work with Bedford. Bedford provides superior service through our shipping and distribution company, Reinforced Logistics. Trusted and reliable with competitive rates and a superior on-time record, Reinforced Logistics ensures timely delivery and lives up to its promise. They focus on the details needed to deliver your shipment — and a quality experience. Their commitment to communication and on-time delivery ensures peace of mind for you.
Easy Installation
All of Bedford’s FRP solutions are designed for quick and easy onsite assembly and installation, but there are instances when pre-assembly can help expedite the installation process. For example, individual sections of a platform or staircase can be shipped as sub-assemblies for final connection at your site. We can even ship entire assemblies, such as a completed ReadySpan pedestrian bridge, for quick installation in remote or hard-to-access areas.
End-to-End Support
Finding a great FRP solution takes more than just picking the right profiles, shapes and sizes. It also requires product experts and a team of engineers you can rely on to assess your needs, implement your solution with minimal disruption and provide you with the support you need — from planning and design to manufacturing and installation.
With Bedford, we help you get the most out of your investment. You can trust us to communicate clearly and collaborate closely. When you partner with Bedford, your internal team will be part of the process every step of the way.
