GRP Dormers

GRP dormers are dormer window frames that are made out of glass-reinforced plastic. Another more common name for glass-reinforced plastic is fibreglass.

GRP is a durable, strong yet flexible material that can be manipulated into any shape. For this reason, a lot of construction products are made from it.

Why Buy GRP Dormers

GRP dormers are strong, yet lightweight. This makes installing them far easier than dormer windows built out of traditional construction materials.

GRP weathers especially well. It does not fade and can withstand extremes of temperature. It is so durable that it is used in the North Pole for the science and research station that is based there.

Because they are so light, they can be fitted in a fraction of the time it takes to fit a standard dormer window. The best ones come ready assembled, so that they take no time at all to install. This also ensures that they are completely watertight and will remain so for their entire lifespan.

Your Choice of GRP Dormers

GRP dormers come in many different styles. You can buy barrel shaped, flat top, apex and mansard dormers made out of GRP. The fact they are made out of glass fibre means that you get a wider choice of colours.

Where to Buy GRP Dormers

You can buy these dormer windows on the High Street in DIY stores and builder’s merchants, but the selection you get there is quite limited. The best place to buy them is from specialist firms who actually make them. You will find many of these firms on-line by using the search term ‘GRP dormers’.

Look for well-established firms. A firm that sells a wide selection of windows is the best one to use. The fact that they sell a range of windows is a good indication that the GRP dormers they produce are of a good quality and will look good for years to come. Good quality windows should be guaranteed for at least 20 years. The best glass reinforced plastic is made to be colourfast and to resist fading in the sun.

YBS Composites sells a fantastic range of GRP dormers. They sell every kind and they all come with a 20-year guarantee.
