Pound-for-pound, GRP can actually be stronger than steel. However, it is important to note that GRP is more flexible. For structural projects, we supply profiles to EN 13706 (Grade E23), which ensures they meet strict performance standards for load-bearing. While a GRP beam might deflect (bend) more than a steel one, under the same weight, it will not permanently deform or fail until it reaches much higher stress levels.
