Frequently asked questions about this product

• Do you also design GRP structures?

  We design GRP structures ourselves, but can also work based on your design. A design or sketch you provide can serve as an excellent basis for a quotation. When a project is further developed towards production, we usually create our own design.

  We do this for several reasons:
  • to ensure a good fit with adjacent structures and situations
  • to establish structural principles
  • to draw up the component and assembly drawings required for our production

  ⚙️ Drawings and file formats
  We draw in Tekla and AutoCAD, among other programmes, and can work with various file formats. This allows us to easily connect to the existing design, drawing or BIM model.

  Do you already have drawings available? Then we will gladly use them as a starting point. If things still need to be worked out or optimised, we will take care of that in consultation with you.

  👉 Whether you already have a complete design or are still in the design phase: we are happy to contribute our ideas and ensure a manufacturable, well-fitting GRP construction.

• What is the warranty period?

  We apply a standard warranty period of two years. This warranty is based on the legal provisions under Dutch law and applies when used in accordance with the agreed specifications and principles.

  In some cases, an extended warranty period is possible.
  This is always a commercial and technical consideration, in which the following factors play a role:
  • the application and load,
  • the environment (e.g. industrial or chemical),
  • the chosen materials and resin types,
  • the project size,
  • and the agreed price.

  An extended warranty period requires additional safeguards in terms of design, choice of materials and execution. This also means that an extended period cannot be combined with a rock-bottom price. If different agreements are made, these are always explicitly recorded in writing, for example in the quotation or agreement.

  👉 Do you have any wishes regarding warranty or life expectancy? Feel free to discuss this in advance, so that we can carefully and realistically include this in our quotation.

• How soon can I expect a quote?

  We often process requests on the same day or by the next working day at the latest.

  We aim to provide standard GRP gratings and customised GRP gratings in small quantities (e.g. for a platform) within 1–2 working days.
  For grating requests, a grating drawing (or simple sketch) helps us to provide a faster and more targeted quote.

  For project requests, we aim to provide a quote within one week. A grating layout, sketch or preliminary design significantly speeds up this process.
  In addition, we sometimes need additional information, such as:
  • when you need the grating by
  • whether the dimensions and layout have already been determined
  • and what the basic principles are (grating type, load, span protrusions)
  Once these basic principles are clear, we can usually respond quickly.

  GRP structures (such as platforms, ladders and handrails) usually require more coordination.
  Once the basic principles are known (preferably supported by a sketch or design), we can often provide a quote within a week.

  If we still need to work out some details together, we will actively contact you and let you know when you can expect the quote.
