The Experts In Composites
Based locally in Christchurch, Gracol has been manufacturing Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) profiles, systems, and structures for more than 45 years – our dedication and experience have made us the experts in the fibreglass field. At Gracol we value high quality, reliable, and innovative fibreglass solutions and we are proud that Gracolite™ profiles are engineered to meet the world-class technological requirements expected in an ever-changing environment. Our composites are manufactured to New Zealand, Australian, and international standards and we export internationally.
You’ll find we carry an extensive stock line of Gracolite™ pultruded profiles and FRP grating which can be used individually and as part of Gracol fabricated assemblies. Our custom fabricated assemblies include handrails, boardwalks, walkways, and staircases. Gracol Composite’s well-equipped engineering factory manufactures most components on-site, but we can import when necessary. Talk to us today to find an FRP solution to meet your project requirements.

Why Our FRP
FRP products offer durability, longevity, an excellent strength to weight ratio, and low maintenance requirements. Unlike steel, FRP products do not require surface treatment to protect from corrosive environments. FRP is also stronger than many steels and up to 70% lighter.
Our FRP products are environmentally stable and easy to install with no heavy equipment required.
Compared to traditional structural wood (SG8) FRP products offer improved longevity, resistance to rot and decay, and resistance to insects. Fire retardant and pigments are added to our FRP products during manufacturing, meaning no protective coatings and minimal maintenance is required. Unlike aluminium, FRP products have a low thermal conductivity, high impact resistance and can weigh up to 30% less than aluminium.
