FRP facade panels and cladding for building elevations
Moulded facade panels, fins, screens and cladding in any shape and colour.
About FRP facades and cladding
FRP lets an elevation take shapes that are slow or costly to build in concrete or metal: three-dimensional panels, deep fins, curved bands and perforated screens, all moulded to your drawing and finished in the colour you specify.
Panels are thin moulded shells, so they're light enough to fix to a steel or aluminium subframe without heavy structure. Every panel comes from a mould, so a facade of repeated panels comes out identical.
Applications for FRP facades and cladding
-
Shopfronts and showrooms
A distinct face for retail and commercial buildings.
-
Offices and malls
Feature bands, fins and screen walls on large elevations.
-

Sun shading
Fins and louvres that cut glare on glazed elevations.

Customisation options
Everything we make is made to order. These are the choices you make with us before moulding starts.
- Shape
- Faceted, curved, fluted, perforated or sculpted. If it can be drawn and moulded, it can be made.
- Panel module
- Sized to your grid, with joints where your drawing puts them.
- Colour and finish
- Gelcoat matched to a shade-card reference or sample, gloss or matt, or a painted finish.
- Edges and returns
- Return edges, drip grooves and fixing flanges moulded into each panel.
- Lighting
- Recesses for concealed LED strips in fins, bands and frames.
FRP facades and cladding: styles we make

How it's made and fitted
Made in our unit at Jakkur, Bangalore, and fitted by our own team.
-
Elevations
You share elevations and sections; we work out the panel module, joints and fixings.
-
Shop drawings
A panel layout with sizes and bracket positions comes back to you for approval.
-
Master and mould
A master is made for each panel type and a fibreglass mould is taken from it.
-
Moulding
Panels are laid up with gelcoat in your colour, then trimmed and checked.
-
Installation
Our team fixes the subframe, hangs the panels and seals the joints.
Typical jobs
The kind of work we're asked for most often.
- A showroom front clad in faceted panels across its full width, in a single brand colour.
- An apartment block with an FRP jaali screen on every balcony, all from one mould.
- An office refurbishment where FRP fins were fixed over an existing glazed elevation to cut glare.

Questions about FRP facades and cladding
More answers on our FAQs page.
How long do FRP facade panels last outdoors?
FRP doesn't rust or absorb water, so the panels themselves last a long time. What weathers is the surface: over the years a gelcoat or paint can lose some gloss, and it can be cleaned, polished or recoated without replacing panels.
Is FRP cladding fire-resistant?
Standard FRP is a plastic composite and will burn. Fire-retardant resins improve how it behaves in a fire, and the rules for facades depend on the building's height and use. Tell us your fire requirements at the start so the right materials are chosen.
How are FRP panels fixed?
Usually with concealed brackets on a galvanised steel or aluminium subframe, with the joints sealed. Smaller elements can be fixed straight to masonry with anchors.
Should I use FRP or ACP?
Aluminium composite panels (ACP) are flat sheets that are cut and folded. FRP is moulded, so it can be curved, faceted or sculpted. For flat cladding ACP is often cheaper; for three-dimensional shapes, use FRP.
