PHOTO COMPETITION NEWS! You may have noticed that we haven’t posted about our photo competition recently. It’s not because we’re short on entries, in fact, it’s the opposite! We’ve received so many fantastic submissions that we’re working hard to showcase them all. To keep up with the volume, we’ll now be posting on Saturdays and Sundays too! Please note: Some entries from this year may roll over into next year as we catch up. #customers #photos #gdphotocompetition #gooddirectionsgroup

The finial is complete and doesn't it look stunning! Why GRP we here you ask? Well. GRP 'fibreglass' is light weight, easy to install and virtually maintenance free, making is more cost effective than most alternatives. #TWNGRP #GRP #fabrication #laminating #moulding #patternmaking #fibreglass #architecturalfeatures #buildingproducts #roofs #domes #mosques #temples #turrets #towers #canopies #chimneys

First Step

Molding

GRP Finial

Working from a customers drawings, our team set about making this 700mm high finial in GRP. First step was to make the bespoke inverted pattern ( direct mould ) that we would laminate the finial from, rather than making a pattern, off which we make a mould, and then laminate the unit from the mould. #TWNGRP #GRP #fabrication #laminating #moulding #patternmaking #fibreglass #architecturalfeatures #buildingproducts #roofs #domes #mosques #temples #turrets #towers #canopies #chimneys

GRP Tile Effect Door Canopy

The replica GRP door canopy is ready in all its glory. Light grey tile effect roof, lead effect flashing and roll top with the real timber decorative support frame. GRP is light weight but very durable and virtually maintenance free. https://www.twngrp.co.uk/ #TWNGRP #GRP #fabrication #laminating #moulding #patternmaking #fibreglass #architecturalfeatures #buildingproducts #roofs #domes #mosques #temples #turrets #towers #canopies #chimneys

GRP Door Canopy with Tile Effect Roof

When we surveyed the original canopy it was noted that it was GRP tile effect with a timber decorative frame, so this was what we would replicate. The tile effect roof pattern is underway. #TWNGRP #GRP #woodwork #carpentry #fabrication #laminating #moulding #patternmaking #fibreglass #architecturalfeatures #buildingproducts #roofs #domes #mosques #temples #turrets #towers #canopies #chimneys

GRP Door Canopy

Our pattern makers and laminators have been busy lately with yet another bespoke roof job going through the factory. Due to a house fire on an estate, there was a need to replicate a door canopy now missing off one house. Working from photos and dimensions taken from site, our team set about drawing the canopy. #TWNGRP #GRP #fabrication #laminating #moulding #patternmaking #fibreglass #architecturalfeatures #buildingproducts #roofs #domes #mosques #temples #turrets #towers #canopies #chimneys

The Unit

GRP Dome Roof

A single GRP unit was produced from the timber pattern, before it is broken up and the wood repurposed where possible. Finished in smooth matt black, this roof will certainly look the part once installed and we cant wait to see the finished photos. https://www.twngrp.co.uk/grp-roofs #TWNGRP #GRP #fabrication #laminating #moulding #patternmaking #fibreglass #architecturalfeatures #buildingproducts #roofs #domes #mosques #temples #turrets #towers #canopies #chimneys

A bespoke GRP bay window roof going through the factory at the moment. The original old, dilapidated and leaking. The builder had heard GRP was light weight, very durable, watertight and easy to install too. All he had to do was fit it, flash the rear upstand, then insulate it. https://www.twngrp.co.uk/grp-roofs #TWNGRP #GRP #fabrication #laminating #moulding #patternmaking #fibreglass #architecturalfeatures #buildingproducts #roofs #domes

Bespoke Interior Clock

Bespoke interior clock for an export project. CNC machined clock housing pattern, off which a GRP mould was produced and the clock housing moulded in GRP, finished with metallic gold paint. A high quality battery mechanism was fitted to the dial, with custom made carbon fibre hands. #gooddirections #clock #interiorclocks #clockmechanism #clockmovement #clockhands #clockdial #clockcontroller #clockmanufacturer #commercial #residential #schools #publicclocks #civicclocks #madeinbritain

CAD CAM GRP pattern

Interesting little project this week. Working from a 3D CAD drawing produced by our skilled team, we produced a pattern for a clock housing on our CNC Router as it had detail difficult to produce by hand. The pattern was machined in a very hard and durable foam, which can be sanded and painted prior to a mould being taken from it. #TWNGRP #GRP #fabrication #laminating #moulding #patternmaking #fibreglass #architecturalfeatures #buildingproducts #clocks #time #exteriorclocks #outdoorclocks
