GRP (glass-reinforced polyester) kiosks provide a rugged, weather-resistant housing solution for electrical installations that need secure protection outdoors. Designed for utility, infrastructure and commercial applications, these kiosks offer durable containment for switchgear, meters, transformers, control equipment and other electrical hardware.
At a glance, GRP kiosks are ideal because:
They are non-corrosive and require minimal maintenance, even in demanding outdoor environments.
They can be supplied in single- or double-door formats, with IP ratings such as IP54 and IP55 to resist dust and weather ingress.
They meet the installation requirements of UK power network operators (DNOs) for 100 A single-phase, 100–400 A three-phase or larger rated kiosks.
They are available in a wide range of sizes—widths from ~660 mm to 1500 mm, depths from ~340 mm to 750 mm, and heights from ~930 mm to ~1580 mm—so you can find the right fit for both compact and larger installations.
Built to last: the robust GRP construction means long service life with minimal upkeep.
Utility and network installations for live-metering, switchgear and transformer equipment.
Commercial or industrial electrical installations requiring safe outdoor housings.
Locations where metal enclosures may corrode or require frequent repainting.
Installations where a pre-approved kiosk for DNO-compliance is needed.
Ingress protection rating – Ensure the IP rating suits the localisation and environment (e.g., IP55 for higher exposure).
Door format & access – Single or double door may affect space and maintenance access.
Footprint & height – Allows for future expansion of electrical equipment or cables.
Locking & security – Ensure the kiosk comes with the required lock type (cylinder, cam, hasp & staple) and meets site security requirements.
Delivery & installation – Check delivery lead times, access for installation, and site base requirements for stability and alignment.
Unlike steel or aluminium cabinets, GRP kiosks do not rust, are lightweight yet strong, and offer excellent long-term weather resistance. They are often preferred when aesthetics, durability and minimal maintenance are important.
