About Dura Composites

Solving client challenges through sustainable innovation.

We’re three-time winners of the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise, demonstrating our commitment to innovation and problem solving. Our mission is to help companies of all sizes harness the power of composites with our unique range of performance-improving products. With 21 patents and 139 design registrations, we’re driven by a clear vision to solve even the most ambitious infrastructure problems in a sustainable way.

With our new end-of-life recycling, we turn your unwanted GRP into new products.

At Dura, we combine design, technology, and manufacturing innovations to offer a distinctive range of solutions. Our recyclable d² product range includes walkway grating, trench covers, structural profiles, handrailing, access structures, and station platforms. These products feature innovative weight-reducing designs that minimise on-site logistics requirements and reduce environmental impact thanks to their lower embodied carbon and recyclability. We’re the only company able to provide the option to repurpose your product at the end of its use, making us the greenest choice.

The industry’s best-engineered structural flooring and walkway systems.

We’re best known for solving the perennial problem of the gap between the train and the platform once and for all, and we never shy away from a challenge. Our d² products provide future-proof fire resistance, anti-corrosion properties, chemical resistance, and anti-slip gritted surfaces. By integrating these features, we’re lowering contractors’ build and maintenance costs while ensuring enhanced safety and accessibility for end customers.
