Fiberglass is FRP. There's absolutely 100% no difference between the two. FRP is just a general term used.
Fiberglass is glass....it cracks a lot easier than polyurethane.......
you cant even push it.
If fiberglass takes on so much as a pebble,
it will crack and shatter where that pebble made contact.
There is no fixing that other than to glass over it.

Polyurethane is much more durable and can be sanded/repainted
if over time there are rock chips and the likes.

Do a Google search and see for yourself:

Polypropylene. In other words, flexible plastic.
