Product Description
Combining corrosion resistance, long life and a low maintenance design, FRP pultruded grating (Fiberglass pultrusion grating) is superior to conventional metallic gratings. This advanced grating is manufactured with a recessed tie bar configuration and is lightweight and easy to fabricate. Savings on labor and equipment often make the total installed cost of grating comparable to that of steel.
Manufactured with a high percentage of glass within the laminate, pultruded grating provides durability, extremely high unidirectional strength and stiffness. Due to its exceptional stiffness, it can be used with confidence where wide support spans are required.
Application Scenarios:
- Architectural
- Bridge & Highway
- Chemical
- Food & Beverage
- Manufacturing
- Metals & Mining
- Oil & Gas
- Power
- Transportation
- Water & Wastewater
Advantages of FRP
Corrosion Resistant
Provides exceptional resistance in the harshest environments and chemical exposures.
Slip Resistant
Integrally applied grit surfaces offer unmatched slip resistance for improved safety.
Low Maintenance
Reduces or eliminates the need for sandblasting, scraping, or painting.
Fire Retardant
Engineered to meet flame spread ratings of 25 or less per ASTM E-84.
High Strength-to-Weight
Less than half the weight of steel, allowing easier installation and handling.
Non-Conductive
Electrically and thermally non-conductive for enhanced worker safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of choosing FRP grating over steel?
FRP grating offers superior corrosion resistance, especially in harsh chemical environments, and is less than half the weight of steel, which significantly reduces installation and maintenance costs.
Is the pultruded grating slip-resistant?
Yes. The grating features integrally applied grit surfaces that provide excellent slip resistance, enhancing worker safety in wet or oily conditions.
How does FRP perform regarding electrical safety?
Fiberglass is electrically non-conductive, making it an ideal choice for power plants, microelectronics facilities, and other areas where electrical safety is a priority.
Does FRP grating require regular painting?
No. Because of its inherent corrosion resistance, FRP grating eliminates the need for sandblasting, scraping, or painting throughout its long service life.
What fire safety standards does this grating meet?
Most of our products are engineered to have a flame spread rating of 25 or less when tested in accordance with ASTM E-84, meeting self-extinguishing requirements.
Can pultruded grating handle heavy vehicular loads?
Yes, there are High Load Capacity (HI) configurations available that are specifically designed to handle up to H20 vehicular loads.
