Fiberglass Grating

With excellent corrosion resistance, strength, impact resistance, slip resistance and long service life, FRP grating is of the most useful, versatile, and economical solutions available for the construction of pedestrian walkways, dock decking, bridges, platforms and stairways, compared with more traditional materials such as galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, or wood.

Interwoven high-strength glass rovings embedded in a thermosetting resin matrix, create one-piece structural panels which exhibit excellent bi-directional strength and one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material.

We supply grating in 8′ x 4′ panels for optimum transportation, handling and installation and in three mesh sizes which satisfies all but the most specific decking applications. For such exceptional applications, we can usually supply other grating sizes, styles, resin composition and surface finish on request, subject to minimum order size.
Typical applications for this versatile decking product include:

• Boardwalks

• Dock decking for jetties & pontoons

• Ramps for the disabled

• Pedestrian bridges

• Rooftop access walkways

• Viewing platforms

• Industrial work platforms

• Stairs and landings

• Beach access

Benefits of Fiberglass Grating

• Lightweight – only 1/4 the weight of steel and 1/3 the weight of aluminum

• High strength – tension, compression and bending strength similar to steel

• High impact resistance - springs back to original shape when deflected

• Excellent slip-resistance with bonded grit surface

• Long life span – typically in excess of 25 years

• High fire resistance, low flame spread index, and low toxic fumes with selected resins & fillers

• Highly resistant to corrosive chemicals

• Unaffected in marine environments and prolonged exposure to wet conditions

• Uniform color and appearance

• Easy on-site fabrication and/or trimming
