What is FRP grating?

• Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic grating is a
  composite material used in a wide array of
  construction industries.
• It consists of a mixture of fiberglass and resin
  that is made into one-piece panels or can be
  custom made to fit the unique shape of a floor.

Molded FRP Grating

• Molded FRP grating is made using a mold where
  the glass is layered. These floor grates are less
  expensive than pultruded FRP floor grating, but
  have a much higher resin content giving them more
  corrosion resistance, although they have less
  structural load capacity.

• Molded Fiberglass grating is ideal for corrosive
  environments with a lot of foot traffic,
  including wastewater treatment plants, industrial
  and chemical plants, corrosive environments like
  marine or urban locations, power plants, etc.

Pultruded FRP Grating

• These fiberglass floor grates are created by
  pulling glass strands through a machine, which
  are then sealed together into the desired shape. 
• Pultruded fiberglass grating comes in a wide
  variety of shapes, thicknesses, and cross bar
  assemblies, depending on the load requirements of
  the application

6

• Pultruded Grating consists of a series of
  parallel bearing bars. The bearing bars typically
  have a T or I shaped profile. The closer the
  bearing bars are together, the stronger the
  grating.

• Pultruded can only bear weight in the direction
  of the bearing bears, while moulded grating can
  support weight from any direction.

Benefits of FRP Grating

•  Low Maintenance Cost  the fiberglass and resin
  component make the product very hard wearing,
  reducing the need to maintain it. 
• Impact Resistant  the flexibility and high
  strength to weight ratio of FRP allows for a
  greater load bearing capacity. 
• Reduced Installation Time  compared to other
  products, due to it being lightweight, FRP is
  easy to install which minimizes  the overall cost
  of construction. 
• Corrosion Resistant  because steel is
  particularly susceptible to damage from the
  elements, FRP grating is a cost effective
  alternative, particularly in corrosive
  environments.
