Fibreglass Gratings

Fibreglass grating has been proven to have superior mechanical properties over traditional materials such as wood or steel. Available in a wide range of sizes and colours, fibreglass grating is corrosion resistant, chemical resistant, impact resistant, slip resistant and lightweight. Use fibreglass grating for platforms, walkways, ramps, work stations etc.

The Benefits

• Fire Resistant - Our fibreglass grating has been tested in accordance with BS476 and has achieved a class 1 flame spread rating or less. Our entire range of gratings is fire resistant. A fire test report is available upon request.
• Chemical Resistant - Fibreglass products are corrosion resistant over a wide pH range both acidic and caustic. This corrosion resistance is achieved by the use of premium grade orthophthalic and vinyl-ester resins. Chemical resistance data is available upon request.
• Slip Resistant - The slip resistant feature of fibreglass grating is created during the moulding process when the top surface naturally shrinks back to create a concave effect surface. This provides positive traction over a wide range of environmental conditions such as wet or oily surfaces. A hard wearing quartz grit is then added for heavy duty applications, providing an extended life and superior anti-slip properties.
• Impact Resistant - Fibreglass grating allows repeated deflection without causing permanent damage or deformation. Deflection will occur with the impact of a heavy object. However, once the object is removed, fibreglass grating will return to its original shape and position, unlike metallic grating, which will remain deformed. This eliminates the need for costly replacement gratings. A copy of our grating deflection data is available upon request.
• High Strength - Fibreglass grating has superior strength and load bearing capabilities due to the high glass to resin ratio. With a tensile strength higher (kilo per kilo) than steel, fibreglass products are the ideal solution for many safety and access problems.
