Advantages of Fibreglass Grating

Corrosion & Chemical Resistant

Corrosion is a major problem within industries such as chemical, steel, food and beverage, water and wastewater, power – the list goes on. Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating is particularly designed to provide safe, long-lasting, economical and worry-free solutions in environments where chemicals and other corrosives attack metal, wood and similar materials. Depending on the environment, resins such as orthophthalic polyester, isophthalic polyester, vinylester or phenolic may be used in the construction of our Fibreglass Gratings and Sui Generis SafeTread™ products.

Slip Resistant

Slips and falls are a major hazard in many industries causing injuries and lost work days. Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating is available with a concave or gritted surface, both offer outstanding slip resistance in wet and oily environments and have consistently reduced slips and falls in industrial facilities. Both also surpass the minimum requirements of the ‘low potential for slip’ rating specified by the UK Slip Resistance Group Guide 2000.
Slip Resistance Test Results

High strength-to-weight ratio

Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating is manufactured as a composite of continuous fibreglass strands and high quality resin. It is integrally constructed for strength, and is less than one-half the weight of steel grating allowing easy removal for access and installation with no heavy equipment and reduced manual handling risks. Properly installed, Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating meets specified load requirements for steel and is more impact resistant than metal.

Impact resistance

The impact resistance of Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating allows repeated deflection without permanent deformation. A certain amount of deflection can occur with loading. Unlike metal grating fibreglass has a good memory, so once the object is removed the Fibreglass Grating will fully recover to it’s original position.

Fire resistance

Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating has been tested in accordance with the ASTM E–84 tunnel test. Depending on the resin type it achieves a Class 1 flame spread rating of between 5–25 or less. Test reports are available on request. Special fire retardant requirements can also be met with extra additives.

Ergonomic

Employees experience fatigue after standing on solid concrete or heavy non-adjustable galvanized steel platforms all day. Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating is an excellent solution to ease the strain on the back, feet and legs of workers. Its natural slight resiliency makes it comfortable to stand on for long periods of time thus reducing worker fatigue. This can be improved upon by inclusion of our plastic inserts to create further allowable deflection.

Life Span

More than 20 years of useful life is guaranteed for Sui Generis Fibreglass Gratings.

Maintenance Free

Install it and forget about it. Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating is easy to clean. Its open mesh permits debris to fall through the grating panel preventing a hazardous build-up on the walking surface. It is corrosion resistant and the colour remains fast due to it’s ultraviolet resistant properties.

Safety

Sui Generis Fibreglass Gratings NON-CONDUCTIVE properties make it ideally suited for electrically hazardous locations, acting as an insulator. Its NON-MAGNETIC properties allow the grating to be used in sensitive installations where the inherent magnetic properties of metal grating will prove problematic and dangerous. NON-SPARKING Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating is ideally suited for those installations where combustible gases may be present and accidental dropping of tools onto steel grating may produce sparks.

Cost effectiveness

Initial purchase cost of Fibreglass Grating compares favourably with steel grating but the real saving is made on the superior life expectancy and zero maintenance costs. Also installation costs are usually less than half that of steel grating.
