Fibreglass Grating Cutting & Installation
Mechanical Cutting and Processing
Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating can be cut or moulded to our client’s specifications. The cut edges are sanded and sealed with resin to ensure corrosion resistance. As part of our service and commitment to our clients Sui Generis will be happy to provide a competitive quotation for installation of your grating if required.

Standard Clips
Sui Generis has three kinds of standard clips made of 316 stainless steel used for fastening and joining grating panels.
Type M – Hold down clips; designed to locate grating on a support structure & prevent it from turning in all 4 directions.
Type L – Clips – For use in securing grating to support frames.
Type C – Clips – Applied to connect two adjacent grating bars
Adjustable Feet and Plastic Inserts
A range of plastic/stainless steel adjustable feet are available from 7mm – 100mm. Special plastic inserts are also available to raise the grating panels from the floor by 7mm to allow the free flow of spillages or rainwater under the grating. The same inserts can also offer an advantage when using the grating panels for slip resistant workstations. The allowable deflection provided by the inserts will reduce the normal leg fatigue experience when standing on a hard inflexible surface for long periods.
Embedment Angle
Embedment angles are highly corrosion resistant. The rebate section is designed to accept our 25mm and 38mm grating. The embedment angle is set into the concrete floor to accept our Fibreglass Grating.

- Case Study
Sui Generis were called upon to solve the issue of a slippery surface around a concrete apron supporting five pressure vessels on an external treatment plant. The existing concrete apron suffered from algae growth raising Health & Safety issues.
"We recommended Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating because of its exceptional slip resistancy, more than 20 years of useful life guaranteed and zero maintenance costs."
Our operatives successfully installed the Fibreglass Grating over a three day period the results of which can be seen here.
