Moulded fibreglass grating - a guide for a range of applications
Standard moulded panel sizes:
3660 x 1220mm, depth: 25mm, 38mm & 50mm
3007 x 1007mm, depth 25mm & 38mm
2007 x 1007mm, depth 25mm & 38mm
Special sizes can be manufactured on request.
Fibreglass grating structure
Sui Generis moulded fibreglass grating is formed using continuous interwoven glass fibres as reinforcement material and resin as the matrix with continuous solidification through a mould system. The uniform construction provides excellent bi-directional mechanical properties.
Gritted fibreglass grating
Gritted Grating has quartz crystal bonded to the top surface ensuring an extremely durable and slip resistant surface. This type of grating has one of the highest degrees of slip resistance measured for a walking surface.
Mini mesh fibreglass grating
Mini-Mesh Grating has a 12mm x 12mm open mesh area. The smaller opening prevents objects as small as 13mm from falling through and complies with the European 15mm ball falling test requirement. The smaller holes also offer smooth movement for small wheeled trolleys, wheelchairs etc.
Smooth fibreglass grating
Smooth Grating has the same characteristics as other Fibreglass Grating except no anti-slip surface. These are widely used for decoration, fall protection, fences, machine guards etc.
Concave fibreglass grating
Concave Grating is more suited to low foot traffic areas and is particularly suitable for hygiene applications where a high standard of slip resistance is needed and ease of cleaning is a consideration.
Conductive top grating
Sui Generis Conductive Moulded Grating is specially formulated with a carbon black surface, eliminating hazardous static electricity when properly grounded. Available in all resin finishes, Sui Generis Conductive Gratings are primarily used in the high-tech electronic industries, munitions and arsenal manufacturing plants and other spark sensitive environments where sophisticated equipment may be damaged due to static electricity. The specialized grating has an electrical resistance of less than 26 kilo-ohms per 300mm while retaining other desirable characteristics of conventional Fibreglass Moulded Grating.
Covered fibreglass grating
All types and sizes of grating are available with covered tops. The covered top is typically 3mm thick and is bonded to the grating panel after manufacture. This creates a strong but lightweight covered panel.
Covered grating: chequer plate
All panels are available with gritted, chequer plate or smooth finish. Ideally suited to service trenches, access pits, gully covers, walkways and cable troughs etc.
5 good reasons to choose Sui Generis fibreglass grating...
- Slip-resistant – preventing accidents
- Ergonomic – better for your back
- Safe – non-conductive properties
- Economical – maintenance-free
- Strong – 20+ year lifespan
Your fibreglass grating guide
Grating is used as a surface for industrial flooring – including walkways, platforms, flooring, trench covers, ramps and cable trough covers.
It's beneficial to a variety of industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, offshore, water and power – because it provides a safe, slip-resistant surface that doesn't collect liquids or other hazardous material.
Where as traditional materials like metal and wood are subject to corrosion and chemical attack, fibreglass grating offers a safe, long-lasting and economical way to protect your walk-ways and platforms.
Sui Generis can mould fibreglass grating to your specifications, as well as provide pultruded grating in GRP fibreglass and a cutting and installation service.
In addition to comparing favourable to steel grating on price, fibreglass grating doesn't require any maintenance, and retains its slip-resistance in excess of 20 years.
Which industries can you provide grating for?
Fibreglass grating can withstand most kinds of chemicals, acids and corrosive solutions and even resist fire. This makes it ideal for industrial purposes. These are just some of the industries:
- Chemical
- Steel
- Food and beverage
- Water processing
- Power
- Offshore oil
- Pharmaceutical.
Why use fibreglass to make grating?
Because it's the ideal material for heavy foot traffic and withstanding industrial environments.
Not only is fibreglass grating slip-resistant, but it also has ergonomic properties. Its slight natural resilience makes it more comfortable to stand on for longer – and easier on the back than hard steel or concrete.
GRP fibreglass is also impact-resistant and can be customised to withstand the harshest industrial conditions – from corrosive chemicals to high-heat environments.
Fibreglass is both safe and cost effective, and with a 20+ year lifespan, it's the clear choice when you need grating.
Are there other benefits to fibreglass grating?
Yes. These are just some of the properties of GRP grating.
- Slip resistant
- Corrosion resistant
- Chemical resistant
- Ergonomic
- Maintenance-free
Does your fibreglass grating conform to regulations?
Yes. Both our concave and gritted grating surpasses the minimum requirements of the 'low potential for slip' rating specified by the UK Slip Resistance Group Guide 2000.
Our grating also has a Class 1 flame spread rating of 25 or less.
