Pultruded Industrial GRP Grating

FAQ - GRP 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 GRP (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 GRP grating?

Yes. These are just some of the properties of GRP grating.

• Slip resistant
• Corrosion resistant
• Chemical resistant
• Ergonomic
• Maintenance-free

Does your GRP 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.
