Fiberglass Grating

fiberglass grating
Our molded fiberglass gratings and pultruded fiberglass gratings provide unmatched corrosion resistance properties, especially when compared to other metal flooring products. Strength, long life and safety are also superior qualities of our fiberglass grating products, and their electrically non-conductive properties make them the ideal option. Choose from our custom resin types for a fiberglass product that is tailored to suit your corrosion resistance needs. We offer many types of fiberglass gratings for all your different loading applications. Fiberglass grating applications range from architectural sun screening to standard walkways and high load rolling applications. Grit surfaces and standard stock colors or custom colors are provided to suit your application.

Molded Molded Fiberglass Grating
Molded fiberglass grating is a fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) that combines fiberglass rovings with thermosetting resin to form a strong, one-piece molded panel. A 65%/35% resin to glass weight ratio provides high corrosion resistance. Meniscus surfaces or applied grit surfaces provide unparalleled slip resistance when compared to other flooring products. This product is better suited for corrosive environments.
Pultruded Pultruded Fiberglass Grating
Pultruded fiberglass grating is made using premium grade isophthalic polyester, vinyl ester or phenolic resin systems with a synthetic surfacing veil, making it corrosion resistant, lightweight and durable. Pultruded fiberglass has a grit surface for safety and a greater strength to weight ratio than molded fiberglass grating. A 35%/65% resin to glass ratio provides greater strength and less corrosion resistance than molded fiberglass. This product is better suited for longer spans.
High Load High Load Fiberglass Grating Systems
High load fiberglass grating systems are similar to the normal load fiberglass resin systems, except high load fiberglass can provide greater durability for higher load traffic areas. This is perfect when heavy fork lift and tractor trailer loads are expected.
Fiberglass Covered Grating
Our fiberglass covered grating is a long-lasting, molded fiberglass floor product that combines slip-resistant plate and molded grating manufactured with any of our resin systems. It is the ideal choice when a 100% covered flooring surface is needed. Our fiberglass covered grating is often used in loading and storage areas with high foot and cart traffic, where a strong, level surface is ideal. It offers approximately 50% higher stiffness values than that of open mesh grating, and its standard grit-top cover assures secure footing.
Bullet Resistant Fiberglass Plate
Our bullet resistant fiberglass plate offers superior ballistic resistance at a weight less than 25% that of a comparable steel panel. Now available for commercial security applications for your business, home or governmental facility, these fiberglass panels offer ballistic resistant security with the additional performance advantages of durability, corrosion resistance, electrical non-conductivity, low thermal conductivity and light weight.
Heavy Duty Fiberglass Grating
Our heavy duty fiberglass grating is available in both molded and pultruded grating systems. Both are designed to carry forklift and tractor-trailer loads that traditional molded and pultruded FRP grating products are not designed to support. Heavy duty fiberglass grating provides greater durability for higher volume traffic areas as well.
Fiberglass Stair Treads and Fiberglass Stair Tread Covers
Lightweight and easy to install, fiberglass stair treads are available in both molded and pultruded types to match the fiberglass floor grating platforms. Fiberglass stair tread covers are made from a molded glass and resin system that is corrosion and impact resistant, fire retardant and non-conductive. They provide a cost effective, slip-resistant protective surface for concrete, metal and wood steps.
Fiberglass Grating Handrails and Fiberglass Ladders
Fiberglass handrail systems are fabricated from pultruded fiberglass components and molded thermoplastic connectors. Our modular fiberglass grating handrail systems are available in 2-inch square or 2-inch round configurations that are easy to grip, making them ideal for any high traffic area. Our fiberglass ladders and cages can be installed in a variety of applications from sumps to tanks, buildings, piers, portable equipment, etc., providing years of strength and dependability.
Fiberglass Attachments and Fiberglass Clips
Our fiberglass grating attachments and clips are specially designed to secure fiberglass grating or plates to the supporting structures. Additionally, they are used to fasten together adjacent grating panels, which minimizes load-induced differential deflection. All fiberglass attachments and clips are made of Type 316 stainless steel and are available in 1-, 1-1/2- and 2-inch sizes.
Fiberglass Floor Plates
Fiberglass floor plates feature a non-conductive surface that makes them an economical and safe solution to walking surfaces. In caustic and/or acidic conditions, fiberglass floor plates provide a level of corrosion resistance that is unequaled, even when compared to stainless steel. Fiberglass plate is available with a non-grit surface or with a grit surface where anti-slip traction is needed.
Fiberglass Structural Shapes
Our fiberglass structural shapes and pultruded fiberglass profiles are made from a combination of fiberglass and thermosetting resin systems. All shapes are lightweight, impact resistant, low maintenance, non-magnetic, low conductive and have dimensional stability, making them easy to install and ideal for several applications. Custom shapes are available upon request.
