Molded Resin Fiberglass Grating |
 |
|
Molded
resin fiberglass grating is a good choice when a lightweight,
corrosion and high impact resistant material is desired. The
available grit surface provides excellent, long lasting, slip
resistance to the fiberglass product.

 Important
Features of Molded Fiberglass Grating:
• Lightweight - 1/3 the weight of steel
• High impact resistance
• Long service life
• Low thermal conductivity
• Bi-directional strength
• Non-conductive
• Corrosion resistant
• Skid resistant
Combining unmatched corrosion resistance
with strength, long life and safety, Fibergrate® Composite
Structures Incorporated sets the standard for fiberglass
reinforced plastic (FRP) molded grating. For more than
three decades, Fibergrate’s molded fiberglass products
have been proven to deliver years of reliable service,
even in the most demanding corrosive conditions – conditions
which can cause conventional steel grating to deteriorate
rapidly.
Fibergrate® molded fiberglass
grating combines fiberglass rovings with thermosetting
resin to form a strong, one-piece molded panel. A 65% resin
to glass weight ratio provides corrosion resistance characteristics
that are unparalleled by other flooring products.
The Standard
of Quality:
Combining advanced resin systems, a unique pattern
of fiber reinforcement, proven manufacturing techniques
and stringent quality control procedures, Fibergrate® sets
the standard for fiberglass grating.
Fibergrate® molded grating
offers a number of features that set it apart from any
other flooring product. Its ability to resist impact is
unmatched, yet it weighs about one-third that of steel
grating and is easy to fabricate, so it is less expensive
to install. While steel grating requires costly and time-consuming
cutting and welding, along with special lifting equipment,
Fibergrate’s grating involves fewer man-hours and
only simple hand tools for installation. In fact, the savings
on labor and equipment often make the total installed cost
of Fibergrate’s molded grating about the same as
that of steel; and considering its long, maintenance free
life, Fibergrate’s molded grating offers a significantly
lower overall life cycle cost.
For enhanced worker safety,
Fibergrate’s molded grating is slip resistant and
non-conductive, with a flame spread rating unsurpassed
by any competitive product. Concern for an ergonomic work
environment
in facility planning leads more and more companies to rely
on the inherent resiliency of Fibergrate® molded grating
to increase worker productivity by greatly reducing back
and leg fatigue.
As part of the company’s continuous quality
control effort, Fibergrate® Quality Assurance experts
routinely subject Fibergrate® molded grating to extreme
tests for chemical resistance, stability under ultraviolet
exposure, impact resistance, load carrying capacity and
strength. |
