Pultruded Resin Fiberglass Grating |
 |
|
Combining corrosion resistance,
long life and a maintenance-
free design, Safe-T-Span® pultruded grating is superior to
conventional metals. This advanced grating is also lightweight
and easy to fabricate, making it less expensive to install. In
fact, the savings on labor and equipment often make the total installed
cost of Safe-T-Span® grating comparable to that of steel. Combining
it’s low cost of installation with maintenance-free long-life,
Safe-T-Span® is manufactured
with a recessed tie bar configuration and an inherent resiliency
which reduces back and leg strain and contributes to ergonomics
and worker productivity.

Features and Benefits Details of Pultruded Fiberglass
Grating:
Corrosion Resistance - based on the
use of premium grade, isophthalic polyester or vinyl ester
resin systems and a synthetic surfacing veil.
Lightweight
yet durable - less than one-half the weight of steel grating
allowing easy removal for access below floor level and
installation with no heavy equipment and less manpower
required.
Added Safety - durable grit surface, permanently
bonded and baked to the grating surface, for a safe, slip-resistant
walkway.
Fire Retardant - flame spread rating of 15 or less,
according to ASTM E-84; meets the self-extinguishing requirements
of ASTM D-635.
Maintenance Free - corrosion resistant and
requires no scraping, sandblasting or painting; install
it and forget it.
UV Protection - UV inhibitors included
in the resin formulation, along with a surfacing
veil and grit top surface for optimum protection from the
effects of weathering.
Easily Fabricated - no need for lifting
equipment or expensive tools; can be easily carried by
two workers and cut using standard circular or saber saws
fitted with carbide blades.
Electrically
and Thermally Non-Conductive - providing additional worker
safety
Electronically Transparent - does not affect electromagnetic
or radio wave frequencies.
Safe-T-Span® Quality:
All of Fibergrate’s pultruded gratings are manufactured
with a high percentage of glass within the laminate, providing
durability, extremely high unidirectional strength and
stiffness. Due to its exceptional stiffness, Safe-T-Span
pultruded grating can be used with confidence in applications
where wide support spans are required. For most applications
where it is used to replace corroding steel grating, Safe-T-Span
rarely requires additional support. Designed specifically
for pedestrian walkways, Safe-T-Span pedestrian floor grating
is ideal for any application where a corrosion-resistant,
durable, lightweight surface material is required. Safe-T-Span
pedestrian grating is available in 1” and 11⁄2” depths
and in several configurations and panel sizes. 1” deep
Safe-T-Span pedestrian grating is designed for access areas
and walkways where pedestrian traffic is the heaviest load.
11⁄2” Safe-T-Span
pedestrian pultruded grating is approximately three times
stiffer than the 1” deep
version and is used for applications where wider spans
(up to 72”) or lower deflection
criteria are required. |
