Fiberglass grating has many advantages over steel grating, not only for performance but also cost competitveness. The wide range of gratings available can satisfy general industrial needs or high load requirements like forklift traffic. http://www.dfwgrating.com/fiberglass-grating.php

2. What is FRP grating?
• Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic grating is a composite material used in a
wide array of construction industries.
• It consists of a mixture of fiberglass and resin that is made into one-
piece panels orcan be custom made to fit the unique shape of a floor.

3. Molded FRP Grating
Molded FRP grating is made using a mold where the glass is
layered. These floor grates are less expensive than pultruded FRP
floor grating, but have a much higher resin content giving them
more corrosion resistance, although they have less structural load
capacity.

4. Molded Fiberglass grating is ideal for corrosive environments with a lot
of foot traffic, including wastewater treatment plants, industrial and
chemical plants, corrosive environments like marine or urban locations,
powerplants, etc.

5. Pultruded FRP Grating
• These fiberglass floor grates are created by pulling glass strands
through a machine, which are then sealed together into the desired
shape.
• Pultruded fiberglass grating comes in a wide variety of shapes,
thicknesses, and cross bar assemblies, depending on the load
requirements of the application

6. Pultruded Grating consists of a series of parallel bearing bars. The
bearing bars typically have a ‘T’ or ‘I’ shaped profile. The closer the
bearing bars are together, the strongerthe grating.

7. Pultruded can only bear weight in the direction of the bearing
bears, while moulded grating can support weight from any
direction.

8. Benefits of FRP Grating
• Low Maintenance Cost – thefiberglassand resin component makethe
product very hard wearing, reducing theneed to maintain it.
• Impact Resistant – theflexibility and high strength to weight ratio of FRP
allowsfor agreater load bearing capacity.
• Reduced Installation Time – compared to other products, dueto it being
lightweight, FRPiseasy to install which minimizes theoverall cost of
construction.
• Corrosion Resistant – becausesteel isparticularly susceptibleto damage
from theelements, FRPgrating isacost effectivealternative, particularly in
corrosiveenvironments.
