Why GRP Grating?
It comes down to common sense, on lower cost, durability, safety and handling. You can now think beyond traditional metal gratings and find many situations where such a product is the better alternative.
GRP Composite materials are replacing conventional materials and major asset-owners are fostering innovation and steadily increasing the use in so many applications. By combining fibreglass rovings with thermosetting resin, these are proven to withstand the effects of corrosion and are highly impact resistant, and each day newly found applications are discovered,
They meet the same specified load requirements as steel and are more resistant to impact. Due to the wide variety of applications for GRP gratings, we offer a range of different sizes and resin systems to suit various environments.
Our gratings are all manufactured to BS EN ISO 9001:2000 standards.
Uses

Fire Resistance
GRP gratings also have high fire and weather resistance. No matter what happens, our grating will maintain its structure and reliability.
Our gratings meet the Class 1 Flame Spread rating of 25 or less, in accordance with ASTM E-84 Tunnel Test Method. If a flame spread requirement of less than 25 is required we can supply this bespoke. Get in touch today if you have specific requirements.
UV Stability
Our anti-slip products are ideal outside as well as inside. All of our GRP gratings are manufactured with high quality UV inhibitors to prevent degradation from UV rays.
Structural Specifications
Strength of GRP
In tests involving impact resistance and strength-to-weight ratio, GRP gratings consistently outperform their metal equivalents.
Just 38mm of gratings 1 metre wide, can easily withstand 1/2 ton per square metre. The performance improved when the width is reduced: at 300mm wide, the 38mm grating will withstand loads in excess of 12 tons.
This performance makes GRP gratings ideal for all pedestrian traffic and medium loadings.
Maintenance and Costs
You'll find GRP gratings easy to lift, transport, install and maintain. This is all thanks to their light weight and easy-clean design. Since they are resistant to weather erosion and chemical corrosion, you can enjoy a GRP grating for its entire 25 year life plus.
Manufactured according to ISO 9001, the structural integrity of the GRP gratings is high grade
