25mm and 38mm Open Mesh GRP Grating

Open Mesh GRP Grating

GRP Open Mesh Grating for Platforms, Walkways, Flooring, Ramps and Covers - GRP Open Mesh Grating is a versatile, reliable, high quality flooring and a credible alternative to steel mesh grating. With proven reliability in high traffic areas giving excellent slip resistance it works equally well in all sorts of aggressive and corrosive environments and at extremes of temperature.
GRP Open Mesh Grating Available in: Green, Grey or Yellow. In 25mm or 38mm thickness.
Very easy to install due to its relatively lightweight construction (circa half the weight of steel versions) and once in place, can simply be left and forgotten as there's no ongoing maintenance needed.

GRP Open Mesh Grating Also available: 50mm thickness.

Anti Slip Surface - tested in accordance with BS 7976 with slip potential rated 'Extremely Low', achieving only 5% reduction after 1 million footfalls. Durable 10-year guarantee for normal use environments.

Fire Resistant - meets Class B fire rating in accordance with BS EN 13501.

Lightweight - only 1/3 the weight of steel, GRP Grating is a convenient, fast, and safe installation material, reducing the risk of manual handling injuries, and can be easily cut on-site without the need for hot works permits.

Non-Conductive - GRP acts as an insulator making it ideal for application in and around HV plant and equipment. It can also be supplied with a carbon finish to provide static discharge characteristics needed in electro-static sensitive environments.

Open Mesh GRP Grating
GRP Grating structure, load deflection.

Designed to be long lasting with a high strength to weight ratio. Moulded Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) grating is formed using continuous interwoven glass fibres as reinforcement material and resin as the matrix with continuous solidification through a mould system. The uniform construction provides excellent bi-directional mechanical properties.

Slip resistant
Anti-slip gritted grating has quartz crystal bonded to the top surface ensuring an extremely durable and slip resistant surface. This type of grating has one of the highest degrees of slip resistance measured for a walking surface.

A laboratory slipperiness assessment was undertaken by the Health & Safety Laboratory (UK) in accordance with guidelines recommended by United Kingdom Slip Resistance Group (Issue 2,2000) and protocols outlined in BS 7976:2.

Corrosion and chemical resistant
Corrosion is a major problem within industries such as chemical, steel, food and beverage, water and wastewater, power – the list goes on. GRP Grating is particularly designed to provide safe, long-lasting, economical and worry-free solutions in environments where chemicals and other corrosives attack metal, wood and similar materials.

All grating products listed have a Type O - Orthophthalic Polyester resin finish. Depending on the environment, resins such as Isophthalic polyester, or Vinylester may be used in the manufacture of our Grating.

Fire resistant
GRP Grating has been tested in accordance with the ASTM E–84 tunnel test. Depending on the resin type it achieves a Class 1 flame spread rating of between 5–25 or less.

GRP Open Mesh Grating can be used on:
Walkways, platforms, flooring, bridges, trench covers, access ramps, cat walks, loading docks, risers, pontoons, gantries, work stations, plating areas, mines, chemical environments, food processing facilities, wash bays, engineering environments, offshore facilities, dropped object protection, industrial, commercial and domestic sites.
