Applications & Benefits

Impact Resistant

Fibreglass Grating is very flexible and may be repeatedly deflected without causing permanent deformation. Once the load is removed, Fibreglass Grating will return to its original shape, unlike metallic grating, which will remain deformed and require replacement. High energy absorption and flexibility of Fibreglass Grating makes it impact resistant.

Anti-Slip

Fibreglass Grating is available with a choice of concave or gritted surface finish. Both offer excellent slip resistant properties and the resilience of both types means personnel will find it more comfortable to stand, thus reducing fatigue.

Lightweight

At only 12kgs per square metre (25mm high) and 18kgs per square metre (38mm high), Fibreglass Grating is very easy to install and requires no heavy lifting equipment.

Fire Resistant

Fibreglass Grating has been tested in accordance with ASTM E-84 tunnel test. It achieved a Class 1 flame spread rating of 25 or less.

Non-Magnetic and Non-Sparking

Non-magnetic properties allows Fibreglass Grating to be used in sensitive installations where the inherent magnetic properties of metallic grating would prove to be dangerous.

Fibreglass Grating is ideally suited for those installations where hydrogen or other combustible gases may be present and which may explode or cause a fire from sparks produced by accidental dropping of tools onto the grating.

Maintenance Free

The use of Fibreglass Grating virtually eliminates maintenance costs since painting is not required, and UV inhibitors protect against degration from the sun.
