Anti-slip moulded grating

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

FibreGrid are leaders in GRP Fibreglass Grating technology. FibreGrid moulded grating is said to offer a cost effective alternative to traditional steel with the advantages that it is fire retardant, corrosion and impact resistant, anti-slip, and easy to fit and manoeuvre because it is so light, and easy to clean.

Unlike steel, it won’t buckle if heavy objects bump into it, which makes it suitable for walkways. Gratings can be produced in virtually any colour (with an extended lead time), and in various sizes.

The open mesh flooring comes with a slip resistant top surface as standard and easily exceeds the minimum requirements of the ‘extremely low’ potential for slip rating demanded by the UK Slip Resistant Group Guide of 2002.

At only 12.3kg per square metre (25mm high) and 19.5kg per square metre (38mm high), you don’t need any heavy lifting gear or specialist equipment. A two-person team can easily complete the job.

The fire retardant grating has been tested in accordance with BS 476: Part 7 and also meets the requirements of Class 2. If you need a higher resistance and low smoke generation, then a phenolic resin is available. Unlike steel, there is no danger of sparking if metal objects are dropped on the grating.

The grating can be used in the toughest conditions, such as oil rigs, chemical plants and coastal applications, with a choice of chemical resistant resins
