How strong is the FRP grating?

FRP grating is a composite material composed of the resin matrix and glass fiber. FRP gratings do not corrode like steel gratings, so they are used in corrosive environments, reducing maintenance costs. They are used in a variety of applications such as sidewalks and elevated platforms. FRP grating is a structural product that supports loads across its span.


FRP is 70% lighter than steel and has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Fiber grid FRP has a high strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional materials such as metal, concrete, and wood. FRP grating can even be strong enough to carry vehicular loads while being lighter than steel gratings.


Molded fiberglass grating is a grid composed of horizontal and vertical layers of liquid resin and continuous fiberglass rovings. As the name suggests, it is made with a large mold.


Due to the multidirectional strength of molded FRP grating, cuts to make room for plumbing or to navigate complex floor layouts require no additional reinforcement. Another advantage of molded FRP is that it comes in standard sizes and can be ordered in bulk and stored until needed.


Pultruded FRP gratings use different manufacturing processes. It uses resin and fiberglass and bonds them into a new composite material through a series of steps.


No molds are used, so you can freely create different shapes and sizes. And generally less waste. Pultruded FRP gratings have a high glass-to-resin ratio for increased strength and span capability.



Features of FRP grating


1. Smoldering and insulating properties.


2. Non-slip.


3. Low cost.


4. Long service life.


5. High strength.



6. Lightweight.


7. Preservatives.


8. Easy to install.


Molded gratings are used to replace traditional materials in FRP solutions for a wide range of applications and environments. Terragrate FRP products can be used on non-slip floors, walkways/sidewalks, operating platforms, docks, ramps, trench covers, and even stairs.
