FRP/GRP Gratings
FRP/GRP Gratings are manufactured using high-strength fiberglass roving and resin systems (isophthalic polyester, vinyl ester, or phenolic resin), offering exceptional resistance to corrosion, fire, and impact. These gratings are available in both molded and pultruded forms, catering to different load-bearing and structural requirements.
Types of FRP Gratings
Manufactured by interweaving continuous fiberglass strands with resin.
Ideal for applications requiring corrosion resistance and bi-directional strength.
Suitable for environments with high impact requirements.
Composed of continuous fiberglass strands pultruded through resin to form a unidirectional load-bearing structure.
Designed for applications needing high strength and large spans.
Best suited for environments with greater load-bearing demands but lower impact requirements.

Why Choose FRP Gratings?
Corrosion Resistance
FRP gratings are chemically inert and can withstand corrosive environments such as chemical plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and marine settings.
Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Despite being lightweight (1/4 the weight of steel), FRP gratings offer strength comparable to steel, making them easier to handle and install without compromising structural integrity.
High Temperature and Fire Retardant
With a Class 1 ASTM E-84 fire rating, FRP gratings meet stringent fire safety standards. Phenolic resin gratings, in particular, offer superior fire resistance and low smoke emission, making them ideal for offshore and hazardous environments.
Slip Resistance
Available with both concave and gritted surface finishes, our gratings minimize the risk of slips and falls in oily, wet, or high-traffic areas.
Impact Resistance
FRP gratings have high impact tolerance, allowing them to withstand heavy industrial use without permanent deformation.
