Why Choose Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Grating?

As well as being versatile and cost effective, GRP gratings are lighter and more durable than steel, offering a high resistance to corrosion. They are fire retardant, chemical resistant and non-conductive with a high strength to weight ratio and require virtually no maintenance. GRP gratings are suitable for many applications, providing safe and cost-effective anti-slip flooring solutions where long term performance in aggressive corrosive or chemical environments is required. Applications include: Platforms, factory floors Food processing plants Chemical plants Oil rigs Substation floors Walkways Ramps Raised flooring Pontoons Trench covers When used vertically, GRP gratings can be used as debris and litter screens or machine guards. OTHER APPLICATIONS Trackside Walkways GRP Gratings are lightweight and chemical resistant, making them a long lasting and cost effective alternative to steel or wooden trackside walkways. Gullies and Guttering GRP gratings over gullies and guttering allow liquids to drain away whilst providing a safe anti-slip walking surface for people. Industrial Flooring One of the most common uses for GRP gratings is flooring. Because of its superior heat and chemical resistance, GRP is perfect for industrial flooring and walkways. Roof Walkways Because they are lightweight, easy to install and resistant to the elements, GRP gratings the perfect choice for roof walkways. They can be cut to suit and assembled modularly, so even challenging roofs surfaces can benefit from safe walkways. BENEFITS OF GRP Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is a very useful material and used in many industries, including industrial, commercial and residential sectors. Some of the benefits of GRP include: High Strength-to-Weight Ratio GRP is a strong yet lightweight material that can bear heavy loads. Its weight makes it easy to install and very economical to transport. Low Maintenance GRP requires virtually no maintenance. Colour Option Many GRP products including gratings, handrails, gates and fencing are commonly installed outside in areas of high footfall or with greater volumes of daily traffic. Colours used within GRP go through a process of pigmentation, meaning that there is no fade or discolouration regardless of where the product is used. Affordable Material used construction can be expensive, but GRP is affordable, and requires virtually no maintenance or upkeep, saving on additional costs. GRP is also long-lasting reducing the need for replacements at regular intervals. Versatile The flexibility of GRP means it can be moulded to any specification, making it an extremely versatile material to use. Corrosion Resistant Offering exceptional corrosion resistance, GRP is highly tolerant of the most aggressive of environments. UV Stability GRP is waterproof, making it ideal for use on roofs, walkways and other outdoor applications. Durability GRP products are designed to be durable regardless of the environment they are installed in GRP is an incredibly resilient and durable material that delivers outstanding cost benefits. The unique properties of GRP mean that the condition of the product doesn’t deteriorates when exposed to the elements. Anti-Slip Finish When wet, GRP remains a safe and secure product to use in any wet or damp conditions.
