GRP Grating

GRP grating offers a compelling alternative to traditional steel or aluminium grating in environments where corrosion, weight and slip resistance are all key considerations. Our glass reinforced plastic grating panels combine a rigid, open-grid structure with an integral anti-slip grit surface, delivering outstanding performance on walkways, platforms, drainage channels, mezzanine floors and industrial access areas.

The core advantage of GRP over metal grating is corrosion resistance. Where steel would rust and aluminium would corrode in the presence of chemicals, seawater, treated water or aggressive industrial environments, GRP remains completely unaffected. This makes it the preferred choice for water treatment plants, chemical handling facilities, offshore and marine applications, food production and swimming pool surrounds.

Our GRP grating is available in a range of mesh sizes and depths to suit different load and ventilation requirements. All panels can be cut to size on site using standard cutting tools, and fixing clips are available to secure panels in position. Panels are lightweight compared to steel alternatives - significantly reducing installation time and labour costs.

FAQ

Q: What load can GRP grating support?

Load capacity depends on the panel depth, span and support configuration. Our GRP grating is typically suitable for pedestrian loads and light industrial wheeled traffic. For specific load requirements, please refer to the product specifications or contact us for a recommendation.

Q: Is GRP grating suitable for food production environments?

Yes. GRP grating is widely used in food processing facilities because it is non-corrosive, non-sparking, easy to clean and unaffected by food acids, sanitisers and cleaning chemicals. It also does not harbour bacteria in the way that rusty steel grating can.

Q: Can GRP grating be used as drainage grating?

Yes — the open grid structure of GRP grating makes it ideal for drainage applications including drainage channels, trench covers and wet-area floor drainage. Water and liquids pass freely through the grid while the surface provides a safe walking platform.

Q: What mesh sizes are available?

We stock standard mesh configurations typically with 38mm x 38mm grid apertures. For specific mesh requirements or custom sizes, please contact us to discuss your project.
