Pultruded and molded fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP/GRP) grating for industrial platforms, walkways, trench covers, stair treads and structural flooring. Manufactured from E-glass fiber and corrosion-resistant resin, offering excellent chemical resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, slip resistance and long service life as a superior alternative to steel and aluminum grating.
Explore our range of molded and pultruded FRP grating for industrial flooring, platforms, walkways, trench covers and stair treads. Available in standard square mesh, mini mesh, micro mesh and rectangular mesh configurations, with custom panel sizes, resin systems and surface finishes.
FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) grating is a structural flooring material manufactured from continuous E-glass fiber reinforcement and thermosetting resin. Molded grating is produced by laying glass fibers in a mold in both directions and saturating them with resin, creating a one-piece panel with exceptional bi-directional strength. Pultruded grating is manufactured by pulling continuous glass fibers through a resin bath and heated die, resulting in higher stiffness and load capacity.
Our FRP grating products are available in standard square mesh (38×38 mm, 40×40 mm, 50×50 mm), mini mesh (19×19/38×38 mm, 20×20/40×40 mm), micro mesh and rectangular mesh configurations. Standard panel sizes include 1220×3660 mm, 1220×2440 mm, 1000×2000 mm, 915×3050 mm and other dimensions. Available resin systems include orthophthalic polyester, isophthalic polyester and vinyl ester for different chemical exposure levels.
We supply FRP grating for overseas distributors, industrial buyers, construction companies, maintenance companies and OEM customers, with free design drawings and free solution support to ensure your project meets its specific load, span and corrosion requirements.
FRP grating combines corrosion resistance, lightweight construction, high strength and slip safety, making it superior to traditional materials in many demanding industrial environments.
FRP grating does not rust and resists acids, alkalis, salt water and most industrial chemicals. The resin system can be matched to the specific chemical exposure for optimal performance.
With a density approximately 1/4 that of steel, FRP grating is easy to handle and install while providing excellent load-bearing performance. Pultruded grating weighs only 25% of steel and 70% of aluminum on an equal volume basis.
Gritted anti-slip surfaces maintain high performance even after one million footfalls. Concave (meniscus) surfaces provide superior slip resistance in most environments.
FRP grating is non-conductive and non-magnetic, making it suitable for electrical infrastructure, switchgear and other sensitive applications.
We provide free CAD design drawings, engineering calculations and technical recommendations to ensure your grating specification is correct for the load, span and environment.
Suitable for industrial distributors, construction companies, OEM customers and bulk purchasing programs.
We provide complimentary engineering support to ensure your FRP grating specification is optimized for safety, performance and cost efficiency. Share your project requirements and our team will deliver the solution.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specific Gravity | ~1.9 g/cm³ | 7.85 g/cm³ | 2.70 g/cm³ | 0.6–0.8 g/cm³ |
| Weight (Equivalent Volume) | ~25% of steel; ~70% of aluminum | Heavy | Light | Medium |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent; resin system matched to environment | Requires coating or galvanizing | Good in many environments | Poor; requires protection |
| Slip Resistance | Excellent (gritted/concave surfaces) | Depends on surface pattern | Depends on surface profile | Can become slippery when wet |
| Electrical Conductivity | Non-conductive | Conductive | Conductive | Variable with moisture |
| Maintenance Requirement | Low; no painting required | High (coating inspection) | Low | High (sealing, treatment) |
| Typical Service Life | Long in matched environment | Tied to corrosion protection | Good in suitable environments | Dependent on moisture |

* Values are typical reference values for common grades and may vary depending on specific products and formulations. FRP grating offers the best combination of corrosion resistance, lightweight construction and low maintenance. Steel provides maximum stiffness and load capacity. Aluminum is a lightweight metallic alternative. Timber is economical but requires more maintenance. Always confirm with our technical team for your application.

FRP grating is used across a wide range of industries where corrosion resistance, slip safety, lightweight construction and low maintenance are critical.
Platforms, walkways, trench covers and equipment access areas resistant to acids, alkalis and aggressive chemical spills.
Weirs, baffles, walkways and covers in wet, corrosive and biologically active environments.
Dock walkways, ship decks, offshore platforms and corrosion-resistant flooring in salt water environments.
Cooling tower platforms, cable trenches, and non-conductive flooring in electrical infrastructure areas.
Wash-down areas, floor drains and platforms requiring easy cleaning and chemical resistance.
Elevated platforms, maintenance accessways, stair treads and mezzanine flooring in warehouses and factories.
The correct grating type, mesh size, thickness and resin system should be selected based on span, load, chemical exposure and environmental conditions.
Choose molded grating for bi-directional strength and impact resistance; choose pultruded grating for higher stiffness, longer spans and heavier concentrated loads.
Select mesh size based on required open area, drainage and ball-fall safety requirements. Thickness determines load capacity and deflection.
Orthophthalic polyester for general use; isophthalic polyester for enhanced corrosion resistance; vinyl ester for maximum chemical resistance in aggressive environments.
Specify gritted surface for slip safety, concave for general use, or covered for odor containment. Confirm fire rating, ASTM F3059 or other compliance requirements.
Precision fiber placement, resin impregnation and curing are critical for reliable FRP grating performance.
Continuous E-glass fibers are arranged in both directions for molded grating, or in the load direction for pultruded grating.
Fibers are saturated with resin and shaped in a heated mold (molded) or pulled through a heated die (pultruded) to form the grating structure.
Panels are inspected for dimensional accuracy, mesh uniformity, surface quality and load performance.
Panels are cut to standard or custom sizes, and packaged with protective materials for safe transport.
