1. What Is Custom Composite / FRP Grating?

The Composite / FRP Grating is a specially designed and manufactured grating system made from fiberglass reinforced plastic. Unlike steel grating, FRP Grating is produced through a molded or pultruded process where continuous glass fibers are impregnated with thermosetting resin and formed into a grid pattern. This Composite / FRP Grating supports personnel foot traffic and equipment access in environments where steel would corrode quickly. The grid structure allows for proper drainage and airflow, preventing water accumulation and keeping the walkway surface dry and slip-resistant. The inherent corrosion resistance of FRP Grating ensures it does not rust or degrade during its service life.

Composite / FRP Grating can be cut with standard carbide-tipped tools to accommodate various configurations like curves, slopes, and irregular shapes, making them suitable for complex industrial layouts. These FRP Grating sections can be mounted on steel or concrete beams using special mounting clips or adhesive systems, making them versatile for whole-facility access needs. They are particularly popular in chemical and marine applications, as the Composite / FRP Grating provides lasting protection against acids, alkalis, salts, and moisture.

The open design of the Composite / FRP Grating allows for natural drainage and ventilation, preventing the accumulation of corrosive media on the surface. Additionally, FRP Grating is electrically non-conductive and does not spark, making it safe for use in explosive or electrical environments.

Lanye offers a range of Composite / FRP Grating in both molded and pultruded styles, with bearing bar heights from 25 to 50 mm, grid patterns typically of 38×38 mm or 50×50 mm, and standard panel sizes of 1220×3660 mm or 1000×4000 mm.
