Fibreglass Grating
|
Fibreglass grating has been proven to have superior mechanical properties over traditional materials such as wood or steel. Available in a wide range of sizes and colours, our non slip fibreglass grating is corrosion resistant, chemical resistant, impact resistant and lightweight we also offer fibreglass non slip grating particularly suited to wet or oily conditions and creating fibreglass ramps, platforms and walkways.
Key Benefits
|
Fire Resistant - Our fibreglass grating has been tested in accordance with BS476 and has achieved a class 1 flame spread rating or less. Our entire range of gratings is fire resistant. A fire test report is available upon request. |
|
Chemical Resistant - Fibreglass products are corrosion resistant over a wide pH range both acidic and caustic. This corrosion resistance is achieved by the use of premium grade orthothalic and vinyl-ester resins. Chemical resistance data is available upon request. |
|
Slip Resistant - The slip resistant feature of fibreglass grating is created during the moulding process when the top surface naturally shrinks back to create a concave effect surface. This provides positive traction over a wide range of environmental conditions such as wet or oily surfaces and is particulary suited to applications such as fibreglass ramps, platforms and walkways. A hard wearing quartz grit is then added for heavy duty applications, providing an extended life and superior anti-slip properties. |
|
Impact Resistant - Fibreglass non slip grating allows repeated deflection without causing permanent damage or deformation. Deflection will occur with the impact of a heavy object upon our fibreglass non slip grating. However, once the object is removed, fibreglass non slip grating will return to its original shape and position, unlike metallic grating, which will remain deformed. This eliminates the need for costly replacement gratings. A copy of our grating deflection data is available upon request. |
|
High Strength - Fibreglass grating has superior strength and load bearing capabilities due to the high glass to resin ratio. With a tensile strength higher (kilo per kilo) than steel, fibreglass products are the ideal solution for many safety and access problems. |

Anglia Composites anti slip fibreglass grating is available from stock in depths from 10mm right up to 60mm in three different panel sizes and three different colours making our range of non slip fibreglass gratings second to none. We can also manufacture bespoke gratings to any size and RAL colour with short lead times. |
An introduction to moulded fibreglass grating manufacturing process
|
 |
Continuous fibreglass roving is placed in an open, heated mould in alternating layers, wetted out thoroughly with resin. This process produces an integral, one-piece construction, which offers excellent corrosion resistance and bi-directional strength. The mould is heated to cure the panel after the fiberglass-roving / weaving process. Upon curing, the panel is ejected from the mould, and at this time, the panel will have a concave (meniscus) top surface for slip resistance. A hard wearing quartz grit is then added to the top surface to provide maximum anti-slip properties combined with a long life. |

Warning- All fibreglass gratings are not created equal. There are many sellers out there who will offer you very low prices for gratings. You should ask yourself why they are so cheap. The answer is simple. They use inferior resins, too much filler and no quality control all resulting in a product which is not only of poor quality but is dangerous. Time and again we have replaced low cost gratings with our high quality gratings. We use only the best quality products sourced from around the world to create the highest quality gratings possible. We are an ISO registered company and make sure all our materials and suppliers are working to the same high standard so before you purchase cheap gratings ask yourself if you really want to take the chance of it failing and causing a serious injury or even death. |
