Molded Fiberglass Grating
BENEFITS OF MOLDED FIBERGLASS GRATING:
- Bi-directional strength - Most cutouts require no additional support
- Extended Service Life
- Fire Retardant - ASTM E84, Class 1, F.S. 25 or less
- High Impact Resistance
- Highest level of corrosion resistance
- Low Maintenance
American Grating LLC’s molded frp gratings are manufactured in a one piece construction which results in a bi-directionally strong product. This allows openings for piping or cables in the grating of up to 10” without any additional support required (may vary depending on grating depth and location of opening). During the molded manufacturing process, the continuous fiberglass rovings are completely covered in a high percentage of resin, 65% by volume. With this high resin content, molded gratings are the most chemically resistant gratings offered and are often used in caustic chemical environments without hesitation.
See our Chemical Resistance Guide and Resin Selection Guide for more information and to determine which resin system is right for your application.
WE MANUFACTURE SQUARE AND RECTANGULAR MESH MOLDED GRATINGS IN A WIDE VARIETY OF SIZES, COLORS, AND SURFACE TYPES:
Standard Colors stocked are Light Gray, Green and Yellow in sizes:
- 3’ x 10’
- 4’ x 8’
- 4’ x 12’
- 5’ x 10’
Custom Colors & Sizes:
- Since we own and operate our factory, we are able to custom manufacture any color from the RAL color chart, provide translucent grating for an architecturally aesthetically attractive appearance and manufacture custom panel sizes for large, repetitive applications.
Surface types:
- Concave Surface (meniscus profile) – This is how the grating comes naturally out of the mold. The raised edges form a lip which offers slip resistance.
- Grit Surface – Excellent slip resistant surface
- Barefoot Grit - Perfect for Water park applications or parks where little feet may be barefoot yet still require slip resistance.
- Standard Grit - Most commonly used
- Aluminum Oxide Grit - Heavy Industrial Application
- Smooth Surface – Great for Bar Screens at Wastewater Treatment plants or Architectural applications
- Conductive Black Grit Surface - For use in high static areas. When grounded, the conductive surface allows the build-up of dangerous static electricity to be drained from the surface.
Molded Gratings are commonly used in a variety of applications, including, but not limited to:
- Chemical Storage
- Containment Areas
- Elevated Walkways
- Floorings
- Food Processing
- Plating Lines
- Sump & Trench Covers
- Stairs
