Capital Floorings moulded fibreglass grating
Chemical & Corrosion Resistance
Grating Company moulded fibreglass grating is manufactured using high strength fibreglass
rovings and a range of premium grade thermosetting resins. A high resin content of nominally
65-70% provides long maintenance free performance in corrosive environments.
High strength to weight ratio
The use of high strength E-glass roving reinforcement, moulded to form a square mesh grating
panel, produces a strong flooring system suitable for safe pedestrian traffic on a wide range of spans.
Light weight and manageable
The composite used in the construction of Grating Company moulded grating has a specific gravity
one-fourth that of steel and two-thirds that of aluminium which considerably simplifies installation
and handling. Unlike metallic grating, moulded grating panels can be easily cut on site using only
hand tools. The ease of handling makes it the ideal grating to install in those diffi cult to
access areas. Load bearing bars in both directions of the panel allow for use without continuous
side support.
Impact resistance
Having a square mesh and continuous woven roving reinforcement pattern assists in providing a
grating panel with high impact resistance. Repeated loads can be allied with little or no permanent
deformation.
Stability
Panels of moulded grating are inherently stable due to their square mesh construction. No amount
of pedestrian traffic will separate the grid components thus affording a safe reliable walking surface.
Non slip surface
Standard moulded grating panels have a concave profile on the upper surface for skid resistance.
This is created in the moulding process. Grit surfaces are also available on request and this tough
quartz finish will ensure the maximum in skid resistance and safety even in wet environments.
Non sparking / Non conductive
Impact on metallic grating by metallic objects can create sparks of sufficient energy to ignite
combustible gases. Grating Company moulded grating installed in such dangerous areas will not
create sparks when impacted with metallic or other objects and can be safely used in electrical
environments.
Transparent to RF Transmission
Fibreglass does not cause electromagnetic interference and is transparent to radio frequency
transmissions. Grating Company moulded fibreglass grating provides a solution in applications
where clarity of communication transmissions is paramount.
