Molded FRP Grating was used in this Marine application as it will not rust or corrode with sea water exposure.

Green energy and decarbonization policies aim to reduce emissions and transition to more efficient use of our energy. One area that can contribute to this goal is using environmentally friendly materials and technologies in the construction and maintenance of infrastructure. One such material is fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating, which has several benefits over traditional steel grating.

FRP Grating does not corrode due to water exposure or fade due to intense sun exposure. It truly is the perfect material for your dock or deck.

FRP grating has a much lower carbon footprint compared to steel grating. Steel is an energy intensive material that requires a lot of energy to manufacture, transport, and install. In contrast, FRP grating is made from a combination of lightweight and durable materials such as fiberglass and resin. As a result, the production and use of FRP grating can significantly reduce carbon emissions.

FRP is Lightweight

FRP grating is much lighter than steel grating, which means it requires less energy to transport and install. This can result in significant energy savings, especially in cases where large quantities of grating need to be transported and installed over long distances.

FRP does not Corrode

Furthermore, FRP grating is corrosion-resistant and requires less maintenance compared to steel grating. This means that it has a longer lifespan, reducing the need for replacement and therefore further reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption and can be re-used, re-purposed and re-cycled.

Eco Benefits & Sustainability FRP Grating

FRP Mini Mesh Grating will last and not corrode due to salt water exposure.

In conclusion, the use of FRP grating in infrastructure projects can have significant sustainability benefits for reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption. By choosing FRP grating over traditional steel grating, governments and businesses can contribute to their green energy and decarbonization goals while still maintaining the high-quality and durable infrastructure that is necessary for economic growth and development.

Fiberglass Grating | Benefits and Uses

With all of the misunderstanding and confusion over the capacity and nature of fiberglass, and the true uses of grating materials, perhaps it's time to clarify a little bit about both. In doing so, perhaps we can learn the benefits of fiberglass and the true flexibility of grating as a construction material.

So, as we all may or may not know, fiberglass is an epoxy-composite of silica glass which can be molded and shaped into any form imaginable with very simple and cost effective industrial practices. The cost effective nature of fiberglass grating, from any respectable company in the industry, is usually passed on to consumer, who will enjoy not only affordability with this diverse material, but other benefits as well.

Fiberglass is incredibly durable, able to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, stress and exposure to corrosive materials which metals and plastics cannot, depending on which curing process was used on it. As a result, fiberglass can be a base material for creating any number of construction components.

It just so happens, it's perfect for grating. So, you find yourself saying 'Well, fiberglass is impressive alright. But what's so special about grating?'

Where do we start?

Like the cost-effectiveness of fiberglass, grating is a very efficient way to design surfaces and structure components. Being a compact, self-reinforced latticework, grating can provide the strength of a solid object while using a fraction of the material. Add to this the fact that unlike solid surfaces, grating shows early warnings of stress points forming, so that it can be replaced before accidents happen, and you have a winning concept. But that isn't all, grating, by its very design, is a high-traction, non-slip surface which adds to safety in the workplace or in a home. The perforated design of grating means that spillage drains automatically too, adding to this non-slip aspect as well.

Grating is also further cost-effective due to its cellular, easy-to-replace nature, meaning that flooring and other structures made of grating do not need to be entirely replaced when one sheet or cell is damaged or begins to form stress.
Combining the durability and affordability of fiberglass with the practicality and safety of grating means that this construct can be used in more ways than you can probably imagine.

Most people picture fiberglass being relegated to pool shells or car bodies, where heavy weight would result in some give or even collapse, but fiberglass used in grating, alongside the natural reinforcement that grating structure provides, makes it incredibly rigid and supportive, which means that components such as stairs can easily be built from it. With the heavy traction and endurance of fiberglass grating, this makes for some incredibly safe stairs, safer than cement or wood or metal any day.

Docking is another magnificent example of the safety and practicality of fiberglass grating. Due to the wet conditions of a docking area, regardless of weather, the traction and natural draining capabilities of fiberglass grating make it very safe, and very capable of enduring corrosive salt and rough water conditions with ease.

Fiberglass grating is hands down the best material for commercial drainage as well, in environments such as car washes, kitchens and industrial climates, where its lasting power and affordability for large implementation make it not only the safe option, but the wise one. Fiberglass is capable of enduring exposure to a wider array of chemicals than metal or plastic, and can withstand higher temperatures than plastic. It does not corrode like metal, and does not absorb heat like metal, making fiberglass grating which was recently exposed to heated liquids much safer and less of a risk to induce burns.

Fiberglass grating is also flame retardant, making it great for building decks or elevated patios, where barbeques and other activities may be held. Unlike wood, it doesn't require regular application of water seals, and unlike cement, it does not form expensive-to-repair cracks or ugly stains that require power washing to remove.

Fiberglass grating is also quickly replacing its plastic cousin for shipping containers for this same cost practicality and endurance capacity. Fiberglass is nearly as light weight as plastic, with none of plastic's trade off of low heat and stress resistance.
