Key Features of Pultruded Fiberglass Grating
High Strength: The pultrusion process enhances the material’s mechanical properties, offering a high load-bearing capacity.
Corrosion Resistant: Ideal for use in environments exposed to chemicals, water, and extreme weather conditions, pultruded fiberglass grating does not rust or corrode.
Slip-Resistant: The textured surface provides superior slip resistance, making it suitable for wet or oily areas.
Lightweight: Pultruded FRP grating is significantly lighter than metal alternatives, reducing installation costs and effort.
Fire-Rated: Meets fire resistance standards, ensuring safety in case of fire hazards.
Low Maintenance: The durable nature of fiberglass minimizes the need for frequent maintenance or replacements.
