What GRP sheet and grating is used for

GRP floor sheet, open mesh grating, stair tread covers and stair nosings give an anti-slip surface on floors, walkways, access platforms and steps. The open mesh design drains and ventilates, which keeps the walking surface drier. Typical locations are heavy-duty warehouses, offshore platforms, food and chemical production facilities, industrial walkways, access platforms, piers, marinas and boardwalks.

Material properties

GRP (glass reinforced plastic) is chemical resistant, oil resistant and fire resistant, waterproof and UV stable, and it does not corrode or rot. It is non-conductive, which makes it a safer choice around electrical installations and equipment. It stays slip resistant when wet or oily, takes heavy loads and impact, and wipes clean, which matters where hygiene is part of the specification.

Outdoor and coastal use

Steel, aluminium and timber all degrade under UV, seawater and constant rain. GRP resists moisture and corrosion and holds its structural strength for years with very little maintenance, so it suits pedestrian routes, port and dock surfaces, slip-resistant boardwalks and other exposed positions.

Handling and installation

GRP is light for its strength, so sheets and panels can be handled and fitted without special lifting gear and installation is quicker than the steel equivalent. Sealant, adhesive and cutter screws are stocked for fixing. Lower maintenance and less downtime are the main reasons sites move to it.

How is GRP matting moulded and manufactured? +

GRP matting is typically manufactured through a moulding process where a combination of glass fibers and resin is shaped into sheets or panels. This moulding process ensures consistent quality, precise dimensions, and the incorporation of specific features such as anti-slip textures.

Is GRP matting impact-resistant? +

Yes, GRP matting is known for its exceptional impact resistance. It can withstand heavy impacts, foot traffic, and the movement of equipment without cracking or breaking, ensuring long-lasting durability and safety.

Can GRP matting be used in marine environments? +

Absolutely. GRP matting is well-suited for marine environments due to its resistance to water, moisture, and corrosion. It is commonly used on boats, docks, piers, and other marine structures to provide slip-resistant surfaces and withstand the harsh marine conditions.

Is GRP matting lightweight and easy to handle? +

Yes, GRP matting is lightweight compared to many other flooring options, making it easier to handle and install. Its lightness also contributes to its versatility, as it can be used in various settings without adding excessive weight to the structure.

How easy is it to clean GRP matting? +
