LEAD THE WAY WITH GLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC.
Fiberglass grating, GRP profiles, and complete fiberglass structures. For a lighter future without corrosion.
Fiberglass – the building material of the future.
Fiberglass (Glass Reinforced Polymer) is, at its core, like any other building material. You can easily construct entire structures that withstand loads at least as high as those made from, for example, galvanized or stainless steel. However, fiberglass comes with several key advantages: it is lightweight, strong, chemical-resistant, and above all, corrosion-free.In environments with a high risk of corrosion, fiberglass is therefore the obvious choice. It saves time, money, and resources – and creates a safer workplace for both employees and visitors.
Hence fiberglass.
Strong advantages of fiberglass.
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is a durable material with many positive properties. The offshore industry, chemical industry, power plants, boats, and storage tanks have used fiberglass for many, many years. There are many reasons why – here are just a few of them:
Corrosion free.
Fiberglass is 100% corrosion-free and is perfectly suited for operations that handle acids, gases, or chemicals, or that are exposed to saltwater, low temperatures, and harsh weather conditions.
Low weight.
Fiberglass weighs approximately one third as much as steel. This makes both handling and installation easier, resulting in a final solution that does not place as high demands on the foundation.
High strength.
Despite its low weight, fiberglass has high strength, allowing you to build everything from stairs, ladders, walkways, access balconies, bridges, and ramps.
Load bearing both horizontally and vertically.
The fibers run in both directions. Unlike traditional grating, fiberglass grating is therefore load-bearing both horizontally and vertically. It is also possible to leave open mesh sections without the grating losing its load-bearing capacity.
Chemical resistant.
Fiberglass withstands most chemicals. The resin can also be adjusted to tailor both grating and profiles to specific requirements.
Maintenance free.
Fiberglass has an extremely long service life and requires neither sandblasting, painting, nor other maintenance to maintain its strength.
Non conductive.
Fiberglass is an insulator, which means it does not conduct electricity. Therefore, there is no need to ground the product. In addition, no sparks are generated during processing, making it easy to build and adapt the structure directly on site.
Temperature resistant.
GRP is highly temperature resistant and is not weakened by cold, making the material suitable even in cold environments.
Good fire protection properties.
The material itself is self-extinguishing. There is also an EX-rated fiberglass grating available.
Easy to process.
When it comes to processing, fiberglass can be compared to hardwood. This means that both grating, individual profiles, and entire structures can be easily assembled and adapted directly on site.
Cost effective.
Fiberglass has a long service life and minimal maintenance requirements, making it a more durable and cost-effective material compared to many other construction materials.
Good anti slip properties.
We offer both grit coated and concave fiberglass grating. Both have a slip resistance rating of R13, providing extra safety when it is needed most.
