In addition to delivering gratings, we can provide engineering and static calculations to ensure the right choice of gratings for any situation, considering the loads and (steel) drawings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also optimize the layout of the gratings using 2D and 3D engineering software to minimize cutting waste and ensure the best fixation method. By engineering and marking the gratings, we save costs by reducing installation time.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Why to choose GRP over steel<\/h2>\n

    Why to choose GRP over steel<\/h2>\n

    Fiberstruct is your partner for glass fibre reinforced plastic gratings, handrails, guardrails, ladders, and other structural product needs. Our professional engineering and production team will assist you from start to finish to find the right solution to meet your needs in terms of sustainability, safety, and cost. The many advantages include:<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    GRP is corrosion-resistant and requires less maintenance than steel<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The durability and corrosion resistance of Fiberstruct GRP gratings and other GRP products reduce or eliminate the need for major maintenance such as sandblasting, scraping, and painting. In fact, most Fiberstruct products are easy to clean with a pressure washer.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Non-conductive<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Your team’s safety is your top priority. Fiberstruct GRP products are non-conductive and have a higher friction factor than steel, reducing the risk of electric shock and slip injuries. GRP is the clear choice for safer structural products.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    GRP is up to 70% lighter than steel with a high strength-to-weight ratio<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Fiberstruct GRP has a high strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional materials such as metal, concrete, and wood. GRP gratings can even be strong enough to carry vehicle loads while weighing less than steel gratings.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Corrosion-resistant <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Fiberstruct glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) products are \u200bknown for their ability to provide corrosion resistance in the most demanding environments, as well as exposure to chemicals. Unlike metal and wood, GRP products will not rust or corrode and will retain structural integrity over time.<\/p>\n

    Fiberstruct offers the largest selection of resin compositions for products, each specifically developed to meet specific environmental and performance requirements. Check out Fiberstruct’s Chemical Resistance Guide to help you choose the best Fiberstruct resin for your application environment.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Anti-slip \/ Slip-resistant<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Fiberstruct’s GRP gratings and stairs provide a superior, slip-resistant surface in wet and oily environments. Steel becomes slippery when oily or wet, but Fiberstruct gratings have a higher friction factor and remain safe even when wet. Fiberstruct’s slip-resistant products increase worker safety, which will lead to fewer workplace accidents and a reduction in injury-related costs.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n
