Custom Pultruded FRP Grating

One of the benefits of pultruded FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) grating is that it is customizable. The grating is essentially bearing bars, in a “T” “I” or rectangular profile connected by fiberglass cross-rods. But while we have stocked profiles available, we can supply grating with variable openings (aperture). For example, I6000 series grating denotes an “I” beam profile with 60% spacing between the beams. But we could supply a solution with 25% spacing, for example, if need be. But customization doesn’t stop there. Other areas that can be customized are whether or not grit is included, color, or resin type. For example, one of the longest serving pultruded grating installations is in an offshore oil platform off of California. The grating with a phenolic resin, which allows the grating to better hold up in case of fire, was installed in 1979 and is still installed requiring almost no maintenance.

A custom grating solution is not practical in all cases. There will be a minimum order required, often thousand(s) of feet worth of material in that case there may be other solutions we can look into. For example, if a custom color is needed, the grating could be painted with a polyurethane based paint. We also supply pultruded grating cut to size for applications such as swimming pool grating (which often uses standard profiles).
