FRP Grating As Screening

When one thinks of FRP grating they think of it as flooring replacing steel walkways. However, a major application for the product is as a screen especially for large transit projects such as commuter rail projects. In this application, various forms of grating are positioned vertically just like steel or wood fencing. However, unlike those traditional materials, FRP needs far less maintenance. Steel and wood fencing will require re-painting, suffer peeling of paint, become marred with unsightly scratches, and corrode or rot. FRP when used as a fence suffers none of these problems.

On the contrary, FRP provides years of near maintenance-free use. It will not need repainting, will not peel, corrode, or rot. The only cleaning it would require is to remove physical debris from the fence: that’s it. The grating will come with UV-inhibitors so it keeps its look exposed to the outdoors. In many applications, FRP grating has been used for 25+ years outdoors without the need for replacement. All this aside, FRP is also extremely strong in regards to taking impact or load – all the better when used as a fence or screen!
