Fastening Molded FRP Grating

One of the most common questions we get from the public is regarding how to fasten FRP molded grating sheet. Fortunately, the customer often gives us some leeway…But where to start on your design? What hardware do you use?

The best approach of all is to avoid hardware if possible. This means having a trench where the FRP can sit, perhaps in some steel angle but will not move around. This offers several benefits. Firstly, the FRP can be installed and removed within seconds and allows for easy cleaning or maintenance. Secondly, the only available hardware is expensive, M-clips can cost upwards of $5.00 apiece and 18-24 are required per sheet.

If M-clips are required than anchorage to steel angle is preferable. M-clips allow a bolt to fasten FRP grating down to a substrate. If you are unclear about what is required for your application then get in touch with the details of your project.
