Fiberglass grating Manufacturer

 What is fiberglass grating ？

     Fiberglass grating, also known as FRP grating, is a new type of building material that has the characteristics of high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in industrial environments, construction industries, and highly corrosive environments. Fiberglassgratings are commonly used in industrial environments, construction industries, and highly corrosive environments. It is suitable for durable flooring on sidewalks, platforms, drainage covers, and fiberglass gratings.

     Fiberglass grating is a building material composed of resin and fiberglass. It is made by combining glass fiber and thermosetting resin, producing a sturdy and corrosion-resistant product. It can produce different grid sizes, colors, and thicknesses according to the usage scenario.

Characteristics and advantages of fiberglass grating:

-Lightweight: easier to install than metal gratings.

-Corrosion resistance: Very suitable for use in landscapes, chemical plants, wastewater treatment, and marine environments.

-Insulation performance: suitable for electrical applications.

-Anti slip surface: helps prevent accidents from occurring under humid or oily conditions.

-Low maintenance: Will not rust and does not require regular maintenance.

Types of fiberglass gratings

Fiberglass gratings are divided into two main types:

1. Molded fiberglass grating

     This type is produced by combining resin and glass fiber in a mold and then high-pressure manufacturing. It has a smooth surface and is lightweight. Molded fiberglass gratings are highly suitable for applications where slip resistance is crucial, such as sidewalks, stair treads, and platforms.

2. Squeeze fiberglass grating

     Pultruded fiberglass grating is a composite structural component formed by pultrusion process using resin and glass fiber as the matrix, mainly replacing traditional metal grating for use in corrosive environments. It has the characteristics of lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, and anti slip, and is suitable for operating platforms, channel covers, and other scenarios in the fields of petroleum, chemical, and power. This product consists of "I" - or "T" - shaped load-bearing profiles, connecting profiles, and spacing profiles, which are fixed with adhesive to form a grid. The pultrusion process results in a glass fiber content of over 60%.

Surface type:

1. Flat surface - standard selection for general use.

2. Sanding surface - adding sand particles to the surface to improve its slip resistance in damp conditions.

Application of Fiberglass Grating:

Fiberglass grating are widely used in industries with corrosion resistance and safety. It can replace steel or aluminum grilles in many ways. Applications include:

Industrial flooring and walkways

Fiberglass grating provide a sturdy, non slip surface for factory floors, offshore platforms, and maintenance walkways. Compared with steel grating, fiberglass grating is easier to install and handle.

Chemistry and Marine Environment

In chemical plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and coastal projects, fiberglass grating have strong acid, alkali, and salt water resistance and reliable performance.

Electricity and public facilities

As a non-conductive material, fiberglass grating is an ideal solution for substations, cable trenches, and other electrical applications.

Transportation and public infrastructure

It is usually used for pedestrian overpasses, railway platforms, drainage covers, and ventilation grilles, with a long service life and low maintenance workload.

Construction and commercial projects

Fiberglass grating are also used for stair treads, sun visors, and decorative panels.

How to choose fiberglass grating

     Firstly, choosing a manufacturer with a good reputation is important to ensure that the product receives appropriate quality control. Then, when selecting a product, attention should be paid to its appearance, ensuring that the surface is smooth and free of excessive burrs and protrusions. The uneven surface indicates problems in the production process of the fiberglass grating manufacturer. Finally, ensure that the product meets weight and strength standards to avoid quality issues during use.

The dimensions of the fiberglass grating square holes (grids) we provide are as follows:

•19mmx19mm

•25mmx100mm

•38mmx38mm

•40mmx40mm

•50mmx50m

Our provided colors include yellow, green, and gray。

Surface type:

•Flat surface: Conventional type, suitable for applications in construction and sewage treatment.

•Natural concave surface: has certain anti slip properties.

•Sanding surface: Outstanding anti slip and corrosion-resistant properties.

how to cut fiberglass grating？

Linear cutting:

     Tool selection: Fiberglass grating can be cut on site using ceramic disc or diamond disc cutters, or even with ordinary steel saw blades.

Attention: During the cutting process, it is important to maintain the stability of the tool and ensure a straight cutting line. At the same time, attention should be paid to controlling the cutting speed to avoid poor cutting quality caused by being too fast or too slow.

Curve cutting:

     For curved cutting such as arc cutting, specific cutting techniques or tools are required. The preferred waterjet cutting machine can achieve zero heat generation and smooth and precise cutting without polishing, making it suitable for precision cutting.

Other options: If using a waterjet is inconvenient, professional electric tools such as angle grinders are also a good choice, but they must be paired with diamond cutting blades. When cutting, maintain a constant speed to avoid excessive heating that may cause cracking of the fiberglass grating. There is also an electric cutting machine, it is recommended to choose equipment with low speed but high torque to reduce micro cracks caused by vibration.

     Safety protection: When cutting fiberglass gratings, safety measures should be taken. N95 masks should be worn to prevent damage to the respiratory system from fiberglass dust, goggles should be worn to protect the eyes from flying debris, and cut resistant gloves should be worn to prevent hand injuries.
