1. What Is FRP Grating?

FRP grating is a structural panel made from fiberglass reinforced plastic. It is commonly used for walkways, platforms, stair treads, trench covers, and drainage systems across industrial, commercial, and marine sectors.

The two most popular types are molded fiberglass grating and pultruded FRP grating. Each has distinct properties that suit different environments.

2. Molded FRP Grating: Best for Corrosive Environments

Molded grating is produced by laying chopped glass fibers in a mold, then saturating them with resin. The result is a mesh-like panel with equal strength in both directions and a high percentage of open area.

Key benefits:

• ✔ Superior corrosion resistance
• ✔ Cost-effective for general applications
• ✔ Uniform load distribution

Ideal for wastewater plants, chemical zones, and drainage areas. Learn more on our molded grating page.

3. Pultruded FRP Grating: Best for High Loads and Long Spans

Pultruded grating is made by pulling continuous fiberglass strands through a resin bath and heating die, creating straight, directional load bars.

Key advantages:

• ✔ High load capacity
• ✔ Excellent span performance
• ✔ Anti-slip options available

Recommended for industrial walkways, mezzanines, and high-traffic platforms. Visit our pultruded grating product page for technical specs.

4. How to Decide Between Molded and Pultruded?

Ask the following questions:

• Is corrosion the main concern? → Choose molded.
• Do you need to support heavy loads? → Choose pultruded.
• Will it be installed over long spans? → Pultruded works better.
• Need maximum open area for drainage? → Molded is ideal.

Also consider environmental factors like fire risk, electrical insulation, and exposure to UV or chemicals.
