To understand the differences between molded and pultruded grating, it is important to know exactly what Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is. FRP is an alternative to traditional industrial materials, such as steel, concrete, and wood. It is made by combining resin with fiberglass. Resin formulations, resin proportions, and manufacturing techniques allow this product to be used as gratings, handrails, ladders, platforms, and custom engineered solutions. Often people ask, “What is the difference between molded and pultruded grating?” Fibergrate wants to help people make the right decision when it comes to choosing the right material for their next project. Some people might simply say: “Molded grating is a panel that has a square or rectangular top mesh whereas pultruded grating is composed by a series of parallel bars.” Is it really this simple? Please allow us to explain.

The Reversing Falls are a unique and beautiful phenomenon created by the collision of the Bay of Fundy and the Saint John River in New Brunswick, Canada. At low tide the river empties into the bay causing a series of rapids and whirlpools, a truly natural spectacle.

This year has shown us some of the most destructive hurricanes.  Our hearts have collectively broken for all those affected. 

People build communities. Communities build cities, and cities build people.  Unfortunately, rebuilding these cities is not going to happen overnight.  It will be a process, a very long process, but those cities and the communities will come back stronger than ever. 

We are so happy Tim Raftery shared his testimonial with us about how his deck built with Fibergrate Micro-Mesh® Molded Grating survived Hurricane Irma and made his overall rebuilding experience that much easier.

The Deschutes River Trails in Deschutes County, Oregon provide a serene retreat allowing visitors to enjoy nature. A brand new section of trail will be opening this month with a unique addition connecting Tumalo State Park and Meadow Camp.

After over sixteen years with Fibergrate, Randy Merritt is moving onto retirement. He joins the recently retired Wendell Hollingsworth and Jeff Hall.

Wendell was born and raised in Haskell County along with his three brothers. He later went on to work on his undergraduate degree at Texas Tech, the University of Texas at Arlington, and finally Tarleton State University where he graduated with his degree is Business Management.

To know Jeff is to know Fibergrate. Jeff has been working at Fibergrate for over forty-five years! It is bittersweet for us to watch him move on to retirement, but we are proud of his accomplishments and will always value the lessons he has taught us.
