With OSHA reporting more than 200,000 injuries from falls, slips, and trips, proactively preventing these incidents with slip resistant flooring and decking simply makes good economic sense. Whether beginning a new project or making an existing space safer, it is a smart move to choose cost-effective materials that deliver exceptional long-term value while prioritizing safety. For these reasons and more, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) can be an outstanding slip resistant flooring choice — both for indoor and outdoor applications. In industrial settings and public spaces, walkways and catwalks play a crucial role in providing safe and efficient passage for workers and pedestrians. In this blog, we will explore the differences between walkway and catwalk gratings and delve into the advantages of using FRP gratings in various applications and environments.

Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating paired with pedestals has become a popular choice for architects, engineers, and DIYers when it comes to transforming spaces. FRP gratings’ lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant properties make them ideal for a wide range of applications, and the pedestals allow for reduced preparation time, are adaptable, and allow for drainage. This article will highlight four state-of-the-art projects where FRP grating used with pedestals has played a pivotal role. From grand hotels with stunning water fountains to industrial facilities requiring reliable flooring solutions, these projects demonstrate the versatility and effectiveness of FRP materials in enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of various spaces. Discover the innovative applications and success stories that showcase the power of FRP in transforming environments. 

Fiberglass reinforced plastic stair treads offer a wide range of advantages for commercial and industrial projects. With impressive strength, long-term durability, and safety features, the range of FRP stair solutions available makes them a popular choice for many applications. Let’s look at FRP stair treads and how they can work for your project. 

A workplace slip-and-fall accident can be devastating to the injured person. In addition, there are financial effects for the business in lost productivity, compensation claims, and increased insurance premiums. Installing non-slip flooring can be an important preventive safety measure. However, not all flooring products are created equal. Let’s explore the world of non-slip flooring and grating including the benefits, product options, and popular applications.   

If your property has a walkway made of metal grating, it is important to properly maintain the walkway to ensure the safety of everyone who uses it. Over time, exposure to harsh weather conditions and frequent foot traffic can cause damage to steel gratings. 

There are many materials to choose from when it comes to industrial grating. Two of the most common choices are fiberglass gratings (fiberglass reinforced plastic also known as FRP) and metal gratings (usually steel or aluminum). While they both serve the same purpose, they have distinct characteristics that make them better suited for certain types of applications. Understanding their differences can help you make an informed decision when selecting grating for your project. 

Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) is a composite material made of glass fiber reinforcements and a cured resin. This material is used to make fiberglass gratings and structural shapes which can be assembled to make platforms, guardrails, handrails, and many other products. It is a widely used material in industries such as chemical production, wastewater treatment, electrical engineering, transportation, and marine construction. Let’s discuss what you need to know about FRP grating.
