GRP gratings used in service risers are a much better alternative compared to those made of various other materials. They can be used in nearly any environment based on durability and safety properties. Below are some of the top reasons you should buy GRP gratings.
Because They Are Non-Slip
GRP gratings provide excellent anti-slip protection in both oily and wet environments. That goes a long way to preventing injuries and increasing productivity. The grit is usually embedded within the top surface of the panels before curing. That helps to create a long-lasting anti-slip surface due to the depth of embedded grit and integral construction.
They Are Resistant to Corrosion
GRP gratings can help to prevent deterioration caused by environmental factors and industrial chemicals. It is among the most cost-effective alternatives to aluminum, carbon steel, and wood, among other conventional materials. The fiberglass is guaranteed to outperform all the other medium even if the grating is exposed to gases, spills, splash, or continuous submersion.
They Are Resistant to Impact
GRP gratings have high impact resistance, which ensures no permanent deformation occurs even with repeated deflection. Loading can cause some deflection. However, unlike metallic grating, the GRP grating from Gitterroste GFK von Böwe24 go back to normal when the load is removed. That helps to avoid the cost of replacement or repairs after loading.
They Are Lightweight
Fiberglass grating is a lot lighter compared to other alternatives. For example, it weighs only a quarter of what steel grating weighs. That means that the labor required to handle it is a lot less. Two men, even without pulleys or hoists, can remove the fiberglass for utility access, maintenance, or cleaning. The lightweight nature of the fiberglass also results in reduced costs of fabrication and installation.
They Have High Mechanical Strength
GRP gratings have exceptional breaking strength when a lateral force is applied. That is because the fiberglass has a unidirectional continuous reinforcement, which comes with a variety of advantages such as shock resistance and rigidity. All those factors result in high mechanical strength and safety, making it suitable for intensive industrial use.
GRP Gratings Are Non-Magnetic
By being non-magnetic, the grating can be used in a variety of sensitive installations where metallic gratings with magnetic properties are not suitable.
They Are Non-Sparking
GRP grating systems are ideal for installations where there is the presence of combustible gasses such as hydrogen. That is because they are non-sparking, meaning they cannot cause a fire or explosion from sparks that can be produced when a tool is dropped accidentally on the grating.
They Are Maintenance-Free
The GRP grating systems eliminate virtually all the maintenance costs. That is because they have UV inhibitors that protect against degradation caused by the sun and do not require painting.
