Non-Slip Fibreglass Flooring & Platforms
At GRP Grating Systems, we specialise in the design, fabrication and installation of non-slip fibreglass flooring and GRP grating across the UK. Based in Manchester, we supply lightweight, corrosion-resistant access systems that provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials such as wood, mild steel and stainless steel.
Our fibreglass grating delivers exceptional slip resistance, thanks to its gritted and concave anti-slip surface, ensuring excellent traction even in wet, oily or icy environments.
Each product can be tailored to meet the demands of different applications, with various resin finishes available, ideal for offshore, chemical and industrial settings where fire resistance or low smoke emissions are essential.
We’ve built our reputation on being a complete GRP solutions partner – from design and fabrication to on-site installation and support. Our in-house team provides:
- Full in house supporting steelwork design and fabrication.
- Full in house GRP Grating and walkway design and fabrication.
- Design, drafting and detailing services.
- On site installation, assembly and erection services.
- Project Management and support.

Features & Benefits
of GRP Grating
Fibreglass grating is formed using continuous, interwoven glass fibres as the reinforcement material and resin as the matrix, with continuous solidification through a mould system. The uniform construction provides excellent bi-directional mechanical properties.
It is beneficial to all industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, offshore, and leisure, among others, with numerous applications such as platforms, floorings, walkways, trench covers, ramps, and cable trough covers.

Why Choose GRP Grating?
GRP grating is designed to outperform traditional materials like steel and timber, offering exceptional strength, durability and safety in demanding environments.
GRP grating, also known as fibreglass grating, combines high strength with minimal weight, thanks to its glass fibre and thermosetting resin composition. It delivers superior corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and a strength-to-weight ratio that makes it ideal for industrial walkways, platforms, ramps and stair treads.
Safety is built in. Each panel has a gritted, concave surface that provides secure traction even in wet or icy conditions, reducing slips, trips and falls in challenging environments.
For specialist applications, our grating can be manufactured in a range of resin finishes. Offshore facilities often choose fire-resistant formulations, while chemical plants benefit from enhanced corrosion-resistant options. This flexibility ensures reliable performance and long service life in any environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About GRP Grating Systems
GRP grating (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is made using continuous glass fibres combined with thermosetting resins. This creates a lightweight yet incredibly strong composite material that’s resistant to corrosion, impact, and chemical damage, ideal for industrial, commercial, and offshore environments.
Unlike steel, GRP grating does not rust, corrode, or require regular maintenance. It’s also lighter and easier to install than steel or timber alternatives, providing a longer-lasting, more cost-effective solution for platforms, walkways, and access areas.
Yes — GRP grating is completely weatherproof, UV-resistant, and non-conductive. Its gritted surface provides exceptional slip resistance, making it perfect for outdoor ramps, platforms, and marine or industrial applications exposed to wet or icy conditions.
Absolutely. We can design and fabricate GRP grating in various thicknesses, colours, resin finishes, and panel sizes. This flexibility allows us to create bespoke solutions for specific safety, fire-resistance, or chemical-resistance requirements.
Yes — GRP Grating Systems provides full in-house services, including design, drafting, fabrication, and professional on-site installation. We manage the entire process, ensuring your GRP flooring or access system is delivered to the highest safety and quality standards.
Our GRP flooring and access products are used across a wide range of sectors, including:
- Construction and infrastructure
- Chemical and pharmaceutical industries
- Rail and transport
- Utilities and renewable energy
- Marine and offshore facilities
Each installation is engineered to perform safely and efficiently in its intended environment.
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, GRP grating can last several decades. Its corrosion-resistant structure and UV-stable resins prevent material degradation even in harsh or exposed conditions.
Yes, we’re based in Manchester but supply and install GRP grating systems throughout the UK. Our projects range from small commercial walkways to large-scale industrial and infrastructure installations.
