DECK 500 FAQs
DECK 500 is a GRP interlocking solid plate flooring system made from glass reinforced plastic, with a gritted anti-slip surface and tongue-and-groove joints for a sealed, continuous walking surface.
Depending on the loading, DECK 500 can span up to around 1.5 metres with a 5 kN/m² design load and L/200 deflection. We can advise on suitable spans for your project based on the load cases and support conditions.
Yes. DECK 500 is designed to meet BS 4592-5 and BS EN ISO 14122-2 for industrial flooring and machine access platforms, as well as EN 13706 for GRP pultruded profiles.
The standard gritted surface provides high levels of slip resistance even when wet, oily or contaminated, making it suitable for process plants, wash-down areas and external walkways.
Yes. The interlocking tongue-and-groove joint creates a sealed surface with minimal gaps, which is ideal for hygienic environments and areas that are regularly washed down.
Panels are typically fixed to supporting steel or GRP structures using mechanical fixings. The interlocking design reduces the number of fixings required compared to discrete planks or grating panels.
GRP is corrosion-resistant and non-metallic, so DECK 500 performs well in marine, coastal and many chemical processing environments where steel plate would corrode.
Yes. We can design and supply complete GRP access solutions that integrate DECK 500 flooring with GRP handrails, stairs, ladders and support structures.
