One-piece moulded GRP grating is produced in a single casting process where the load bars and cross bars are interwoven and cured together in a mould. This creates a solid, integrated mesh panel with no mechanical joints or glued connections, giving excellent bi-directional strength and long-term durability.

Moulded GRP is cast as a single piece in a mould, so the mesh is fully integrated and equal strength in both directions. Pultruded GRP is made by pulling continuous profiles and bonding them together, which can create mechanical joints between bars. Moulded grating is generally better for complex cutting, aggressive environments and multi-directional loading, while pultruded grating is often used where spans are long in one direction.

Because there are no glued joints between bearing bars, the loads from people, trolleys or machinery are spread through the whole mesh. This reduces local stress points and the risk of joint failure under constant or cyclic loading, which can be a concern with mechanically fixed or bonded systems.

Yes. When specified with the correct thickness and resin system, moulded GRP grating is suitable for plant platforms, walkways, loading areas and other heavy-duty environments. The one-piece mesh delivers high impact resistance and excellent fatigue performance, even in demanding industrial conditions.

It can. Panels are normally supplied in standard sizes and then trimmed, notched or cut around penetrations using appropriate tooling (such as diamond-tipped or carbide blades). Because the mesh is cast in one piece, the integrity of the panel is maintained even after cutting, provided correct support and fixing practices are followed.

Moulded GRP grating is typically manufactured using glass fibre reinforcement saturated with polyester, vinyl ester or phenolic resin, depending on the performance required. The combination of high glass content and chemical-resistant resins gives a strong, rigid panel with excellent corrosion resistance and long service life.

During moulding, the reinforcement is fully encapsulated by the resin matrix and cured in a controlled environment. This closed-mesh structure prevents moisture and chemicals from reaching the glass fibres, making the finished grating highly resistant to corrosion, rust, rot and many industrial chemicals.

The anti-slip surface is typically applied during the moulding process, embedding hard grit particles into the top layer while the resin is still curing. This creates a long-lasting, bonded anti-slip finish that will not peel off like a surface coating and maintains slip resistance even in wet or oily conditions.
