High-Performance Moulded GRP Grating
Our moulded GRP grating combines a tough glass-reinforced plastic matrix with a heavily gritted anti-slip surface to create a safe, long-lasting walking surface. It offers one of the highest levels of slip resistance ever measured, particularly in wet, oily or frosty conditions.
The integral gritted top surface is moulded into the panel, not added afterwards, so it delivers durable, long-term slip resistance. GRP’s inherent corrosion resistance makes moulded grating a logical and cost-effective alternative to steel for harsh or exposed environments.
Why Choose Moulded GRP Grating?
✅ Outstanding Slip Resistance
Heavily gritted anti-slip finish provides secure footing in challenging conditions, reducing slip and fall risk on walkways, platforms, ramps and access routes.
✅ Corrosion & Chemical Resistant
Unaffected by rust and highly resistant to many chemicals, moulded grating is ideal for marine, coastal, wastewater, chemical and industrial process environments.
✅ Low Maintenance & Long Service Life
GRP does not require painting, galvanising or regular anti-corrosion treatment. The gritted surface and colour are built into the panel, minimising maintenance over its lifetime.
✅ Lightweight but Strong
High strength-to-weight ratio makes panels easier to lift, handle and install than steel, reducing installation time and manual handling requirements.
✅ Non-Conductive & Fire-Resistant Options
Being non-metallic, GRP is non-conductive and suitable for electrical sites. Fire-retardant resins and systems are available to meet specific project requirements.
✅ Comfortable Underfoot & Warm to the Touch
Low thermal conductivity means surfaces do not become as cold or hot as metal, improving comfort for frequent users.
Engineered by GRP Moulding Technology
The GRP moulding and pultrusion processes used to manufacture our gratings and profiles provide exceptional consistency, strength and durability. Compared with steel, aluminium and timber, GRP offers:
- Improved corrosion resistance
- High impact strength
- Excellent fatigue performance
- Design flexibility in profile shape, thickness and colour
Properties such as stiffness, weight and colour can be engineered into the product during design, ensuring the grating is matched to the demands of the application.
Colour, Surface & Edge Options
Colours:
Standard industrial colours (e.g. grey, green, yellow) with other BS/RAL shades available to order
Surface:
Heavy-duty gritted anti-slip surface as standard; alternative finishes available for specific applications
Edges:
Panels can be cut to size and supplied with banded/edged perimeter where required
For precise panel sizes, mesh patterns and thickness options, these can be detailed on the GRP Panels, Sizes & Thickness page or supplied in a technical datasheet.

Moulded GRP Grating – FAQs
Moulded GRP grating is a glass-reinforced plastic panel with an open mesh pattern and an integral gritted anti-slip surface. It provides a strong, corrosion-resistant and lightweight alternative to steel grating.
It is widely used on walkways, platforms, stairs, ramps, jetties, chemical plants, wastewater sites, roof access routes and anywhere that requires a safe, anti-slip surface.
Unlike steel, GRP does not rust, requires minimal maintenance and is significantly lighter. It also offers excellent slip resistance and electrical insulation.
Yes. The gritted surface is moulded into the panel rather than added as a coating, giving long-term slip resistance even under heavy use.
Panels can be cut to suit your required dimensions and shapes. We can supply cut panels or provide guidance on safe cutting methods on site.
Yes. Standard colours are available, with other BS/RAL colour options to help with zone marking, branding or safety demarcation.
Fire-retardant grades are available to help meet the fire performance requirements of specific projects.
