33800.711.4939www.directmetals.comFIBERGLASSFiberglass Grating ProductsMOLDED FIBERGLASS GRATINGMolded berglass grating is a berglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) that combines berglass rovings with thermosetting resins to form a strong, one-piece molded panel. A 65%/35% resin to glass weight ratioprovides high corrosion resistance. Meniscus surfaces or applied grit surfaces provide slip resistance when compared to other ooring products. This product is best suited for corrosive environments.PULTRUDED FIBERGLASS GRATINGPultruded berglass grating is made using premium gradeisophthalic polyester, vinyl ester, or phenolic resin systems with asynthetic surfacing veil making it corrosion resistant, lightweight, and durable. Pultruded berglass has a grit surface for safety and a greater strength-to-weight ratio than molded berglass grating. A 35%/65% resin to glass ratio provides greater strength and less corrosion resistance than molded berglass. This product is best suited for longer spans.FIBERGLASS COVERED GRATINGOur berglass covered grating is a long-lasting, molded berglass oor product that combines smooth, gritted or checker plate and molded grating with any of our resin systems. It is the ideal choice when a 100% covered ooring surface is needed. Our berglass covered grating is often used in loading and storage areas with high foot and cart trafc where a strong, level surface is ideal. It offers approximately 50% higher stiffness values than that of open mesh grating, and its standard grit-top cover assures secure footing.BULLET RESISTANT FIBERGLASS PLATEOur bullet resistant berglass plate offers superior ballistic resistance at a weight less than 25% that of a comparable steel panel. Now available for commercial security applications for your business, home, or governmental facility, these berglass panels offer ballistic resistant security with the additional performance advantages of durability, corrosion resistance, electrical non-conductivity, low thermalconductivity, and light weight.HEAVY DUTY FIBERGLASS GRATINGOur heavy duty berglass grating is available in both molded and pultruded grating systems. Both are designed to carry forklift and tractor-trailer loads that traditional molded and pultruded FRPgrating products are not designed to support. Heavy duty berglass grating provides greater durability for higher volume trafc areas as well. Additionally, heavy duty berglass grating can be used to free span longer distances than traditional berglass grating.CUSTOM MATCHED COLORS AVAILABLEWill match to any RAL color.FIBERGLASS STAIR TREADS & STAIR TREADCOVERSLightweight and easy to install, berglass stair treads are available in both molded and pultruded types to match the berglass oorgrating platforms. Fiberglass stair tread covers are made from a molded glass and resin system that is corrosion and impact resistant, re retardant, and non-conductive. They provide a cost effective,slip-resistant, protective surface for concrete, metal, and wood steps.FIBERGLASS GRATING HANDRAILS AND LADDERSFiberglass handrail systems are fabricated from pultruded berglass components and molded thermoplastic connectors. Our modular berglass grating handrail systems are available in 2" square or2" round congurations that are easy to grip, making them ideal for any high trafc area. Our berglass ladders and cages can beinstalled in a variety of applications from sumps to tanks, buildings, piers, portable equipment, etc., providing years of strength anddependability.FIBERGLASS ATTACHMENTS AND CLIPSOur berglass grating attachments and clips are specially designed to secure berglass grating or plates to the supporting structures.Additionally, they are used to fasten together adjacent gratingpanels, which minimizes load-induced differential deection. Allberglass attachments and clips are made of Type 316 stainless steel and are available in 1", 1-1/2" and 2" sizes.FIBERGLASS PLATESFiberglass plates feature a non-conductive surface that makes them an economical and safe solution to walking surfaces. In caustic and/or acidic conditions, berglass plates provide a level of corrosionresistance that is unequaled and more cost effective than stainless steel. Fiberglass plate is available with a non-grit surface or with a grit surface where anti-slip traction is needed.FIBERGLASS STRUCTURAL SHAPESOur berglass structural shapes and pultruded berglass proles are made from a combination of berglass and thermosetting resinsystems. All shapes are lightweight, impact resistant, lowmaintenance, non-magnetic, low conductive, and have dimensional stability, making them easy to install and ideal for severalapplications. Custom shapes are available upon request.Our Pultruded Grating Inventory
