molded frp gratings are manufactured in a one piece construction which results in a bi-directionally strong product. This allows openings for piping or cables in the grating of up to 10” without any additional support required (may vary depending on grating depth and location of opening). During the molded manufacturing process, the continuous fiberglass rovings are completely covered in a high percentage of resin, 65% by volume. With this high resin content, molded gratings are the most chemically resistant gratings offered and are often used in caustic chemical environments without hesitation.

Despite their many advantages, fiberglass vessels are not without their drawbacks.

However, these drawbacks can be mitigated through proper maintenance and care, such as regular inspections and protective coatings.
