GRP gratings represent an advanced and effective flooring solution for industrial and corrosive environments. These composite structures, such as AERON composite gratings, are designed to offer exceptional resistance to load and corrosion, while being lightweight and durable. By incorporating high quality materials, including UV inhibitors and specific additives, GCER's GRP gratings are reinforced with glass fibres to ensure optimum performance in a variety of industrial applications.
GCER's GRP gratings offer a multitude of advantages that make them indispensable in many industrial sectors :
GRP gratings are much lighter than their metal counterparts, making them easier to handle and install.
The anti-corrosion properties of the resins used guarantee a long service life, even in highly corrosive environments.
As electrical insulators, GRP gratings offer increased safety in applications where electricity is present.
Their anti-slip surface ensures optimum safety, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
The flat, uniform surface of GRP gratings allows for unobstructed passage, ideal for environments requiring smooth traffic flow.
La durabilité et la résistance des matériaux utilisés minimisent les besoins d'entretien, réduisant ainsi les coûts à long terme.
GRP gratings are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, colours and resin types to suit different applications and environments.
The standard dimensions of GRP panels are as follows :
| CAILLEBOTIS en GRP | DIMENSIONS STANDARD DES PANNEAUX |
| ISO38 épaisseur 38 et Maille 31 x 31 mm | 1220m x 3660 mm |
| ISO30 épaisseur 30 et Maille 31 x 31 mm | 1000 x 4000 mm |
| ISO38 épaisseur 38 et Maille 13 x 13 mm | 1000 x 4000 mm |
| ISO40 épaisseur 40et Maille 76 x 76 mm | 1000 x 4000 mm |
Custom sizes can be manufactured to meet specific customer requirements.
GRP gratings are generally rectangular in shape, but can also be designed in square, circular or triangular shapes, according to customer specifications.
Our standard panels are grey. However, other colours are available to meet customers' aesthetic and functional requirements.
Gratings can be manufactured from different types of resin, depending on the chemical aggressiveness of the environment. Polyester or vinyl ester resins are commonly used to ensure optimum resistance.
GRP gratings are manufactured in a single block, which gives them high load resistance, as shown in the following table :
| Portée en (mm) | Charge ponctuelle (kg) | Facteur de sécurité | Charge repartie (kg/m²) | Facteur de sécurité |
| 300 | 3.580 | 2 x F | 18.600 | 3 x q |
| 450 | 1.550 | 3 x F | 5.500 | 4 x q |
| 600 | 870 | 4 x F | 2.340 | 5 x q |
| 750 | 560 | 5 x F | 1.190 | 7 x q |
| 900 | 387 | 6 x F | 690 | 8 x q |
| 1000 | 314 | 7 x F | 503 | 9 x q |
| 1200 | 218 | 8 x F | 290 | 10 x q |
GRP gratings are versatile and can be used in a variety of industrial and environmental sectors. Here are just a few examples of applications :
GRP gratings are ideal for the aggressive environments encountered in the water treatment, chemical, mining and oil industries. With their anti-slip, non-conductive and corrosion-resistant properties, these gratings offer a safe and cost-effective solution for platforms and walkways, increasing worker safety and plant durability.
In the transport industry, characterized by harsh weather conditions and corrosive elements, GRP gratings are used for pedestrian traffic areas and stair treads. They ensure safety and require little maintenance, even in extreme conditions such as tank filling and emptying areas.
Food and beverage production environments, often corrosive and humid, benefit greatly from GRP gratings. Resistant to acid solutions and with anti-slip properties, these gratings require little maintenance and ensure greater safety in production and cleaning areas.
In recreational facilities such as water parks, zoos, marinas and aquariums, GRP gratings offer exceptional corrosion resistance and safety. They are ideal for walkways, feeding areas, swimming pools, park equipment and other areas requiring protection against moisture and wear.
GRP gratings are equally versatile for a variety of other industrial and commercial applications. They are used for platforms, walkways, stairs, gutter covers and internal equipment supports, offering a reliable and durable solution to ensure safety and efficiency in a variety of uses.
