How to Specify the Right FRP System

Share your project requirements and our team will recommend the appropriate grating system.

Tell Us These Details

Include the following in your enquiry for accurate recommendations:

  • Area and panel sizes
  • Load / traffic type
  • Environment (chemical / coastal / wet / oily)
  • Surface finish (concave / grit)
  • Colour requirements (standard / safety coding)
  • Delivery location (South Africa / cross-border)

Typical Solutions by Environment

Corrosive Plants

Resin selection guidance — vinyl ester or polyester options based on chemical exposure requirements.

Wet & Oily Areas

Slip-resistant surface options — concave surface as standard, optional grit top for enhanced traction.

Structural Spans

Pultruded profiles for structural systems — high strength-to-weight ratio for demanding load applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FRP grating for industrial applications.

FRP grating is used across mining and heavy industry, warehouses and factories, chemical and processing plants, water and wastewater treatment facilities, marine and coastal environments, and infrastructure utilities such as substations and cable trenches.
Fibreglass grating is typically used in walkways, platforms, trench covers, and flooring in corrosive or wet environments. It is well-suited to chemical plants, mining operations, coastal installations, and areas requiring slip resistance and corrosion resistance.
Steel grating is preferred for structural spans and heavy-duty applications requiring higher load capacity. Fibreglass grating is better suited for corrosive environments where non-conductive properties and corrosion resistance are priorities.
Yes. FRP grating is inherently corrosion resistant and performs well in chemical, marine, and high-moisture environments. Resin selection (polyester or vinyl ester) can be tailored to specific chemical exposure requirements.
Fibreglass grating features a concave surface as standard for inherent slip resistance. An optional grit top is available for enhanced traction in wet, oily, or high-traffic environments.
Yes. We offer custom cutting services including precision cutting for non-standard panel sizes, complex shapes, holes, notches, and edge finishing to suit your project requirements.
Yes. Fibrekor is manufactured in South Africa and we supply FRP grating across Africa, supporting bulk supply, project-based delivery, and cross-border logistics coordination.
Yes. We offer contractor-ready supply with technical guidance, installation support, and partnership options for distributors and service providers across Africa.
