Pultruded Fiberglass Grating

McNichols Pultruded Fiberglass Grating is a composite of fiberglass reinforcements (fibers and mat) and a thermosetting resin system, formed by the pultrusion manufacturing process, which produces many of the outstanding characteristics of the product.

Pultruded Grating bearing bars use both longitudinal (glass roving) and multidirectional (glass mat) reinforcements and a synthetic surfacing veil to provide unequaled strength and corrosion resistance. The densely packed core of continuous glass rovings gives the bar strength and stiffness in the longitudinal direction while the continuous glass mat provides strength in the transverse direction and prevents chipping, cracking and lineal fracturing. The synthetic surfacing veil provides a 100% pure resin surface for added corrosion resistance and UV protection.

Pultruded Grating products offer superior strength and stiffness. Since glass is the key contributor for the structural performance, pultruded offers the highest strength to unit weight ratio.

Pultruded Grating’s corrosion resistance is superior to stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized gratings. Many plank sizes allow for greater use versatility with longer spans, which may help reduce scrap loss.

Pultruded Grating may be ordered with or without an anti-skid grit surface. A variety of grit material and textures can be ordered.

Pultruded Grating should be the product of choice where strength and stiffness are paramount in structural applications where minimum deflection under high loads is required.
