  1. www.fibertechglobal.com 10 QUESTIONS To Ask Before Purchasing FRP Gratings An Essential Buyer’s Guide for Engineers, Procurement Teams, and Project Managers

  2. Introduction Selecting the right FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) Grating is crucial for ensuring performance, and value. With so many manufacturers and options available, making an informed decision requires asking the right questions. long-term safety, This guide highlights 10 key questions every buyer should ask before purchasing FRP gratings - helping you choose a product that meets your technical, environmental, and budgetary requirements.

  3. 1. What Type of FRP Grating Do I Need – Moulded or Pultruded? FRP gratings come mainly in two types: Moulded FRP Gratings : Best for corrosion resistance and heavy chemical exposure. Pultruded FRP Gratings : Ideal where higher load-bearing strength and stiffness are required. Tips : Discuss your application environment and load needs with the manufacturer to determine the right type.

  4. 2. What Are the Load Requirements and Span Specifications? Always confirm the load-bearing capacity, deflection limits, and span tables before ordering. Request structural data and test reports. Ensure the grating meets ASTM, ISO, or BS standards for your project. Example : For pedestrian traffic, the grating should handle uniform loads of 5 kN/m² or more.

  5. 3. Is the Grating Resistant to Chemicals, UV, and Fire? Different resins provide different protection levels. Isophthalic & Vinyl Ester Resins : Offer superior chemical and corrosion resistance. UV Stabilizers & Fire Retardants : Enhance durability and safety in outdoor or high-heat areas. Ask for : Chemical resistance charts and fire-test certificates (ASTM E84, Class 1 rating, etc.).

  6. 4. What Surface Finish Options Are Available? Safety starts with the surface. Grit-top : Provides anti-slip performance for wet or oily surfaces. Concave-top : Easier to clean, suitable for hygienic areas. Covered-top : Prevents spillage or contamination. Note: Select the right surface based on foot traffic and environmental conditions.

  7. 5. Can the Manufacturer Provide Custom Sizes, Colors, or Shapes? Not every project fits standard panels. Ask if custom moulding, cutting, or color-matching services are available. Bright colors (yellow, green, grey) can improve visibility and safety compliance. Note: A good manufacturer will offer tailored fabrication without compromising strength.

  8. 6. What Quality Control and Testing Procedures Are Followed? Reliable manufacturers should adhere to strict quality checks such as: Mechanical load testing Bar-to-bar bonding inspection Dimensional accuracy verification Resin content and glass ratio tests Note: Ensure the manufacturer complies with standards like ISO 9001.

  9. 7. How Easy Is Installation and Maintenance? Ask about: Panel weight (for ease of handling) Fastening systems (clips, clamps, bolts) Cutting & edge-sealing requirements Note: The right FRP grating should reduce installation time and maintenance costs.

  10. 8. Does the Supplier Offer Technical Support and After-Sales Service? A strong partnership goes beyond the sale. Look for design assistance, installation guidance, and post-installation inspection support. Ensure prompt response for replacements or warranty claims. Note: Good customer service ensures project continuity and peace of mind.

  11. 9. What Is the Expected Lifespan and Warranty Coverage? High-quality FRP gratings can last 20–25 years or more with minimal maintenance. Ask about: Manufacturer’s warranty duration Performance guarantees under real-life conditions Note: Choose a manufacturer that stands behind their product’s longevity.

  12. 9. What Industries or Projects Has the Manufacturer Previously Served? Experience speaks volumes. Ask for case studies, references, or client lists. Evaluate whether they have experience in your industry - chemical, marine, wastewater, oil & gas, etc. Note: A proven track record indicates reliability and expertise.

  13. Conclusion Investing in FRP gratings isn’t just about buying a product - it’s about securing long-term safety, efficiency, and performance. By asking these ten questions, you’ll ensure your supplier provides the right material, design, and support for your application.
