The fiberglass grating

system provides a cost effective functional

solution for all flooring, walking, decking and traffic
areas where superior performance in adverse conditions At FCI, different types of
and corrosive environment is desired. An option on all gratings are available including Molded Gratings
the grating series is angular quartz, epoxy bonded and Pultruded Gratings which further can be modified as
anti-slip surface, available for the specific areas per our customers demand.

Pultruded Grating
A grating series using I shaped Pultruded bearing bars
held together by two Pultruded cross tie components.
These cross tie components provide a mechanical lock
and fixed spacing for each bearing bar.
The T series having bearing bar and cross tie tops at
the same level, provide a flush top walking surface
affording maximum skid resistance lateral stability and
pedestrian walking comfort
