Description
FibreGrid Grating panels are a high performance open mesh flooring system, made from high quality FRP (fibre re-
enforced plastic). The product is used for a vast amount of different applications.
Unless indicated otherwise, the gratings will be constructed using high grade chemical resistant Isophthalic Polyester
resin (full chemical resistance chart available on request). The resin will include a UV inhibitor and be fire retardant
according to BS 476: Part 7 Class 2 rating (certificate available on request). The gratings shall have an “embedded”
grit top surface for superior hard wearing qualities.

Moulded Grating Slip Resistant Levels
Measured using the Pendulum test method (WF rubber slider) – certificate available on request.
The UK Slip Resistance Group guide to slip resistance of a floor for able bodied pedestrians.
To ensure that the above slip resistant levels are maintained the panels should be kept clean in accordance with the
attached Moulded Grating cleaning guide and tips.
Moulded Grating Installation Guide and Tips
Safety
When installing Grating panels, standard personal protective equipment should be worn as a minimum. These include
3M dust mask (or similar), safety goggles, heavy duty gloves and overalls. The Grating panels should be cut in a well
ventilated area or close to extraction points, ideally cutting tools will be fitted with a vacuum system to reduce dust
levels. Dust residue can be disposed of using normal waste disposal methods. No special permissions or licenses are
required at the time of going to print.
Preparation
Ensure that the areas that are to have Grating fitted are clean and dry and free from loose and friable material.
Dry fit all Grating panels to ensure that they fit freely and that they sit flat down on to the surface. If required, Grating
panels can be trimmed on site to suit using an industrial jigsaw and appropriate cutting blades (Bosch “T101 A1F” or
similar are ideal).
‘M’ and ‘L’ Clips: Set out where you will be positioning your grating clips, a guide would be in each corner
and then every 500mm spaces. Push the clips into the open mesh squares so that the
clip sits neatly on the load bar(s) and the base of the clip is sitting close to the bottom of
the grating panel. If you are fixing directly into the existing surface, pilot drill through the
hole in the clip and into the substrate then fix using the appropriate screw and plug. If
you are fixing into a support frame you will need to drill through the frame and then put
through bolt fitting and tightening the washer and nut underneath the frame.
‘C’ Clips: To be used to join panels together, spacing will be determined by panel thickness but
assume one clip to be affixed every 500mm. at an angle slot clip over the 2 load bars
and twist so the clip is horizontal then screw in bolt to the threaded base of the clip and
tighten.
Whilst Moulded Grating is extremely resilient to dirt and contaminants, it can, as with most other things, become dirty.
Dirt and debris can easily be removed using a stiff brush and should be carried out on a regular basis.
If Moulded Grating has been subjected to spillages or the dirt has become embedded, detergents such as Grezoff or
similar can be used. It is always advisable to test any cleaning product on Moulded Grating before starting the cleaning
procedure. This can be done in an inconspicuous area of the installation or, if preferred, a sample can be sent, free of
charge for testing purposes.
Using the detergent, warm water and a suitable brush, scrub the areas until clean. The excess water can be removed
using a wet/dry vacuum cleaner or suitable absolvable materials.
Where circumstances allow, Moulded Grating can be power washed without causing harm.
The security of the fixings/adhesive should be checked on a regular basis. Circumstances will vary, based upon the
volume of foot traffic etc, but, as a guide, monthly inspections would be advisable.
