Benefits of VersaGrate Fiberglass (FRP) Molded & Pultruded Grating
STRENGTH
With one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material, VersaGrate fiberglass (FRP) grating is strong and durable, ready for years of dependable use. Unlike steel, VersaGrate has "memory", and will spring back to its original shape when deflected. Even major impacts inflict little damage with no failure.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
The key feature of VersaGrate fiberglass (FRP) grating is corrosion resistance. With a variety of premium resin systems, VersaGrate fiberglass (FRP) grating is the choice for a wide range of corrosive environments. It will not rot, rust or corrode, providing many years of use with little or no maintenance. No scraping or painting required.
SLIP RESISTANCE
Slip and fall accidents are the single most expensive and common type of industrial accident. Choose VersaGrate with either silica grit top or all-resin meniscus top, and regain sure footing in slippery work areas. Water, oils, detergents, and food byproducts are no match for VersaGrate fiberglass (FRP) grating, stair treads, stair covers and floor plates.
FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION
VersaGrate fiberglass (FRP) grating products are easily cut with standard power tools, using masonry or diamond embedded blades. We recommend using a worm gear driven circular saw, but standard tools can be used for most cutting. Also, there's no steel cutting, banding or welding, which require specialized tools and often require facility permits. Fiberglass (FRP) grating is lightweight and easy to handle, requiring no special lifting or installation equipment.
FLEXIBILITY AND ERGONOMICS
Do your employees notice the hardness of their work floor surfaces? Does that contribute to on-the-job fatigue? VersaGrate fiberglass (FRP) grating is naturally flexible, providing a comfortable, non-skid surface that is easy to stand on. An ergonomic work floor reduces fatigue and injury, and increases productivity, contributing to a better work environment.
LIGHT WEIGHT
Have you ever tried to lift a panel of steel grating without a crane or lift? Two men can easily and comfortably lift a 4 foot by 12 foot panel of VersaGrate fiberglass (FRP) grating. With an average weight of around 3 to 4 pounds per square foot, VersaGrate fiberglass (FRP) grating is easy to carry and install. It's also easy to remove for maintenance access or cleaning underneath. Simply unscrew the clips and lift out. No special lifting equipment required!

Molded FRP Grating
Versagrate Molded Fiberglass (FRP) Grating and Options
VersaGrate specializes in molded fiberglass grating, offering a wide variety of meshes, panel sizes, grit surfaces, colors, and resins. Whether the problem you're looking to solve involves strength, safety, corrosion, or installation costs, VersaGrate is your versatile solution.
Grating Resins
PFR-25: A high-grade polyester resin for use in most applications where good corrosion resistance is required. ASTM flame spread rating of 25 or less.
VFR-25: A premium-grade vinylester resin for use in applications where extreme corrosion resistance is required. ASTM flame spread rating of 25 or less.
FFR-35: A sanitary, food-grade polyester resin for use in the food, dairy, or meat packing industry. Food compatible ingredients are used in the fire-retardant additive, giving a flame spread rating of 35 or less.
Grating Meshes
VersaGrate offers a variety of mesh patterns for molded fiberglass grating. The most common are 1-1/2" square, 2" square, and 1" x 4" rectangular.
1-1/2" square mesh is by far the most popular, and is available in a variety of thicknesses.
Grating Surfaces
Slip and fall accidents are one of the greatest dangers in an industrial environment, costing employers both time and money. Versagrate offers a wide variety of anti-slip surfaces to help eliminate this danger:
Embedded Grit: Grit is added to the mold after the grating has been laid but not cured. Grit and resin are forced into the top of the grating and allowed to cure with the grating. A clean, durable grit surface.
Post-cure Grit: After the grating is cured and removed from the mold, grit is applied to the top of the grating with a strong adhesive. The grit surface is heat-cured with an additional top coat of adhesive for a maximum bond.
Meniscus: No grit is added to the surface after the grating is removed from the mold. A natural anti-slip meniscus surface is formed during the curing process.
Molded Grating Colors
An assortment of standard colors are available, including green, yellow, light gray, and dark gray. Special colors include orange, red, and other shades of green. Custom colors are available for special order.

Stair Treads
Stair Tread Covers
VersaTread Fiberglass (FRP) Stair Treads
VersaTread fiberglass stair treads combine the unique features of fiberglass grating with an easy-to-fabricate panel. Waste is virtually eliminated by the double-bar cutting channel conveniently spaced every six inches, leaving a solid bar on each side of the cut. No nubs to cut off between treads equals no wasted grating!
Standard panel size is 1-1/2" thick, 22-3/4" wide by 12' long with tread nosing on each side of the panel, allowing treads to be cut from both sides. Standard mesh is 1-1 /2" by 6".
All VersaGrate fiberglass stair treads utilize a gritted nosing for added slip-resistance. This nosing contrasts with the color of the stair tread, increasing visibility and reducing slip/fall accidents.
VersaGrate fiberglass stair treads are available pre-fabricated and ready-to-install!

Structural Shapes
Versagrate Fiberglass (FRP) Structural Shapes
Fiberglass structural shapes have one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any structural product, as well as superior corrosion resistance. Glassmat and roving are drawn through a resin bath and pulled through a heated die to form the desired shape. This process can yield almost any profile shape commonly used in structural construction. Fiberglass structural shapes are dimensionally stable, as well as thermally and electrically non-conductive.
Easy to fabricate as well as lightweight, fiberglass structural shapes are also easy to install, reducing costs associated with special lift equipment and tools.
VersaGrate structural shapes are available in a wide variety of shapes, including I-beam, equal leg angle, unequal leg angle, channel, square tube, and round tube. Concrete embedment angle is also available in a variety of sizes for use in areas where traditional metal embedment angle may corrode prematurely.
