Grating accessories include fixing systems, clips, and support beams used to secure FRP grating panels. They are made from corrosion‑resistant materials such as stainless steel or FRP. This page outlines the main selection factors for these components.
Product Family Overview
Proper installation of FRP grating requires accessories that account for thermal expansion, panel movement, and load transfer. Common accessories include M‑clips, C‑clips, L‑clips, and support beams made from FRP or aluminum.
Selection Considerations
Key factors when choosing grating accessories include:
- Grating type – molded or pultruded, which affects clip engagement.
- Panel depth – determines clip size and spacing.
- Support spacing – influences the number of clips per panel.
- Environmental exposure – dictates material grade (e.g., 304 vs. 316 stainless steel).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can standard steel clips be used with FRP grating?
Standard steel clips are not recommended in corrosive environments because they will corrode. Stainless steel or FRP clips should be used to maintain system integrity.
How are FRP grating panels fixed in place?
Panels are typically fixed with clips that engage the bearing bars and attach to the support structure. The number and type of clips depend on panel size, load, and wind uplift requirements.
