There are several different options for choosing grating for an industrial floor. In this article, we will look at three popular options: steel, aluminum, and fiberglass reinforced plastic.

Characteristics and advantages of gratings made of different materials
In each case, we have highlighted the main characteristics and advantages of each material.
steel grating
Steel is the most popular material for floor gratings. It is made using a combination of vertical load bars and horizontal cross bars.
Steel as a material provides excellent strength and corrosion resistance. It also has high fluidity and tensile strength.
Aluminum floor decking
Aluminum floor grates are often chosen as a lightweight option. As a material, aluminum is not as strong as steel, but it is lighter. As a result, aluminum floor gratings are popular in industrial environments where weight is a major factor.
Aluminum is also sometimes considered more aesthetically pleasing than other materials.
GRP floor grating
Glass fiber reinforced plastic floor gratings are replacing traditional floor grating materials in a number of different industrial applications.
As the name suggests, it is not made of metal. Molded GRP is a mesh of vertical and horizontal layers of fiber roving and liquid resin combined into a mold. Fiberglass is made up of strands of resin and fiberglass and pulled through a series of steps to create a new composite material.
Working with Pressnastil, each client will be able to find a suitable floor grating option for himself.
