Steady Demand For Mentis Fibreglass Floor Grating
This article has been supplied.
Excellent corrosion resistant properties coupled with increased strength and enhanced safety benefits are the primary reasons why the demand for Fibreglass Floor Grating has stayed steady, according to Lance Quinlan, national technical sales consultant at Andrew Mentis.
“This composite material product offers end-users significant benefits and is proving particularly popular in applications where it is necessary to provide protection against harsh environmental factors or corrosive chemicals,” he says.
Among these benefits is ease of installation and low maintenance costs. Quinlan says Fibreglass Floor Grating is easy to install and does not require welding or end banding. The product is also lightweight making it easier to handle and larger sections can be installed. This is both a labour and cost saving.
The structural integrity of the product is enhanced as the corners on the inside of the square opening are moulded to a small radius. During construction the bars are tapered towards the bottom and this prevents build-up of debris and makes cleaning simple.
The product does not rust or need painting or coating, and is not affected by the sun. It is virtually maintenance free which can be a major long term cost saving.
By optimising the glass fibre content not only is it corrosion resistant but the load bearing capacity is optimised. Quinlan says that the one piece moulded construction results in enhanced strength in both directions and eliminates loosening of the product with repeat use. Fibreglass is non-conductive, has no resale value and is not affected by temperature fluctuations. It also provides electrical insulation making it suitable for all applications.
Mentis FRP Grating is complementary to the well-known Mentis range of steel floor grating products. Typical applications include industrial processing facilities and wastewater treatment works where the floor grating is proving its worth.
