GRP Non-slip gratings

Real Safety’s non-slip gratings are designed to provide excellent slip resistance.

The obvious places to install fiberglass non slip gratings are: Stairs, walkways, landings, ship decks, bridges, production lines, chemical rooms, helidecks as well as any other place using grating flooring, where galvanized steel grates have traditionally been used. That makes them an ideal alternative to normal steel grates.

Our non-slip gratings are the only ones on the market to be certified and produced in the EU. 
Due to this particular certification, they are also approved for use on Offshore Units for the specific Classification of Steel Ships, where fire criteria is extremely tough. 

What are the benefits?

These non slip grp/frp gratings do not rust, corrode or deteriorate over time, which saves time and money on maintenance costs. Other benefits include:

  • Enhanced safety – The grating surface is designed to provide a high coefficient of friction, which helps to prevent slips, trips and falls.
  • Durability – Designed to withstand heavy use and exposure to the elements, making them a durable and long-lasting solution. 
  • Low maintenance – Easy to clean by high pressure water and do not require painting, sandblasting or replacement.  
  • Non Conductive –  A safer alternative to steel grates in settings where electrical conductivity is a concern. 
  • Cost-effective – Non slip gratings are lightweight and easy to handle, transport and install, which can save time and money during the installation process.

Where do you use anti-slip grating?

Non slip fiberglass gratings can be used in a wide range of settings and applications due to their numerous benefits, specifically where there is a need for a durable and slip-resistant flooring. 

Anti-slip grating application
  • Industrial and manufacturing facilities
  • On landings
  • Ship decks
  • Bridges
  • Production lines
  • Helidecks
  • Chemical processing plants
  • Marine environments
  • Oil and Gas industry
  • Commercial buildings 
  • Food processing facilities
GRP non slip gratings compared to traditional steel grates
  • Our gratings are designed to provide superior slip resistance even in harsh conditions. Traditional steel grates, on the other hand, can be slippery when wet, posing a safety risk.
  • It is made of fiberglass and resin materials that are highly resistant to corrosion. Traditional steel grates can rust and corrode over time, which weakens the grating and poses a safety risk. 
  •  They are significantly lighter than conventional steel grates, which result in lower installation costs and less strain on workers. 
  • They are not affected by UV radiation, so they do not need to be painted or treated with protective coatings.
Reducing accidents – statistics

Slips, trips and falls are a leading cause of workplace accidents and cost employers billions of dollars each year in lost productivity and business. In fact, the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death, is falls.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 1,000 workers die each year as a result of a slip, trip or fall and countless other mild or serious injuries resulting in days away from work. It is therefore of utmost importance for companies, organisations and institutions to understand the hazards.

If accidents happen due to a lack of safety measures on a walkway or areas in which people walk or work on, a company may be held liable for the injuries and damages suffered by the injured party. This can result in significant legal and financial consequences for the company, organisation or institutions, including: 

  • Lawsuits
  • Fines and penalties 
  • Increased insurance costs
  • Damage to reputation

Frequently Asked Questions

If you can´t find the answer you are looking for here, please contact us.

How do I install grating?

Please view our installation and cutting guide for Grating here.

Installing non slip grating is easy. It might also require that the product is cut to size on size. That is easily done by following our installation guide

Cutting grating is similar to working with wood, with some slight differences. To obtain clean, precise and good quality cuts, it is recommended to use diamond tipped circular blades of the type that is used for bricks. 

How do I maintain and clean anti-slip grating?

Our grating is a no maintenance product. 

Regular cleaning will keep your stair treads free of debris and looking new. Products are easily cleaned by high-pressure water or steam – or just a normal broom. 

NOTE: Do not use steel brushes or chemical cleaners on the surface. 

How long do GRP gratings last?

Our grating usually last much longer than the minimum 10 year guarantee we offer.

How much does grating cost?

It depends on the area and specifications. Contact us today! We would be more than happy to quote a price for you.

Is it a sustainable product?

Non slip gratings are generally considered to be sustainable due to their durability, low maintenance requirements, and resistance to corrosion and degradation. In terms of reuse, these safety gratings can often be removed and reused if they are in good condition. They can also be cut and reshaped to fit different applications. 

For recycling, the process for GRP is not yet widely established and the technology for recycling is still developing. 

Why are anti-slip gratings important?

GRP non slip grating is available with an efficient non-slip surface. That makes them an ideal, value for money alternative to normal steel grates – and a perfect walkway grating option.

What materials are used to make grating?

Real Safety gratings are made from a mixture of fiberglass and resin, which are moulded into a patterned grid shape. The combination of resin matrix and fiberglass reinforces and creates a lightweight, durable and corrosion-resistant material that is well-suited for use in harsh environments. Other characteristics include:

  • Extremely light – about ⅓ of the weight of a steel grate 
  • Anti slip top surface – GRP gratings have a slip proof surface that offer excellent slip resistance
  • We offer GRP gratings in standard colour grey ( RAL 7004), or any other colour combination. 

Surface choice: 

  • Grit Top
  • Concave Top 
  • Covered Grit Top 
How do I choose the right grating solution?

Several factors must be taken into consideration when choosing the right gratings to ensure safety, compliance, durability and cost-effectiveness of the product – including: 

  • Determining load capacity 
  • Slip resistance required 
  • Determining the size and shape needed
  • Installation method
  • Determining the environment and surface 
  • Traffic volume 

Fiberglass non slip grating is available with an efficient non-slip surface. That makes them an ideal, value for money alternative to normal steel grates – and a perfect walkway grating option.
