Product Overview
Skywind Composites manufactures high slip resistance FRP floor grating for industrial walkways, operating platforms, maintenance areas, stair treads and access floors.
Made from fiberglass reinforcement and a thermosetting resin matrix, our FRP grating combines high structural strength with slip-resistant surfaces for environments exposed to water, oil, chemicals, humidity and coastal weather.

Key Advantages
• High slip resistance for wet and oily areas
• Corrosion resistance in moisture and chemically aggressive environments
• Lightweight construction ($1/4$ the weight of steel) for easier handling and installation
• High strength-to-weight ratio
• Non-conductive fiberglass structure
• Low maintenance with no painting or rust prevention required
• Custom mesh, thickness, panel size and surface options
Surface Options
Industrial flooring performance depends heavily on the walking surface. Skywind offers three engineered surface configurations:
Gritted Surface
• Features: An abrasive grit layer bonded to the grating profile.
• Best for: Wastewater treatment plants, chemical facilities, oily work areas, and outdoor walkways where maximum traction is needed.
Concave / Anti-Slip Surface
• Features: A molded meniscus profile that provides drainage and textured footing while maintaining an open grid.
• Best for: General industrial platforms, walkways, and routine maintenance areas.
Covered FRP Grating
• Features: A solid top layer laminated onto structural FRP grating.
• Best for: Preventing dropped objects through the floor, accommodating narrow wheels, and containing spills.

Industry Applications
Wastewater Treatment: Access platforms, walkways, and pump stations exposed to humidity and water.
Chemical Processing: Corrosion-resistant flooring matched to specific chemical exposure levels.
Oil & Gas: Maintenance walkways and equipment platforms exposed to oil and coastal weather.
Marine & Docks: Saltwater-resistant, lightweight decking solutions.
Installation Guidelines
Check Supports
Verify that supporting beams and bearing points align with the specified span.
01
Measure & Cut
Use diamond-grit blades to fabricate any required cut-outs.
02
Position
Place panels with proper bearing orientation.
03
Secure
Fasten using stainless steel clips (minimum 4 clips per panel).
04
Inspect
Check alignment, fastening, and surface stability before commissioning.
05
Quality Control & Documentation
Skywind maintains strict quality control from raw material verification to final panel inspection. Available project documentation includes:
• Technical datasheets and inspection records
• Material compliance documents
• Test reports (including ASTM E84 fire performance when specified)
• Export packaging and palletizing lists
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes FRP grating slip resistant?
A: The walking surface features either an integrally molded concave profile or a bonded abrasive grit layer designed to maintain traction in wet or oily conditions.
Q: How do I choose the right resin for chemical environments?
A: Resin selection depends on chemical concentration, operating temperature, and exposure time. Isophthalic polyester handles standard industrial environments, while vinyl ester is recommended for aggressive acids and alkalis.
Q: Can FRP grating be cut to custom sizes?
A: Yes. Panels can be pre-cut to project drawings, including custom cut-outs for pipes and machinery.
