Covered Grating

Covered grating is often used in loading and storage areas. Other applications include food processing facilities where covered grating walkways prohibit contamination to conveyor or work surfaces below; facilities where covered grating provides a walking surface and controls subsurface odors; walkways over tank tops and vats and solid flooring where narrow heels might present a tripping hazard with open mesh grating. Both Chemdeck and Fibergrate covered grating include a fiberglass gritted plate cover secondarily affixed to a molded grating panel. Covered grating offers a strong, level surface for foot or cart traffic and provides approximately 50% higher stiffness values than that of open mesh grating. Its standard grit-top cover assures secure footing.

Chemdeck® and Fibergrate® Covered Grating

Chemdeck® comes in standard panel sizes with either a 1/8" or 1/4" deep plate applied to standard depths of grating. Chemdeck is available in all four Chemgrate resin systems — FS-25, FGI-AM, CP-84 and VE-25 — offering a variety of colors (dependant on resin selection - see page 6) that complement most walking surfaces.
Fibergrate® covered grating consists of a 1/8" or 1/4" deep plate applied to standard Fibergrate grating depths. Fibergrate covered grating is available in Corvex®, IFR, Vi-Corr®, ELS and XFR resin systems.
Note: Type WLP Hold Down Clips are required to secure Chemdeck and Fibergrate covered grating panels to structural supports in order to eliminate potential damage to the covered grating. Panels Warp During Manufacture. Type WLP fasteners.
