50mm Open Mesh Grating
The 50mm Open Mesh GRP Grating is designed for the most demanding load-bearing applications, combining high structural strength with long-term resistance to corrosion and environmental degradation. Manufactured from moulded glass-reinforced polymer (GRP), this grating provides a durable, non-conductive alternative to steel in heavy-duty access and flooring systems.
Its 50mm profile offers increased rigidity and span capability, ensuring stability across large unsupported areas. The Open Mesh configuration promotes efficient drainage, reducing surface water build-up and improving safety in high-traffic industrial settings.

50mm Open Mesh Grating FAQs
What is the main advantage of using 50mm GRP grating?
The 50mm thickness offers superior rigidity and load capacity, making it suitable for large-span installations where safety and structural strength are critical.
Can it replace steel grating in load-bearing environments?
Yes. The high-strength GRP composition provides equivalent support with significantly less weight and no corrosion risk, ideal for long-term installations.
Is this product suitable for high-moisture or chemical environments?
Yes. GRP is inherently resistant to moisture, salt, and a wide range of industrial chemicals, maintaining structural performance even under continuous exposure.
How is slip resistance verified?
All IMS GRP gratings are tested to BS 7976-2 for pedestrian safety and comply with BS EN ISO 14122 requirements for access and walkway applications.
Can panels be pre-fabricated or supplied to specific site layouts?
Yes. IMS provides a full fabrication service, offering cut-to-size panels, pre-drilled fixings, and installation-ready assemblies to fit individual project requirements.
