GRATING

COMPRESSION-MOLDED GRATING

Kordek® offers the best available combination of strength, durability and ease of installation. The compression-molded grating system, originated by International Grating, Inc. is the only system of its kind in the world. The process exerts over 600 tons of heated force uniformly, forcing glass deep into the resin, creating an extra-dense and less porous grating. This greater strength with less thickness requires fewer support members, which reduces material cost.

OPEN-MOLDED GRATING

GatorGrate® is a one-piece (integral), reinforced polyester or vinylester FRP grating available in standard panels and sizes. It is manufactured by interweaving continuous, thoroughly-wetted, fiberglass strand with thermosetting resin systems. Typical applications include floor systems, walkways, work platforms, stairs, ramps, trench covers and catwalks. GatorGrate's integral, long-lasting anti-slip top surface makes this the grating of choice in many industries. It is preferred when slippery working conditions are present.

GatorDeck® has a primary advantage over molded FRP gratings (other than being generally lower in cost): It has superior load-supporting ability over longer spans. GatorDeck is the result of a continuous molding technique in which glass roving, glass matting and a synthetic surface veil are literally pulled (pultruded) bath. simultaneously through a flame-retardant polyester or vinylester resin GatorDeck also features a two-part mechanical locking cross-rod, which increases the support and stability of the grating under extreme loads. The patented flush-top design of the cross-rods and bearing bars also enhance the unidirectional strength and provide easy fabrication and installation.
