Vitaglass is a moulded grating manufactured with continuous glass fibre strands and resin. It is non-conductive, non-corrosive, non-magnetic and low maintenance. These properties make Vitaglass a cost effective, lightweight solution for walkways, platforms, gullies, trenches and mezzanines, offering good chemical resistance together with excellent anti-slip properties. Standard panel size: 1220mm x 2440mm. Vitaglass is easy to install and available in a variety of thickness and mesh sizes:
Grating Depth | Mesh (mm) | Open Area % | Approx. Weight kg/m2 |
---|---|---|---|
13mm | 50 x 50 | 72 | 5.9kgs/m2 |
25mm | 38 x 38 | 68 | 12.3kgs/m2 |
30mm | 38 x 38 | 68 | 14.6kgs/m2 |
30mm | 20 x 20 | 42 | 18.0kgs/m2 |
38mm | 38 x 38 | 68 | 19.5kgs/m2 |
50mm | 50 x 50 | 71 | 23.5kgs/m2 |
Vitaglass Pultruded Grating is a system manufactured using ‘I’ section load bearing bars mechanically locked and bonded to transverse bars for maximum strength. Vitaglass Pultruded Grating is suitable for wide spans whilst offering a large open area for drainage. 1500mm Clear span for 5kN/m. Vitaglass Pultruded Grating conforms to BS4592 Part 4 1992 and BS5395 Part 3 1985 and withstands a 5kJ impact.
Vitaglass Phenolic gratings provide ultimate performance where fire resistance,colour coded emergency walkway, low smoke and toxicity emissions are critical. Designed to withstand prolonged fire exposure without sustaining structural damage. These are the advantages:
We offer a range of different resin types:
*Phenolic grating is designed to withstand prolonged fire exposure without sustaining structural
damage where fire resistance, low smoke and toxis emissions are critical. US Coast Guard Approval
Level 2 is available.
Vitaglass plate is a lighter alternative to a standard steel patterned plate and is an extremely durable against the elements. It is available in different resin types depending on application:
Vitaglass plate is available in a number of different colours for aesthetic purposes.
ISO resin GRP tubular hand railing and connector are available as an alternative to stainless steel in high corrosive areas such as food processing plants, mine leaching plants, oil and petro chemical platforms. Pultruded kickflats are also available in either flat or profiled sections.
Vitaglass stairtreads are available in 38mm deep and 38mm x 38mm mesh in green with quartz grit top surface and black non slip nosing. Standard lengths: 881mm, 767mm, 729mm in widths of 235mm and 273mm.
Fabricated using the same manufacturing pultrusion process as the grating ‘I’ beams, wide flange beams and channels are available in IFP VEFR resins in both mm and imperial sizes. The GRP structural profiles offer lightweight alternatives to steel with equivalent tensile strengths.
“M” and “C” type fixing clips are available in 316 stainless steel for both moulded and pultured grating. These fixings clip over the bars and consist of a bolt, nut and washer. A minimum of 4 clips per panel / per m2 is recommended.
