FRP vs. Steel PRICE

VALUE = SERVICE LIFE

When comparing the price of Fibergrate fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) products to comparable metal or other conventional products, there are several factors to consider.

One of the most important factors is the safety cost. Slips and falls are the second leading cause of industrial accidents and one of the leading causes of death. The slip-resistant surfaces of Fibergrate products can dramatically reduce accidental slips and falls. With each lost workday accident costing $50,000 to $100,000, Fibergrate could be the least expensive solution available.

The initial, or first cost is usually figured on a square-foot basis. Fibergrate FRP material costs are typically higher than metal products. Too often the product with the lowest price is selected, particularly in new construction projects, because it seems to be the most economical. Unfortunately, the cheapest product often ends up costing more than Fibergrate FRP due to high maintenance and replacements costs of corroded building materials. The National Association of Corrosion Engineers estimates that the economic losses due to corrosion in the U.S. amount to $300 billion a year. Replacing corroded, unsafe flooring is one of Fibergrate's biggest markets. In most cases, if Fibergrate FRP had been installed initially, very few problems would have occurred.

Another important factor is installed cost. Fibergrate FRP products are often less expensive than metallic products when installation costs are figured into the total price. Metal grating requires costly and time-consuming cutting and welding, and must be “end-banded.” Fibergrate FRP can easily be fabricated with hand tools. Molded grating construction requires no end-banding which saves time and money. Square mesh bearing bars run in both directions, maximizing utilization. Fibergrate FRP products weigh less than metal, making it easier to handle and less expensive to transport.

The most important factor is total or life cycle cost. In highly corrosive applications, metal products will often deteriorate in a few years or less. In the same installation, Fibergrate FRP products will last many times longer. Combined with safety cost savings, this often makes Fibergrate the lowest cost product available. These are the reasons so many companies have switched from conventional metallic products to Fibergrate FRP products.

Chemgrate® Grating Details

Specialty Chemgrate Meshes Special meshes are available to meet specific industry or customer needs. Features include thoroughly wetted glass reinforcement for maximum corrosion resistance and molded interwoven construction. If a special mesh pattern is in your plans, we will be pleased to work with you to design and manufacture it to meet your exact specifications.

Molded Grating Details


The strength and corrosion resistance of FRP

grating are related to the glass content, resin content,

resin type and method of construction. Fibergrate

molded products provide an outstanding balance of

corrosion resistance, slip resistance and strength.

There are three frequently used methods of

support for molded fiberglass grating:

1) two continuous edge supports with bearing

bars perpendicular to the supports;

2) continuous support around all sides; and

3) four-corner support, or point support. (For

example, pedestals are provided to support the

grating a few inches above the existing floor

when large volumes of liquids are flowing

onto the floor and where a slip-resistant

drainable floor surface is required because of

operating requirements.)

Panels are normally supported around the perimeter

to assure panel-to-panel alignment.

In using Fibergrate’s grating, the principles are

similar to metal grating usage, but you must keep

in mind that the flexural modulus of elasticity of

reinforced fiberglass bars is lower than that of steel.

As a result, the allowable deflection is often the

limiting consideration.

Engineering NotesOptimum floor installation costs are achieved

by minimizing the combined cost of the support

structure and grating. As the span is decreased, load

capacity requirements of the grating are reduced.

Estimating two or three span options will establish

the optimum system.

Mesh Selection: The following notes can

be helpful in selecting the optimum mesh

configuration.

(1) Grating with heavier bars should be selected

for floors subjected to more abusive services.

In these type applications the 3/8" wide

bearing bars and 5/8" crossbars of the 1"

(1" x 4") Heavy Duty and the 1-1/2"

(1-1/2" x 6") would be more suitable than

the 1/4" wide bars on other mesh sizes.

(2) Rectangular mesh pattern grating provides the

highest load-carrying capacity based upon

cost per square foot.

(3) Square pattern mesh configurations have

nearly equal strength in both directions. Spans

larger than four feet, multiple floor cutouts,

high load/four-sided support layouts or

pedestal supported floors are conditions

frequently well-served by square mesh

configurations. High utilization per standard

panel and bidirectional aesthetics are

beneficial features of square mesh patterns.

Simple Beam Support: All data in our tables are

based on simple beam support. Load and deflection

for other types of beams, i.e., cantilever, fixed end

support, continuous support, etc. can be estimated

by using standard beam formulas.

Load vs. Deflection: Load vs. Deflection is

approximately proportional for a given span (i.e. if a

concentrated 400 lb load deflects a 30" span 1/4", an

800 lb load would deflect the same span 1/2").

Other Spans: Consult Fibergrate's Engineering

Department.
