A Comprehensive Look at GRP Open Mesh Grating from Elemy
When it comes to industrial flooring, walkways, and access solutions, few materials are as reliable and innovative as GRP open mesh grating. At Elemy, we’re proud to lead the UK market in providing robust, compliant, and cutting-edge GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) grating systems.
From harsh outdoor environments to complex industrial settings, GRP open mesh grating is engineered to perform.
Why Choose GRP Open Mesh Grating?
GRP open mesh grating is a composite material formed from a matrix of resin reinforced with fibreglass strands. Its open grid structure offers excellent drainage, anti-slip properties, and lightweight strength. Compared to steel or aluminium alternatives, GRP provides several distinct advantages:
- Non-conductive and non-magnetic
- Up to 50% lighter than steel, simplifying transport and installation
- Corrosion-resistant, even in coastal and chemical-rich environments
- Fire retardant, compliant with BS476 PT 7 and ASTM E-84 standards
- Anti-slip gritted surface, ideal for walkways, platforms, and catwalks
Elemy’s Open Mesh Grating Range
At Elemy, we stock GRP open mesh grating in a variety of thicknesses and configurations to suit every environment:
- 25mm, 38mm, and 50mm thickness options
- Mesh sizes including 38x38mm and 19x19mm ball-proof configurations
- Panel sizes up to 3660mm x 1220mm for fewer joins and cleaner installs
- Colours: light grey, dark grey, yellow, green, and more – all UV resistant

Applications Across Industries
Elemy’s GRP open mesh grating has seen use across multiple sectors including:
