In demanding environments where safety, hygiene, and durability are non-negotiable, solid top GRP grating is an outstanding solution. Unlike open mesh grating, the solid surface eliminates gaps, making it ideal for areas where small objects might fall through or where a completely sealed walking surface is essential.
At Elemy, we take pride in delivering premium-quality solid top grating solutions that combine cutting-edge materials science with unmatched industry expertise.
What is Solid Top GRP Grating?
Solid top grating is made by bonding a 3mm solid GRP plate on top of a moulded open grating panel, creating a completely enclosed, load-bearing surface. This setup delivers:
- Superior load distribution
- Smooth, anti-slip walking surface
- Zero visibility through grating for added privacy and safety
- Total containment of liquids, debris, and tools
Elemy’s solid top gratings are available in 28mm, 41mm, and 53mm thicknesses, with anti-slip finishes and industry-leading specifications.
Why Choose Elemy’s Solid Top GRP Grating?
Elemy’s solid top GRP grating has a reputation for quality, performance, and compliance. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Fire-rated to ASTM E-84 Class A
- Anti-slip grit surface for excellent PTV readings
- Corrosion and chemical resistance, even in the harshest environments
- Lightweight design, up to 50% lighter than steel
- No conductivity, making it ideal for electrical and offshore use
- Low maintenance, non-sparking and non-magnetic
With a weight of just 20.42 to 31.62 kg/m², depending on thickness, and max spans of up to 1700mm, our panels outperform traditional materials in strength-to-weight ratio.
Best Use Cases for Solid Top Grating
Elemy’s clients use solid top GRP grating across a wide range of applications:
- Chemical plants and refineries: where containment and anti-corrosion are essential
- Walkways and mezzanine floors: for smooth, trip-free surfaces
- Service trenches and plant rooms: where debris, oils, or tools need to be contained
- Food and beverage facilities: due to its non-porous, easily cleaned finish
- Offshore oil rigs and marine platforms: where salt and moisture destroy steel
With non-slip surfaces and smooth finishes, Elemy’s gratings are the ideal alternative to chequered plate or galvanised steel in critical environments.
