FAQs
Q: What is GRP and why is it better than metal grating?
A: GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), also known as FRP, is a composite material that is corrosion-resistant, non-conductive, lightweight, and incredibly strong. Unlike steel, it won’t rust or degrade in harsh environments, making it ideal for long-term, low-maintenance use.
Q: Is the surface really anti-slip? How does it perform when wet or icy?
A: Yes – the surface is embedded with durable angular quartz grit, providing a high level of slip resistance that exceeds UK safety standards (BS 7976-2). It performs exceptionally well in wet, oily, and icy conditions.
Q: Can I cut the panels myself?
A: Absolutely. GRP can be cut on-site using standard power tools fitted with diamond-tipped or carbide blades. Always wear appropriate PPE, including a dust mask and goggles, when cutting.
Q: How is the grating fixed to the floor or frame?
A: We recommend using stainless steel fixing clips such as M-Clips, C-Clips, or dome washers. These ensure secure installation and allow for panel removal if needed for maintenance or access.
Q: What’s the difference between standard mesh and Mini/Micro Mesh?
A: Standard mesh (typically 38mm or 50mm pitch) is ideal for general use. Mini and Micro Mesh have smaller openings and are designed to prevent tools or debris from falling through – ideal when there’s pedestrian traffic below or where enhanced safety is required.
Q: Is it fire safe?
A: Yes – our standard panels are manufactured using isophthalic resin and achieve a fire rating of BS 476: Part 7 Class 2. For environments with more stringent fire safety requirements, we offer Class 1 or Vinyl Ester options.
Q: How long does GRP grating last?
A: GRP grating typically lasts 20–25 years or longer, depending on usage and environment. It is UV-stable and highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan with virtually no maintenance required.
Q: Can I use it in chemical or food processing areas?
A: Yes. The isophthalic resin used in our standard panels is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals. For extremely aggressive environments, our Vinyl Ester GRP Grating offers enhanced chemical resistance.
Q: Is it suitable for public use (e.g. parks, marinas)?
A: Definitely. SlipsAway QuartzGrip® is a popular choice for public walkways, pontoons, bridges, and marina decking due to its slip resistance, low maintenance, and clean, professional look.
Q: Do you offer custom sizes or colours?
A: Yes! We offer cut-to-size services and can provide custom colours to match your project or brand (RAL colours available on request). Contact us for a bespoke quote.

Reliable and strong for industrial use” We installed GRP mesh grating across platforms in our warehouse. It’s handled forklift traffic, oil spills, and daily footfall with no issues. Zero rust and no maintenance — exactly what we needed
I got one of these grids to go at the bottom of a flight of outside wooden steps which during a frostytime they can get very slippery. One of the grand children did slip and ended up with a substantialbruise. That started the look around for something that was anti slip and take abuse.When I mentioned it to a friend he talked about these grids recommending them for hard use.Now they have been given a good hard test and passed them with a medal for number One.....Really quite heavy in weight so …wont slip away. Can be shaped to size (not tried that yet)All in all pleased.
We bought an old house and we love it but one of the issues we were having is that occasionally the basement has water ingress and can flood.We will get hat sorted our, but in the meantime this is a really helpful way of being able to get down there to read the utility meters without getting our feet wet.This is completely waterproof, quite heavy and robust and is non-slip underfoot by virtue of the greated design .Best of all it is completely waterproof and will not rust.This is incredibly ve…rsatile and probably has loads of other uses but that was what we put ours to do.This is well made and not inexpensive but case of you getting what you pay for in the qualiry stakes and in our case a really practical if temporary fix .
This fiberglass grated platform is strong and solid underfoot. I provides a secure platform for multiple purposes and won't rot or rust like wood or metal. It is also bright yellow so very visible! The product finish is a bit rough around the edges - given how it will be used, it's not too much of a problem, but I expected better for the price of £70 (at time of review).
I needed a strong yet lightweight solution for a project, and these fibreglass grating panels turned out to be a great choice. The bright yellow colour makes them easy to spot, which is especially useful for safety purposes. I was particularly impressed with the durability of the fibreglass-reinforced plastic—it’s sturdy enough to handle significant weight while still being easy to move and install.One of the standout features for me was the non-slip surface, which provides extra grip even in w…et conditions. That added level of safety is something I really appreciate, especially in areas prone to moisture. The panels were also simple to cut and customise, which made fitting them into my space much easier than I expected. Unlike metal grates, there’s no rust to worry about, so maintenance is minimal.Overall, I’m really pleased with these grating panels. They’re reliable, easy to work with, and offer excellent durability without being overly heavy. Whether for industrial use, a home project, or even outdoor walkways, these panels provide a solid, long-lasting solution. I’d definitely recommend them for anyone needing a tough yet manageable flooring option.
Used in a chemical plant — performs perfectly” This stuff doesn’t corrode, doesn’t spark, and handles spills without damage. Great slip resistance and zero conductivity. Ideal for our environment.
