Short answer. To get comparable quotes on FRP grating, send the same data to every supplier: type, depth, mesh, panel size, resin, surface, colour, fire class and quantity, and ask each for its load table. Price depends on those choices, not on the word "grating".
Quote checklist
| Item | What to send | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Molded or pultruded | Molded, square mesh |
| Depth and mesh | Panel depth and opening | 38 mm deep, 38 × 38 mm mesh |
| Panel size | Standard sheets or cut to size | 1,220 × 3,660 mm or custom |
| Resin | Polyester, vinyl ester, phenolic | Vinyl ester for strong acids |
| Surface | Grit, concave, smooth | Grit-embedded top |
| Colour | Standard grey, yellow, green or custom | Safety yellow |
| Loads and span | Uniform and concentrated loads, clear span | Pedestrian, 1.2 m span |
| Fire and smoke | Class and standard | Flame-retardant, e.g. ASTM E84 class |
| Accessories | Clips, bearing bars, edge banding, toe plates | Stainless-steel M-clips |
| Quantity and shipping | Area, delivery terms, container loading | 500 m² FOB |

Market and standards notes
For projects in Australia, platforms, walkways and stairs are commonly checked against AS 1657; other regions have their own rules for slip resistance, handrails and fire. Name the code on the enquiry so the supplier can match test evidence. We do not publish market sizes; a local engineer or distributor can tell you which products your authority accepts.
Before you order
- Ask for the load/deflection table of the exact product, and a sample panel.
- Check the surface on a wet sample if it will be used outdoors or in washdown.
- Agree tolerances for panel size and flatness.
- Confirm packaging that protects the panel edges in transit.
Technical background: FRP grating types and load capacity.
Common mistakes when buying grating
- Buying by price per square metre without comparing depth, resin and surface.
- Not stating the span, so the panel is under-specified for the load.
- Choosing a smooth surface for a wet or oily area.
- Forgetting fixings: clips, bearing bars and edge banding.
