Fiberglass Grating

Bell Composite fiberglass grating products are light-weight, strong, anti-fire chemical and UV resistant, and reduces costly maintenance. Our grating products are well suited for highly corrosive environments and offer extended life, eliminating periodic maintenance and extra cost, offering an excellent alternative compared to steel or aluminium gratings.
Bell Composite grating products offer many different styles and colors are dimensionally stable and easy to install on site.


 

Fiberglass grating versus steel or aluminium

Composites consist of at least two different component materials which in the case of 'fibre glass' combine to produce a strong, rigid product.
Fibre Glass makes up a significant portion of the composites used in industry today. In fibre glass products the resin or 'matrix' transfers the shear and the glass fibres resist the tensile and compressive loads.
When using fibre glass composite materials instead of materials such as steel, or timber, there are significant reductions in weight due to the properties of the component materials.
Because it is a combination of materials, a composite product can be designed in specific shapes for different purposes, while providing a number of advantages compared to materials such as aluminium, steel or timber, such as resistance to chemicals, as well as electrical and thermal insulating properties.
The expert team at Fibre Composites can produce composite molded products from design through to completion. With pattern makers, mould fabricators and production experts on hand in our facility your new product can be skillfully under way without the delay of outsourcing specialist skills.
Continuous production is a specialty at Fibre Composites where our up to date facility can handle small to large production runs.
