FIBERGLASS GRATING

and PULTRUDED GRATING

High Strength Pultruded Fiberglass Grating

What is DURADEK® and DURAGRID® ?

DURADEK® and DURAGRID® are high strength pultruded bar
type gratings that can be designed and used like traditional
metal grates but have the inherent benefits of fiberglass.
These problem solving products are ideal replacements for
steel or aluminum gratings in corrosive environments or
anywhere frequent grating and walkway replacement costs are
unacceptable.
DURADEK® is a standard product stocked by distributors
nationwide. It is available with individual bearing bars in either
1" or 1-1/2" I-shapes or a 2" T-shape. DURADEK® is a flame
retardant product utilizing a polyester or vinyl ester resin. The
bearing bars are assembled into 12 panel sizes: 3-, 4-, and
5- foot widths in each of 8-, 10-, 12- and 20-foot lengths.
Standard panels are available with cross-rod spacings of 6" or
12" on center.
DURAGRID® custom grid or grating systems are designed to
accommodate specific applications that cannot effectively be
met by a standard fiberglass grating. DURAGRID® offers the
customer options such as selection of open space, bar shape,
cross-rod placement, custom fabrication, custom resin or color.

Why Use DURADEK® or DURAGRID® Grating?

DURADEK® and DURAGRID® are lightweight, which saves on
freight and makes installation easier. The unique cross-bar
construction of DURADEK® and DURAGRID® allows the grating

Applications

DURADEK® and DURAGRID® grating systems are designed to

accommodate a wide variety of applications, such as:
• General Industry • Consumer/Recreation
• Marine/Offshore • Cellular Communications
• Mining/Processing • Food and Beverage Operations
• Plating Operations • Water/Wastewater Treatment

1979
DURAGRID® Phenolic grating is used for fire integrity, weight savings and
low maintenance and is U.S. Coast Guard approved. Compared to standard
steel grating, DURAGRID® Phenolic I-6000 1-1/2” can carry 1.75 times the
load of equivalent steel grating. Unlike metal gratings, DURAGRID® Phenolic
has memory—returning to its original shape if design loads are exceeded.

In 1979, DURADEK® grating was

2002 installed on Shell’s offshore platform
Ellen (now owned by Beta Offshore).
The 30-plus years of exposure on
Ellen has had little to no effect on
the nearly 10,000 square feet of grating.
Even accidental sandblasting and paint
overspray has not degraded the anti-
skid surface.
When asked in 2010 about the lifespan
of the grating on the platform, Facility
Superintendent Yohn Rosqui stated,
“The grating looks to be in great shape. Strongwell’s DURAGRID® T-1700 pultruded grating was used to replace

Nosings for Stair Treads and Landings

Stair treads and landings are produced by attaching a 2" deep nosing to
the leading edge. This gives added strength and rigidity to the area that
takes the most impact and abuse. In addition, the nosing provides more
surface area for skid resistance, wear and better visibility. Gray stair STAINLESS STEEL SADDLE

DURAGRID® Heavy Duty Grating

The following load tables are for the solid bar heavy duty grating designed to take
heavy wheel traffic such as forklifts, tow motors and truck traffic. Because of the
variety of wheel types and loading, it is recommended that you contact Strongwell to
determine the series of heavy duty grating needed for your application.
