Frequently Asked Questions

FRP gratings can be installed using several methods depending on the application:

• Hold-down Clamps: The most common method using stainless steel or FRP clamps
• Saddle Clips: Used for securing gratings to structural members
• Embedded Anchors: For permanent installations in concrete
• Bonding: Using structural adhesives for certain applications

Installation typically follows these steps:

1. Prepare the supporting structure ensuring it’s level and clean
2. Position the grating panels with appropriate overlap or spacing
3. Cut panels if necessary using diamond-tipped or abrasive blades
4. Secure panels using the appropriate fastening method
5. Install trim pieces or edge banding if required
