GRP Flowtread

Pultruded glass reinforced polyester (GRP) grating for achieving longer spans, used on walkways, platforms, gullies and drainage covers.

Lionweld Kennedy Flowtread is pultruded open mesh grating made with GRP providing a corrosion-resistant, low maintenance option where increased spans and higher load capacity are required.

Flowtread has a glass to resin ratio of 65:35, providing increased stiffness and making it capable of achieving longer spans and a higher load capacity than the standard moulded GRP systems. It is ideal for walkways, platforms, and mezzanine decks.

The isophthalic polyester grating panels are suitable for general use where factors such as high-strength, non-conductive, lightweight and corrosion-resistant applications are required.

Flowtread panels are up to 50% lighter than steel and are finished in a hard-wearing anti-slip gritted surface – compliant to National and Internationally recognised standards - for excellent slip-resistance.

Available in a range of depths and colours, Flowtread is also available in Phenolic with its excellent fire retardant properties that meet BS476 Part 7 Class 0 and section 12 of London underground standards for low smoke and low toxicity use in tunnels, as well as being USCG and DNV L2 approved.
