FRP Mini-Mesh Grating & Close-Mesh Panels
Mini-mesh FRP grating uses small openings to stop tools, small parts and high heels from passing through, while keeping the open-mesh benefits of drainage and light weight.
Mini-mesh (close-mesh) FRP grating is molded with a much smaller opening than standard mesh, typically around 12–13 mm. The close openings prevent tools, fasteners and small components from falling through and make the panel heel-proof for footwear.
It retains the core advantages of fiberglass grating: corrosion resistance, light weight, anti-slip surfaces and drainage, while adding a near-solid walking surface that gives personnel confidence over open areas and sensitive equipment below.
Mini-mesh panels are commonly specified for elevated platforms, mezzanines and walkways where dropped-object protection is required, and can be supplied in the same resin and color range as standard grating.
Key Benefits
- Small openings retain tools, bolts and small parts
- Heel-proof walking surface for all standard footwear
- Corrosion-proof, lightweight and anti-slip
- Drains liquids while blocking solid objects
- Dropped-object protection over equipment below
