McNICHOLS® Pultruded Fiberglass Grating is a composite of fiberglass reinforcements (fibers and mat) and a thermosetting resin system, formed by the pultrusion manufacturing process which produces many of the outstanding characteristics of the product.

Pultruded Fiberglass Grating bearing bars use both longitudinal (glass roving) and multidirectional (glass mat) reinforcements and a synthetic surfacing veil to provide unequaled strength and corrosion resistance. The densely packed core of continuous glass rovings gives the bar strength and stiffness in the longitudinal direction while the continuous glass mat provides strength in the transverse direction and prevents chipping, cracking and lineal fracturing. The synthetic surfacing veil provides a 100% pure resin surface for added corrosion resistance and UV protection.

Pultruded Fiberglass I-Bar Grating

Pultruded I-Bar Fiberglass Grating is manufactured with a high percentage of glass within the laminate, providing durability, extremely high unidirectional strength and stiffness. UV coating available by special order. Heavy duty rectangular bar is designed to take heavy wheel traffic. Due to the variety of wheel types and loading contact our Customer Service Specialists to determine the type of heavy duty grating required.
