GRP Flooring & Grating
GRP Flooring and Grating Systems for Industrial Environments
What Is GRP Flooring & Grating?
GRP flooring refers to solid or closed-surface panels designed to provide full coverage, containment or protection. GRP grating refers to open-mesh flooring systems designed to allow drainage, airflow and visibility while providing safe access.
Both systems are lightweight, corrosion resistant and non-conductive, and can be designed to suit specific load, safety and environmental requirements.
GRP Flooring vs GRP Grating
Choosing between GRP flooring and GRP grating depends on the application and operating environment.
GRP Flooring is typically used where:
- Full surface coverage is required
- Equipment, cables or processes need protection
- Containment of liquids or debris is necessary
GRP Grating is typically used where:
- Drainage or airflow is required
- Slip resistance and visibility are important
- Lightweight structural access systems are needed
Types of GRP Grating
PJNC supplies a range of GRP grating systems designed to suit different structural and environmental requirements.
Pultruded GRP Grating
Pultruded GRP grating is manufactured from individual pultruded load-bearing profiles assembled into rigid panels. It is designed for applications requiring high load capacity, longer spans and controlled deflection.
Moulded GRP Grating
Moulded GRP grating is manufactured as a single, integrated panel with bi-directional strength. It is suitable for applications requiring corrosion resistance, slip resistance and flexibility in layout, including cut-outs and irregular installations.
GRP Flooring Systems
GRP flooring systems provide solid surface solutions for industrial environments where safety, durability and containment are required.
Solid Top GRP Flooring
Solid top GRP flooring provides full surface coverage and is commonly used for walkways, platforms, odour control covers and areas requiring protection from external elements.
GRP flooring systems can be supplied with anti-slip finishes and manufactured using fire-retardant resin systems to suit specific site and safety requirements.
Safety, Durability & Performance
GRP flooring and grating systems offer a range of performance benefits, including:
- Corrosion resistance in aggressive environments
- Slip-resistant surface options
- Lightweight construction for easier handling and installation
- Non-conductive and non-magnetic properties
- Minimal maintenance over the service life
These characteristics make GRP systems suitable for long-term use in industrial and infrastructure environments.
Standards & Compliance
GRP flooring and grating systems supplied by PJNC are suitable for use in applications requiring compliance with recognised industry standards, including:
- BS 4592 – Industrial flooring, stair treads and handrails manufactured from GRP materials
- BS EN ISO 14122 – Safety of machinery and permanent means of access
Compliance supports use in safety-critical access systems and industrial environments.
Typical Applications
GRP flooring and grating systems are commonly used in:
- Water and wastewater treatment facilities
- Chemical processing and manufacturing plants
- Offshore and marine environments
- Utilities and energy installations
- Food and beverage processing facilities
- Industrial platforms, walkways and access routes
Both new installations and refurbishment projects can benefit from GRP systems where durability and safety are required.

Frequently Asked Questions
GRP flooring is made from glass fibre reinforced resin (polyester or vinyl ester), forming a lightweight yet extremely strong and corrosion-resistant surface.
It’s ideal for industrial plants, wastewater facilities, chemical sites, and offshore platforms — anywhere strength, safety, and corrosion resistance are essential.
GRP doesn’t corrode, requires no painting, and is around 50% lighter than steel while offering equivalent strength.
Yes. Panels can be cut or pultruded to custom dimensions, with options for solid tops, mesh, or micro-mesh.
All PJNC LIMITED flooring systems feature anti-slip grit finishes to meet safety regulations in wet and hazardous environments.
