Architectural/Commercial Solutions

On commercial and public buildings, access structures are on show. They need to match the design, stay looking good and not leave rust stains down a facade. Composite Engineering’s FRP grating, handrails and profiles are lightweight, corrosion resistant and coloured through, so they will not rust or need repainting.

Where FRP Is Used on Commercial Projects

Rooftop access walkways
Decking and walkways
Footbridges and jetties
Handrail systems
Non-slip access ramps
Stairs and ladders
Swimming pools and aquatic centres

Colours and Finishes to Match the Design

MaxiRAIL handrails suit projects where appearance matters as much as durability. They are available in any RAL colour to match the building, and they will not fade, rust or need repainting.

MaxiGRATE FRP grating comes in four standard colours, with any other RAL colour on request, and in surface finishes from concave with no grit to standard grit. Mini and micro mesh patterns give a closer surface for public areas. See the RAL colour chart.

Self-closing safety gates can be fabricated in a wide range of styles, including architectural designs, while still meeting Australian Standards.

Pools, Wet Areas and Public Spaces

FRP does not corrode in chlorinated or wet environments and stays non-slip underfoot. At Broadmeadows Aquatic and Leisure Centre our grating was used to raise the floor.

For parks and trails, we build footbridges and crossings, including FRP bridges for mountain bike trails.

Rooftop Walkways Without the Weight

FRP roof access walkways install directly to the roof panels without damage and add far less load than a metal walkway. The anti-slip surfaces meet and exceed Australian Standards, and there is no ongoing maintenance. MaxiSTRUCT profiles carry the loads of steel and aluminium at a fraction of the weight.

Custom profiles and shapes can be made for one-off designs. We model each part with FEA before it is made.
