One of the frequently asked questions is how to you fasten down FRP grating? Here are some of the different options available to get that grating safely secured. All of our clips are made from 316 stainless steel and available to suit different grating thicknesses.

Standard Mesh Grating - M Clips

M clips are used to secure the grating to a support/joist using two adjacent bars of the grating. They fasten the grating very securely due to the excellent holding capacity. These type of clips are recommended for most uses.

J clamps are used in conjunction with an M clip. Rather than screwing into the support, a J clamp secures to the underside of the supporting member.
