How to Fasten FRP Grating?
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.
Standard Mesh Grating - J Clamps
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.
Mini Mesh Grating - M Clips
Mini mesh version of the M clip, works the same way as for the standard mesh grating just sized to fit in the smaller opening of the grating.
Micro Mesh Grating - Dome Washers
The dome washers simply sit on top of the micro mesh grating and a secured with a screw. These can also be used on solid top grating.
Micro Mesh Grating - Countersunk Screw
Micro mesh grating can also be fastened down using a 12G countersunk screw which gives a clean finish with no protruding hardware.
