FRP dock surfaces from National Grating install quickly and look great. You can easily cut them to size them yourself with a circular saw and a diamond blade. They can be fastened to existing support structures with purpose-designed clips that are very easy to use. FRP walkway panels outperform wood, which degrades quickly in a wet environment, cracks and checks in the freeze thaw cycle and suffers from the use of cleaners and de-icing chemicals. The FRP dock surface easily handles foot traffic, rolling carts and all the demands made in a busy marina environment.
Dock walkway panels from National Grating are made of lightweight FRP, and do not require heavy equipment to move them, unlike steel grating. Installing heavy dock timbers one by one is time consuming, dirty work. Our FRP dock walkway materials can be installed quickly, as each section covers a larger surface area – panels come as large as 80 square feet!
A: VIRTUALLY, NONE. SINCE FRP IS CORROSION RESISTANT AND UV STABLE, YOU REALLY DON’T HAVE TO DO ANY TYPE OF MAINTENANCE TO IT.
Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) are composite materials that are unique and valuable source material in many respects. One of the most appealing attributes of FRP is that they are adaptable to just about any environment—especially ones where traditional materials would be short-lived and require a lot of maintenance.
FRP, on the other hand, requires virtually no maintenance even in environments with harsh elements such as corrosive material exposure, UV exposure, and electrical hazards. FRP is a very cost-effective solution for many industries due to its reliability versus traditional materials like metal and wood.
When considering materials for structures in harsh environments, the biggest financial worry is the cost or maintenance. While materials and installation are a significant upfront cost regardless of which material is used—metal has the most expensive perpetual maintenance costs. Not to mention, that eventually metal will corrode, rust and break, or can also cause an electrical accident.
Since FRP has garnered more notoriety in the industrial workplace, it has become the new choice for companies all around the world and for good reason.
One of the main reasons FRP are virtually maintenance-free is because in corrosive environments where other materials degrade—FRP is unaffected. This means there is no more replacing or repairing corroded grating, pipes that have rusted through, or handrails that have cracked.
It is this one shining property of FRP that has so many different industries viewing FRP as the most cost-effective solution ahead of traditional materials. Where metal was once the dominant material of choice, it has now moved behind FRP as a much costlier solution in the long-run.

Fiber Reinforced Plastics are lauded for their corrosion resistant properties as well as their ability to resist abrasions as well. Since FRP are a composite; they combine fiberglass and polymer resins to create a unique material; both ingredients play a specific role once bonded.
Fiber strands are responsible for the majority of the strength found in FRP and resins provide the resistance to corrosion and direct stress to the fibers. Because the resins are thermoset, FRP will not melt when heated since the material is infusible.
DEFI FRP products are given their unique resistance to the elements by using a process of pultrusion that adds a specific characteristic to the mixture before it is set. There are many different laminate schedules but the most often requested is the corrosion barrier.
Generally, FRP products constructed using polyester or vinyl ester resins due to their superior thermal, and corrosion resistance traits. However, that doesn’t mean that all manufacturers will offer those specific resins. Corrosion barrier and resin choices are a key component that can affect the overall performance of your product. You should always make sure you’re getting the right combination for your project needs.
At DEFI our team gets detailed information on what application you plan on using our products in and we make to order, FRP products with the proper materials to meet your specifications. We offer only the best resins to deliver FRP products that give you a cost-effective alternative that will last in any industrial environment. Our products give you the strength of steel and then some while cutting out the extra weight, freight costs, and installation hassles.
Whether it’s a small project or a massive plant that needs all structures fitted with FRP grating and other parts—we have you covered. We are confident in our pultruded FRP products and stand behind them 100% as they outperform other manufacturers in any application.
We manufacturer all of our own products in a wide variety of structural components including decking, platforms, grating, beams, bars, and angles. All of our products can be fitted with specific qualities as well as textures for non-slip needs for any component such as:
FRP has been used widely in industries such as marine, water treatment plants, chemical processing and automotive factories to replace their aging metal counterparts. Regardless of the market, our FRP products can provide a much needed long-term upgrade at a lower cost of ownership than metal.
With all of the features found in FRP, they should be seriously considered as a solution for repair and shoring up structural strength no matter what industry you serve.
At DEFI we aren’t in the business of short life cycle products that last only a few years. We use our composite materials to solve your challenges in design. Our products reduce your overall costs, performs better than metal, and in the long-run will cost you much less than traditional products.
We stand behind not only our products which we manufacture to our stringent standards, but we also stand behind our customer service. Contact us today and let us design your project for the long haul.
