Comparison and Analysis of Fiberglass Grating and Iron Grating


Release time:

2019/05/17

The iron grid has the following characteristics: 1. Reduced investment: saves materials, labor, construction time, and eliminates cleaning and maintenance. 2. Material savings: under the same load conditions, it saves materials, which can correspondingly reduce the materials for the supporting structure. 3. Easy construction: can be fixed with bolts or welding on pre-installed supports, and can be completed by one person. 4. Time-saving: the product does not require on-site reprocessing, and installation is very quick. 5. Durable: treated with hot-dip galvanization for corrosion resistance before leaving the factory, with strong impact and heavy load capacity. 6. Modern style: aesthetically pleasing appearance, standardized design, ventilated and light-transmitting, giving an overall smooth modern feel.

The iron grid has the following characteristics:

1. Reduced investment: saves materials, labor, construction time, and eliminates cleaning and maintenance.

2. Material saving: under the same load conditions, it saves materials, and correspondingly reduces the materials for the supporting structure.

3. Easy construction: can be fixed with bolts or welding on pre-installed supports, and can be completed by one person.

4. Saves construction time: the product does not require on-site reprocessing, and installation is very quick.

5. Durable: treated with hot-dip galvanization before leaving the factory, strong impact and heavy load resistance.

6. Modern style: aesthetically pleasing, standardized design, ventilated and light-transmitting, giving an overall smooth modern feel.

7. Lightweight structure: uses less material, has a light structure, and is easy to hoist.

8. Prevents accumulation of dirt: does not accumulate rainwater, ice, snow, or dust.

9. Reduces wind resistance: due to good ventilation, it has low wind resistance in strong winds, reducing wind damage.

10. Simple design: no need for small supporting beams, simple structure, and simplified design.

However, iron grids also have several major disadvantages: 1. Iron rusts;2.Iron is heavy;3.Iron can corrode.

The fiberglass grating produced by Beihai Yueda Fiberglass Products Co., Ltd. has the following advantages:

1. Corrosion-resistant: The polyester type is a non-metallic material that does not rust, mold, or corrode, does not require painting, and can withstand corrosion from many gases and liquids, making it maintenance-free. Therefore, unlike traditional metal gratings, it does not corrode or rust under the action of chemical media and does not require regular inspection or maintenance.

2. Lightweight: Its specific gravity is around 1.8, and its weight is only1/4of steel,2/3of aluminum.

3. High strength: Its strength is ten times that of rigid PVC, and its absolute strength greatly exceeds that of aluminum, reaching the level of ordinary steel.

4. Fatigue resistance: Fiberglass grating has slight elasticity, which makes it comfortable for people working on it for long periods. As a working platform, it reduces fatigue in the legs and back of workers, increases comfort, and thus improves work efficiency, earning recommendations from ergonomists.

5. Convenient installation: Polyester grating panels significantly reduce the weight of components, thereby reducing the weight of the supporting structure. No lifting equipment is needed during installation, making it both economical and convenient.

6. Safety: It has smoldering and insulating properties, and will not produce electric sparks due to collisions during the installation and use of polyester grating panels, making it suitable for use in flammable and explosive environments. Additionally, gratings with anti-slip surfaces can prevent slips and reduce accidents.

7. Good overall economic benefits: Compared to iron gratings, the overall finished product cost of fiberglass gratings is lower. Although its initial investment is higher than that of iron gratings, due to its long service life and maintenance-free nature, its overall economic benefits are significantly better than those of iron gratings.

In summary, it can be seen that fiberglass gratings perfectly compensate for the shortcomings of iron gratings and are one of the products with great development prospects.
