Here is the look of the progress right now from shore.

We are using existing piles and your structural components to stabilize them and tie it all together.

All fasteners are ½” Dia – 316 Stainless Steel, with Nylok Nuts. Lateral bracing is in 6” I beams, stringers are 8” H Beam facia is 8” C-Channel. Cross ties to piles in 12” C – Channel. Cross beams to piles with ¾” – 316 Stainless all thread with 316 Stainless Nylok nuts.

It is an incredible look and STRONG structure. I was amazed at how tightly it is holding everything together. A truly remarkable product that is making an amazing finished product.

If you want to come look, or want more information let me know.

Hi Dylan 

I bought some grating from you a couple months ago.

Just wanted to let you know I did receive your gift card, that was very thoughtful.

My project was delayed due to weather and vacations. But I did cut and install the grating today.

I’m sure it is an unusual application. I was rebuilding the deck that is on top of my house and needed material that could span the 43 inches across the peak without contacting it, there was only a couple of inches for  clearance. The original deck design had supports that rested on top of the shingles which caused leakage. 

Your fiberglass grating was the only solution I could find . 

I’ll send a photo of the finished deck in a few weeks!

Hi Dylan, received your letter in the mail, very nice touch, its not very often we see any hand written letters these days, let alone a GC.

I have attached a couple pictures of the FRP grating that I installed on my dock gangway. Its looks so much better then the old plywood.

When my neighbours compliment me on it I’ll make sure to pass along your info so they can do there docks as well.

Now I’m off to Tim Horton for my afternoon coffee.

Thank you.

We greatly appreciated the hand-written card and gift card. We send hand-written thank you cards too and to see we’re not the only ones still practicing good ol’ thank-you cards certainly brings a smile to my face! 😊

The grating is working well for our application, with a few adjustments on our end as previously we had a solid platform so levelers on legs would go right through now.

Durability and sustainability is certainly there and so far we’re quite pleased with the product.

Thanks again for reaching out!

I hope you’re having an incredible week!

FRP Grating Winter Applications

Winter Applications for FRP Grating, Stair Treads and Railings

As the fall and winter seasons approach, many are gearing up to face the challenges that come with cold, wet, icy and slippery conditions. FRP Grating and Structural products are ideal for cold weather and arctic installations as they have very low thermal conductivity and do not become brittle in the extreme cold faced by many across North America.

One of the most significant advantages of FRP grating, stair treads and stair tread covers in winter is their exceptional slip resistance. FRP surfaces are engineered to provide reliable traction, even when wet or covered in snow and ice. This can prevent accidents and ensure safe movement on stairs and walkways, both indoors and outdoors.

Slips trips and falls are the #1 cause of workplace injuries.

Choose FRP Grating for a safe workspace!

Consider FRP Grating, Stair Treads, and Railings for the following Benefits/Advantages:

1. Safety in Slippery Conditions:


One of the most significant advantages of FRP grating, stair treads, and handrails in winter is their exceptional slip resistance. FRP surfaces are engineered to provide reliable traction, even when wet or covered in snow and ice. This can prevent accidents and ensure safe movement on stairs and walkways, both indoors and outdoors.

2. Corrosion Resistance:


Winter weather often means exposure to salt and de-icing chemicals, which can be corrosive to traditional materials like steel. FRP is highly resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for outdoor installations, such as walkways and handrails. Its durability ensures that these elements remain safe and functional throughout the winter season.

FRP Stair treads with yellow nosing and grit top are the ultimate in winter safety!

3. Low Thermal Conductivity:


FRP has a low thermal conductivity, which means it does not readily transfer heat or cold. In winter, this can be a significant advantage. Handrails made of FRP won’t become uncomfortably cold to the touch, providing a more pleasant experience for those who need to hold onto them in chilly weather.

4. Low Maintenance:


FRP products require minimal maintenance. They do not rust, warp, or rot, and they’re highly resistant to the effects of freezing and thawing. This translates to cost savings and less time spent on upkeep during the winter season.

5. Longevity and Durability:


FRP materials are built to last. They can withstand the harsh conditions of winter without deteriorating. This long-term durability ensures that your infrastructure investments remain sound and reliable year after year.

6. Easy Installation:


FRP products are lightweight and easy to install, which can save time and resources, especially during winter when weather-related challenges can increase project complexities.


Embracing FRP grating, stair treads, and handrails during the winter season is a smart choice for safety, reliability, and longevity. These versatile materials offer a range of benefits that can help ensure that your infrastructure remains secure and functional, regardless of the weather conditions. Whether it’s in industrial settings, commercial properties, or residential areas, the advantages of FRP are undeniable during the challenging winter months.

National Grating FRP Products Designed for Winter Applications

Large openings in grating allow snow and ice to pass through

Fiberglass Stair Tread Covers

Fiberglass stair tread covers are excellent for use in heavy traffic areas, such as outdoor walkways. The anti-slip surfaces of these FRP stair tread covers are an important safety feature in walkways where moisture is present.

FRP Stair Tread Covers are molded, non-slip and gritted, with a yellow nosing for the ultimate in non-slip, high visibility surface. They are the ideal solution for outdoor and slippery all-weather applications, featuring high corrosion resistance, durable grit, and easy installation.

FRP Stair tread covers can be installed over wood, concrete or metal steps and are manufactured with a quartz grit-top surface and a standard nosing of highly visible yellow.

Fiberglass Stair Treads

Fiberglass stairs are the best solution for outdoor anti-slip stairs. Stair treads made of FRP grating are lightweight, easy to fabricate, and highly durable. 

Fiberglass stair treads are available as molded FRP treads with yellow nosing’s and a gritted surface, for the ultimate safety in wet or icy slippery conditions.

Optional gritted anti-slip top surface promotes safety while the large open area of the grating allows for water, snow and ice to simply pass through the material. 

FRP Grating with anti-slip Quartz grit top coating provides great grip in slippery conditions

Fiberglass Plate

Fiberglass plate is light in weight and is easy to install, and at the same time is durable and sturdy. Pultruded Fiberglass Plate is industrial anti-slip flooring that is corrosion resistant and outlasts traditional building materials like steel and even stainless-steel plate. Most safety flooring applications will benefit from using Fiberglass Plate, and the different types of grit (smooth, fine, diamond) can give slip resistance in a wide variety of slippery situations.

Molded FRP Grating

The ultimate safe walking surface for walkways, docks with an optional gritted anti-slip top surface that promotes safety while the large open area of the grating allows for water, snow and ice to simply pass through the material.

Heavy Duty Fiberglass Grating

Heavy Duty Grating is used to covers areas with heavy traffic.

Our High Load Capacity (HLC) molded grating is heavy duty, corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance. It’s engineered to carry heavy traffic like trucks and forklifts. HLC grating has many advantages over steel grating for performance and cost effectiveness. With a much higher strength-to-weight ratio, molded HLC fiberglass grating has optional top grit to provide extra grip in slippery outdoor applications. 

FRP Railings have a high strength to weight ratio allowing for easy install and a safe work space

Fiberglass Railing

Fiberglass Railing, Handrail and Ladder Systems are a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution for harsh outdoor environments. FRP railing systems provide inherent corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity and they are easy to fabricate and install. The installed cost is much lower than steel, and because of the long life and low maintenance life cycle, the costs of fiberglass railing are significantly lower than traditional materials over their lifetime.
