FRP Solutions for Rooftop Walkways

National Grating FRP Rooftop Walkway

Here at National Grating we specialize in providing FRP Solutions to a wide variety of applications. Currently, we are seeing a high demand for FRP grating in the construction of Rooftop Walkways.

National Grating FRP grating offers safety, durability, and ease of installation for rooftop walkways.  Rooftop walkways are common in industrial applications to prevent damage to the roof by foot traffic, to increase safety, to create predetermined routes to areas of importance and for OSHA requirements.


National Grating Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) grating is an excellent choice for rooftop walkways due to several advantages:

Non-Penetrating Design: FRP grating can be installed without penetrating the roof surface, ensuring the integrity of the roof membrane and preventing leaks.

Slip Resistance: The open mesh design of FRP grating provides slip resistance, even in wet or slick conditions. This is crucial for safe rooftop access.

Lightweight: FRP grating is lightweight, making it easy to handle during installation and maintenance and results in less strain on the roof structure.

Long Service Life: FRP materials are durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan even in outdoor environments.

Ergonomic Work Surface: When elevated using pedestals, FRP grating creates a slip-resistant, ergonomic “work mat.” This design allows chips and fluids to fall below the standing surface, reducing slip and fall hazards. It’s perfect for applications like lathes or mills, providing a safe and portable workstation.

High Visibility: In low light or inclement weather high visibility yellow grating provides a highly visible and safe walking surface solution.

National Grating FRP grating offers safety, durability, and ease of installation, making it an ideal choice for rooftop walkways and maintenance access.
