GRATINGS PRODUCTION

Production and installation of fibreglass gratings

In Europe, gratings production is entrusted to leading companies in the sector, able to combine innovation and research with a high safety rating throughout the technical stages of production.

Notable among the companies specialising in the manufacture of gratings, is Eurograte, an integral part of Ticomm & Promaco which, with twenty years in business, can now be considered a company of worldwide significance in the manufacture of monolithic gratings, moulded gratings, pultruded gratings and fibreglass structures.

The difference between these products and the usual metal products lies in their intrinsic qualities of lightness and resistance to corrosion, low electrical conductivity and high mechanical resistance.

In any application and in the construction of any type of structure (adapted for the industrial, construction, naval or airport sectors, for example), there will be a reduced specific weight, without causing stresses under load or traction, while maintaining safety and strength standards.

Pultrusion, carried out during the gratings production stage, is a continuous chemical process involving passing glass fibres, pulled into a thread, through a zone soaked in polymeric resins.

This material then enters the appropriate heated pultrusion mould; it is pulled through it to be modelled and, thanks to the heat, a true exothermic reaction is started, which starts the process of hardening the component. In this way a fibreglass profile is made, completely polymerised and in various sections and sizes.
