Archatrak 8′ x 4′ FRP grating panels are used both to provide break through protection of our 2cm porcelain pavers on elevated roof decks and also as base support surface for synthetic turf decks on rooftops.
Our MidiMesh FRP grating has 1 ½” x 1 ½” primary load bars with an extra intermediate cross bar at the top of the grating, ½” deep creating a ½” x ½” aperture.
Our MiniMesh FRP grating has 1 ½” x 1 ½” primary load bars with two extra intermediate crossbars at the top of the grating, ½” deep, creating apertures of just ¼” x ¼”. The small apertures prevent most objects from falling through but still offer excellent drainage.
